Why is everything sold out?
Soooo the bride and groom accidentally picked a very busy weekend for hotels in Des Moines (oops) and hotels are selling out faster than Zoey can update this site. We recommend googling around or reaching out to the bride and groom for guidance.
​
If you do not mind a 20-30 minute drive to the venue, we recommend looking at hotels in West Des Moines for the best availability.
