Our wedding was here and was perfect! The food is amazing and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Emma, the venue coordinator, is wonderful and easy to work with!!! I’d definitely recommend this venue to others. The use of the rooftop patio for our ceremony was perfect and we only used included house decor and loved all the details and didn’t feel like we needed outside rentals, etc. With many people traveling for our wedding, having all events at the hotel people where people were staying was so convenient!

Little Lights on the Lane

Just minutes from Iowa City, Little Lights is the perfect wedding reception venue, blending modern elegance with scenic Iowa charm. The stunning space features tall ceilings, expansive windows, and a clean white palette ideal for any wedding style. Set against the rolling hills of a picturesque golf course, this venue offers an elegant backdrop for an unforgettable wedding reception.

This was an absolutely beautiful venue for the wedding that I attended. It was a fairytale wedding in a breathtaking setting. The staff was professional, friendly and very accommodating.
The ceremony was held outdoors followed by dinner indoors, and later dancing on a gorgeous patio. Little Lights on the Lane is far away from the hustle and bustle of a city. The scenery is beautiful and we were able to enjoy a gorgeous sunset to top off the day! Coralville is very close which provided the guests who needed lodging many viable choices! I highly recommend this venue!
