The Era Wedding & Event Venue

Your wedding day goes by in a blink. Your wedding weekend doesn't have to.

The Era is Iowa's wedding weekend venue — set on 20+ acres between Des Moines and Omaha, built for couples who want more than a single rushed day. From the moment you arrive Friday to the moment you leave Sunday, the property is yours. No sharing. No clock-watching. No loading a truck at midnight.

Here's what that actually looks like. Friday evening you pull in, get settled into the on-site house, and hold your rehearsal dinner right here. Saturday morning you wake up already where you need to be — your girls head up to the bridal loft, the guys spread out in the groom's lounge, and nobody is fighting traffic or watching the time. That evening you get married. You dance. You stay as long as you want. Sunday morning you have breakfast with your family, take a slow walk around the grounds, and leave when you're ready — not because someone needs the space back.

And here's what you never have to think about: setup, teardown, or what you're forgetting. Every Era booking includes tables, chairs, linens, and a full décor collection already on-site. Our team sets everything up before you arrive and handles every bit of breakdown after you leave. You show up. You celebrate. You go home.

All of that comes with on-site lodging for 19 guests, a luxury bridal loft with six hair and makeup stations, a groom's lounge, exclusive bar service partner, indoor ceremony and reception space for up to 204, an outdoor pond ceremony site, and a team with you all weekend long. Everything included. No hidden fees. No surprises.

This is what a wedding should feel like.
