The Tea Room

Beautiful Venue Friendly / Attentive Staff Clear Communication Recently I was honored to be the Emcee for an incredible wedding celebration that was hosted at The Tea Room in downtown Des Moines Maddie and the staff were amazing with their communication and answering questions via email to make our load in and setup.a breeze. When you're traveling 5x hours away to entertain a couple and their family, having important details is crucial to ensuring a stress free evening for everyone involved. Let me just say that the room is BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous crown molding adorning the 16" foot ceilings, the views of downtown Des Moines and the separate "spaces" for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and lounge area are often undercooked as you think about the guest experience for an 8+ hour day. This place is such a gem in the heart of the city and makes me wish we had a similar venue in my hometown. If you're looking at hosting an event in the bridal, corporate or non-profit space, this is an incredible asset to the entire events industry.

I wish I could give more than five stars because we had a wonderful experience with the staff at The Tea Room. I planned a bridal shower for my sister-in-law while living three hours away from Des Moines. The staff was so helpful and quick to respond to all of the concerns and questions I had. I would love to host more events here in the future because they are simply the best!

Our son and his new bride hosted their wedding and reception at The Tea Room on 6/25/2022. The staff were helpful and professional. The venue amazingly beautiful! They performed the ceremony and then flipped it for the reception while we enjoyed a cocktail hour on the west side. So many wonderful comments. Also, my husband and I picked up the rental items to return on Monday. Staff let us use their carts to move everything to our car in the basement parking. They helped us find a couple of lost items as well. Highly recommend this venue!

I cannot recommend the team at the Tea Room enough! Not only is the venue itself gorgeous and so well-maintained, but the staff were absolute professionals. We recently held our wedding and reception there, and the team helped the day go off without a hitch - it was a seamless transition between all the various rooms, and every single staff person I interacted with was kind and helpful. The room itself it gorgeous with plenty of room for a big celebration - it was wonderful to have the lounging spaces with couches throughout the space for some older guests!
