The setting
“If you are looking for a venue in the Des Moines area that combines rustic charm with professional service and stunning spaces, I highly recommend Happy Apple Celebrations.”
“There’s an open grass area, a large pond, apple trees, and evergreen trees!”
“My only recommendation is to spruce up the outdoor ceremony space (the altar space) but I believe that is in the plans for next year.”
Amenities couples mention
“Bridal suite is in the middle of everything going on so the bride can stay hidden while still being able to be involved!”

From the reviews
I just got married out at happy Apple celebrations and it was the best day of our lives. Sarah and Ryan were so nice and very helpful. I made multiple visits out to the venue to arrange centerpieces to walk through it and get a refresher of what the decorations that were already there were.
We had the pleasure of working at Happy Apple Celebrations recently, and I can’t say enough about this venue. From the moment we arrived, the staff made the process smooth and welcoming. They clearly care about both their couples and the vendors who help bring events to life.
We had our wedding at Happy Apple last weekend and couldn’t have been happier with the venue or the owners! Sarah, her husband, and their employee Erica were just fantastic. So helpful and accommodating. The bar staff were also amazing. The venue itself is the perfect vibe- beautiful and rustic.
We just had our wedding here and it was an amazing experience! The staff was so nice and very helpful! They were so easy to talk to and communication lines were always open! We were planning on having an outdoor ceremony, but the weather decided not to cooperate. The staff was on top of it all and setting up inside.
Getting married at Out of Business
Out of Business comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
