From the reviews

I would highly recommend this place for a wedding! Al was so great to work with and extremely accommodating. We had such a fabulous experience, and everyone commented on how nice and smooth our event went.

★★★★★ — Valyn, Jul 2018

This venue was so great for hosting a bridal shower, we used just the first floor room and there was plenty of space. The owner offers many packages for weddings and bachelorette weekends. A great rustic look, if you need a space to host anything I highly recommend it

★★★★★ — Katie, Jun 2018

Amazing wedding and event venue right on the Main Street of a thriving scenic Iowa small town. Close the many excellent bars and restaurants. The service here is amazing as are the beauty and cleanliness of the facility.

★★★★★ — Frank, Apr 2022

Al the owner is the absolute best! I think my fiance and I loved him as much as we loved the venue, and let me tell you we were over the moon with the venue! The historic building is spectacular, with modern updates that are classy and timeless.

Getting married at PALMER HOUSE STABLE weddings + all life's events

PALMER HOUSE STABLE weddings + all life's events 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.
