Testimonials

  • A beautiful wedding celebration at Northbridge, a Des Moines wedding venue known for kindness, flexibility, and above-and-beyond service. The team stepped in to help with last-minute details—like picking up the groom’s cake

    My son and daughter in-law had their wedding this weekend. It was a beautiful venue! They are so kind, accommodating, and go beyond to make the day even more special! We had an issue with communication in which the grooms cake didn't get picked up. They offered, picked it up, and brought it back to the venue for us! It was so appreciated! We would all highly recommend hosting any event you may have at Northbridge, you will not regret it!

  • Des Moines event venue hosting a Father-Daughter Banquet with exceptional service, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, and an affordable price—perfect for nonprofit events and special celebrations.

    This place is the best! We used it for our Father Daughter Banquet and let me tell you - the staff is super professional, they had everything we needed and they even stayed afterward and helped us clean up. (Had never seen that before) If you are looking for an event location - this place is new, has a great vibe and layout and was so beautiful. Plus their outside space is really cool as well. Oh, and the best part, this place doesn't break the bank - it was very affordable for our non-profit event.

  • Outdoor wedding at Northbridge Event Center

    Where to begin!! From the first meeting my husband and I had with Northbridge, we felt nothing but cared for and supported. The team, especially Lylian, worked tirelessly to help make our wedding the best day of our lives. The venue is beautiful, clean, and the perfect space to host a wedding! We especially loved the covered porch, pond for our ceremony, and the beautiful bridal suites. Northbridge is truly a hidden gem in central Iowa if you are looking for a private space that is still close to the metro!
