Spacious and Delicious! — An Eventective User
Our company holiday party was a big success! The staff at the venue were professional and friendly. I would highly recommend them!
Wonderful venue — An Eventective User
About 100 people. Very roomy. Very affordable. Beautiful. Accommodating. Food is affordable and really good. Bridal suite is huge, especially according to other brides that saw it. All around great, affordable and highly recommended.
Great Place/Great food — An Eventective User
We had our Winter Party here and it was great! The food was great, the staff was very friendly and easy to work with. Everyone had a great time!
Fantastic wedding venue! — An Eventective User
We held our wedding reception and dance here in October 2021. Everything was superb. Carolyn goes above and beyond to help prior to the event and answer questions. The food was delicious. We had many compliments from our guests. This very spacious building had plenty of room for all guests. We decorated the day before with the ability to do pretty much what we wanted. We appreciated being able to rent linens directly from them so tables and chairs were already setup when we arrived. We are so glad we chose Izaak Walton for our wedding and will keep them in mind if we have any other large group events in the future.
Great venue! — An Eventective User from Ankeny
I would highly recommend using the Izaak Walton Event Center for weddings. Carolyn and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. This place is by far the best value for your money. The food was excellent. Everything was beautiful!
excellent customer service and food — An Eventective User from Urbandale, Iowa
I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married
Best reception venue! — An Eventective User from Des Moines
Carolyn was wonderful! We got a ton for our money, the food was delicious and plentiful, the venue was gorgeous and customizable, and the staff was excellent! My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that I wish Carolyn was a little quicker on responding. That being said, she's running that place darn near solo! I would recommend this venue to anyone and am still getting compliments from our guests.
