Sherwood Forest Event Center is Des Moines' boutique wedding venue for couples who want their wedding designed, not just hosted. Nestled in Windsor Heights, our industrial-chic space features soaring ceilings, cascading chandeliers, a built-in stage, a stunning 32-foot full-service bar, ceremony and reception space, and a bridal and groom suite, all under one roof and included in your experience.
What sets us apart is our in-house design team, Loved + Cherished Décor. We work directly with each couple to bring their vision to life, drawing from our exclusive decor collection, one-of-a-kind vintage, modern and curated pieces no other Des Moines venue offers. No outside rental vendors needed, no coordination headaches. Just a cohesive, beautiful wedding that looks and feels entirely yours.
Our team, Dory and Sandy, are mentioned by first name in review after review. Couples don't just book our space; they trust our people. That trust is what we've built this venue around.
Sherwood Forest seats up to 250 guests and is available for ceremonies, receptions, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events. Be sure to book a private tour to really see why our space is so special and how we can bring your wedding dreams to life.
Catering & Bar:
Your wedding menu should be as personal as the rest of your day, which is why Sherwood Forest Event Center welcomes the caterer of your choice. We maintain an open catering policy, giving you the freedom to work with any licensed, insured catering team in the Des Moines area.
What we provide: our full-service 32-foot bar, staffed by our own bartenders, with options ranging from a champagne toast to a fully open premium bar, all handled in-house so you never have to coordinate a separate bar vendor.
