Does anyone have any suggestions for affordable rehersal dinner locations in West Des Moines? We are wanting somewhere within 5 miles around the Jordan Creek Mall area as thats where our guests will be staying. We need a space that will seat around 50 people. Ideally, it would be nice to bring in our own catered food but we are also open to a "restaurant" setting.
Thanks! Smile

    It's a little further than 5 miles, but not much. The Clive aquatics center, you can bring your own food and it will seat up to 100!

    We are using the Radish in Grimes.  AMAZING food.  $20 per person for a buffet.  SO GREAT!

    Check with the hotels you have reserved.  A lot of them have banquet rooms you can reserve, and some will let you bring your own food in.

    We used Felix & Oscars at 50th and Westown Parkway. We used their food but I think we were allowed to bring in a dessert if we wanted. It was very well priced!
    Our wedding was actually at the Raccoon River Nature Lodge - but it's available for rent for anyone for anything. That would you have complete freedom to bring in whoever for catering.

    Thanks for your suggestions! We are leaning toward Biagi's or the Machine Shed. I think it will be easier to have it in a restaurant setting so we wont habe to worry aboout set up and cleanup.

    If you're still looking for a place, Granite City Brewery or Rock Bottom Brewery are both nice, and you can choose a few items and create your own menus for your guests to choose from.
