Wedding Rental Packages at Forte Downtown Des Moines
As couples who postponed their 2020 weddings due to the pandemic begin to search out dates and rebook for 2022, it can be hard to find the best Des Moines event venues and caterers for wedding receptions before they are all gone. Forte Event Center in downtown Des Moines is excited to hit the ground running with couples looking to book their 2022 weddings.
About Forte Wedding Ceremonies & Receptions
Forte has been a favorite Des Moines wedding venue for years; the space offers a private patio, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, proximity to all of the downtown Des Moines hotels, and is near to every urban wedding photo-opp location a couple could dream.
The aesthetic of Forte is likened to a classic Grand Ballroom wedding venue. Tall ceilings and ornate wooden architecture provide a timeless appeal with the ability for couples to make the space their own through decorations of their choice.
