Try to imagine having the luxury of arriving on a Friday, unpacking your bags in the beautiful Bridal Salon apartment, and your partner doing the same in the Carl's Cabin. Saturday morning, wake up and prepare for the day ahead. Have a quiet cup of coffee in the garden. Maybe you need to finish some last-minute decorating or manage vendors from the comfort of the Bridal Salon.
Imagine soft greens, cream, and touches of blush and pinks coming together to create a stunning natural look for this sweet couple's special day. From the chandeliers to the centerpieces, every detail was thoughtfully decorated. When we first met our bride, Sidney, she was handing us her wedding weekend agenda.
We booked them before everything was finished (the patio area, sound system, lighting, etc.), and we were delighted that everything was finished on time and turned out even better than we imagined. Jill and Phoebe went above and beyond before our day and during, and were so supportive and creative and an absolute joy to work with.
In general, these are our most frequently asked questions. We suggest you email us stating you are ready to book your preferred date and then include a backup date in case your preferred date is unavailable. Prior to booking a date, we hope you can come out in person to visit Alta House. You can request a tour (or a Zoom tour if you live out of the area) by filling out our Tour Request Form.
Alta House is a newly built property located just 30 minutes East of Des Moines on the edge of Newton, IA. Dana and Curtis VanGilder renovated the entire property to provide a unique, intimate venue for families to meet, relax and celebrate any occasion. The name Alta House stems from owner Dana VanGilder's Grandma Alta Nelson.
