Great customer service, close to Des Moines, freedom to use vendors of your choice, set up, tear down, security, cleaning and bartenders are included. Best of all, your photos will be amazing whether your wedding is inside or outside because this Iowa wedding barn was created from the perspective of a photographer.

We can not say enough great things about Red Acre Barn! Everything was professional from start to finish and beautiful! Sherry was always so prompt to answer any questions I had and I appreciate her wedding advice and skills. I know a few friends who are now interested in having their wedding at the barn as well and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a romantic barn in the Central, Iowa location!

A MUST book! The venue is gorgeous, and a prime location close to west Des Moines. Sherry is the BEST to work with, and made sure everything goes as planned. Plus she takes some great photos! You will not regret your big day at the Red Acre Barn ☺️

We had a great time at our September wedding! Sherry was very helpful with all of our questions, and she even recommended some great vendors for us. We were able to view the space multiple times, so we felt ready on our wedding day. The grounds have great places for pictures too! Thanks for all the great memories!

Aside from the obvious of how incredibly gorgeous the venue is as well as the surrounding area, the owner Sherri was so great to work with. She answered all my questions clearly and in a timely manner. She set clear rules/expectations up front which made the whole process smooth. Their website is super informative and answers a ton of helpful questions. This has got to be one of the prettiest venues I have seen, and we toured a lot in the Des Moines area. It has a great romantic, rustic feel and is super roomy. I wish I could get married here again. We did not have issues with rescheduling due

The Red Acre Barn is such a beautiful wedding venue. I recently photographed a wedding here and the place was gorgeous inside and out, the staff were super friendly, and the entire day went so smoothly. The paved path to the outdoor ceremony location is SO NICE to have and there are beautiful views all around. Can't wait to photograph another wedding here.
