“My husband and I got married on New Year’s Day and we got very lucky to not only get sun/a beautiful sunset, but also snow!”

From the reviews
Iris Aisle is a literal dream. When we first toured we instantly knew from the moment we drove up that this would be the place we said “I do.” Raelyn and Earl are some of the nicest people we have ever met, and we knew right away that what they have created at Iris Aisle is something magical.
I have had several brides use Iris Aisle as their wedding venue, and it is always an amazing experience. The property itself is breathtaking & unique, its own little Iowa Oasis. Beyond the stunning aesthetic, the owners are very hands-on and helpful.
We wanted a simple wedding without the fuss and hassle of what a wedding usually brings. We also wanted it short and sweet, so we chose the elopement package. The price and what it included was unmatched and very affordable. The venue fit our dream perfectly and we couldn't have picked a better location!
The most magical elopement! We stayed a couple of days in both the couples cabin and the A-frame, and had our ceremony in the greenhouse. Every inch of the property feels like it was curated for romance and enchantment. A place where time slows down.
Getting married at Iris Aisle
Iris Aisle comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Iris Aisle
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Iris Aisle — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
