    From the moment we inquired about hosting our wedding at La Belle Vie Venue, the staff was incredibly responsive, respectful, and polite in all of our communications. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs, such as providing indoor parking to allow easy access for our elderly family members, made planning our special day a breeze. The venue itself is truly stunning and huge. It is unlike any other wedding space we have seen in Iowa. The family that owns La Belle Vie is flexible working with us to schedule multiple walkthroughs prior to the big day. Would recommend to everyone.

    We are so excited to have booked this venue for our wedding next year! From the moment we toured, we knew it was the right fit—it’s new, spacious, and has such a beautiful layout that will work perfectly for our celebration. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and well cared for, which instantly put us at ease. One of the best parts of this process has been working with the owner. They have been so kind, professional, and responsive, making the entire experience feel stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about the couples they work with, and that has made all the difference for us. We can’t wait to celebrate here and are so grateful to have found a venue that checks all the boxes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful space and an amazing team to work with!
