We would love to see our family and friends dressed up with us. The dress code is cocktail attire. A suit or dress shirt with a tie is suggested. Any dress or dressy separates are also welcome. Please no jeans!

A shuttle will be offered from the Botanical Garden to Secret Admirer, the after party bar. Secret Admirer is conveniently located within a short walking distance from the Surety Hotel. Additionally there is plenty of parking available at the Botanical Garden and ride share services are available in Des Moines. Vehicle parking is allowed overnight at the Botanical Garden as well, they just ask that vehicles are moved by 9am the following morning.

We have so many friends and family traveling to celebrate with us from all over the world. We know we won’t want the party to stop. We have reserved a bar, Secret Admirer, to keep the party going until bar close. Please feel free to stop by after the reception and enjoy a drink with us. Head home or back to your hotel whenever you are ready.
