I worked closely with Phoebe (their event manager) throughout our wedding planning process, and she is incredible!! She was always willing to answer any questions I had and help in every way.

They went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot give them enough praise for all they did! I will forever be grateful for the Alta House and will never stop recommending them<3 Less

There is not enough words to describe how perfect this venue is. Phoebe helped with everything from planning to decorating to serving and having us for several meetings to get everything perfect. She has laid out documents and planners to make sure planning was done stress free. Rachel helped make sure the ceremony ran smoothly and the rest of the decor was laid out perfectly. Every single staff member was so kind and helpful. Our wedding day went so smoothly from the ceremony to dinner to the reception and it was the best day ever. Every room in the venue is so gorgeous and I love that there was a spot for the guys to get ready as well as a bridal suite. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was. Most of our decor came from the borrow closet which is a huge money/life saver. Most of our decor was set up when we got there we just added in some small personalizations. The bar was open to any requests we had and the bar staff was absolutely amazing as well. I will forever be so grateful for chose the Alta house. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Less

I (we) cannot recommend Alta House enough, for whatever your occasion may be. We got married on 11-3, and the year before that, Phoebe, the lead coordinator, was there to make sure everything was spoken for, and covered and answered any questions we had. We never once felt as though we were on our own. Everything regarding this venue and the people within it is so overwhelmingly positive that I don't even know where to begin. We found the venue last year and were sold the second we walked in for a tour. We met with Dana, the owner, and later Phoebe, the lead coordinator, and fell in love with the place even more because of how they care. Arguably they want your day to be even more seamless than you do! They both are so sweet and unbelievably kind. Over the year of planning, we met with Phoebe to discuss how we wanted things to look and flow. She provides designed/custom floor plan blueprints for you, and you also get an entire Google document to help fill in and organize guests, vendor info, bridal party info, and so forth. These are just some of the amazing tools you get with this Venue. Another is the borrow closet, which is FILLED with decor you can use to set up tables, background, etc., for FREE. You do not have to go out and buy a bunch of decor just to use it once. They have most of anything you may want. If you still buy stuff, they can take it off your hands afterward and donate it to the borrow closet. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Phoebe and the Alta House staff were (are) phenomenal. Phoebe is right there with you, making sure you and your party are fully taken care of. Being ours was a wedding, she was ensuring no stress fell on us or my wonderful wife. Phoebe is beyond amazing. As the day goes on from time slot to time slot, the transition of room setup is entirely seamless. Phoebe and the staff have the next thing ready to go before you even recognize it changed! For example, during our cocktail hour, they were re-organizing the patio for the reception and prepping upstairs for dinner, and the only reason we knew was because we planned it! Every single staff member is friendly and happy to help/serve you. They all want to see your day succeed and that energy is felt the second you arrive at the property. I could go on and on, but this review is long enough. Long story short, if you are thinking about booking here, DO IT. You will be so grateful you did. The experience they provide is beyond wonderful. Thank you, Dana, Phoebe, and the rest of the Alta House staff! We loved every second! Less

I knew Alta House was going to be a great venue to host our wedding when their owner personally called me at 9pm on a weeknight to make sure I had any and all the information I needed when I initially inquired about them. From there, that personalized service feeling just continued. Phoebe Adams, their venue coordinator was so helpful throughout the planning process, always ensuring I felt secure, content and happy with the decisions and setup we went with. She really made me feel like she was part of my family and wanted our day to turn out as great as she would have wanted her own! The week of the wedding, we had to make a decision to flip our space instead of using their outdoor patio for our ceremony and the Alta House team couldn't have made it go more smoothly. They took our ceremony space and flipped it into a beautiful reception space in roughly an hour and our guests kept raving about how amazing the reception space looked and how impressed they were with how fast they were able to make the vision all come to life. The venue has so much charm and is incredibly well kept, organized and was stunning on our big day! They have an abundant decor closet that we used pieces from and that takes alot of stress off the decorating side of things as their team handles setting it up and bringing your vision to life at no extra charge. I highly recommend Alta House to anyone looking for a venue or event under 200 people; their team is professional, organized and so genuine and kind. We will always remember how beautiful our special day was at Alta House! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Less

Alta House was hands down the best place I could’ve had my wedding.

Anything I needed they seemed to be right there to assist me with and didn’t need told twice to execute beautifully and smoothly. I loved that we got the venue Friday-Sunday, we had our rehearsal dinner on Friday, my bridal party stayed the night in their on-site accommodations, we were able to set up decor the night before and finish early in the morning, then we had the whole day for our wedding, and had a send off brunch on Sunday. We loved that we were able to have a sleepover with all of our best friends the night before our wedding, and that our guests could book the cabins within walking distance to make everything so easy. Loved the neutral decor, the many landscapes to take photos with, and the ease of planning the wedding was so so great. I’m thankful to have had the experience I did with them! Less

We were so flabbergasted that we set up an appt and were blown away with how pretty it was. It also suited about 85% of our needs. It has its own built in kitchen, studio apartment for getting ready, multiple large rooms for people to dance and talk in, a borrow closet full of decorations, plus an outdoor space that's beautiful. I loved the charm and convience. I wanted an outdoor wedding but you can't control the weather unfortunately and with Alta I knew I had space to do the wedding outside or inside. (Unfortunately it snowed on my wedding day and we had to make a quick change) I'm so happy we decided to go with Alta House. Between the building itself, Phoebe and the other coordinators and the package we got my husband and I had a fantastic day. The only real negative I encountered was that it was a little confusing for people to find. But once they got there Alta had it all :D Less

The Alta House was everything we needed and wanted for our special day. They allowed us to use their venue, decor, etc. and bring our own things to include our own special touches.

Now that life has settled down a bit - I just wanted to say THANK YOU x10000. I seriously couldn't have picked a better venue & better people.

It was the first venue we toured and the only venue! Not only is it incredibly unique on its own, but it also is the perfect venue for those who want to make the space customized to them. The hugely extensive client closet made decorating so easy and convenient! And the staff KNOW how to execute on a vision! Being able to have the full weekend all to ourselves was an absolute dream come true! Staying over the night before with my bridesmaids was like the ultimate sleepover! And the following evening, sitting out on the gorgeous patio deck with my new husband under the stars, just reflecting on the magic that was our wedding day was one of the highlights of our weekend! We cannot recommend Alta House, Phoebe, Jessie, and the whole staff, enough! Their kindness, organizational skills, professionalism, and HUGE hearts genuinely brought our wedding together in a way we never could have imagined! If you are looking for the perfect all-in-one venue, I can genuinely say look no further! Thank you, Alta House! ♥️ Less

Phoebe and Jessie rocked it.. you have rehearsal then they set up for cocktail hour. while you are moving to dinner they work hard to set downstairs up for the dance. I can't say enough how well everything went. If you are looking for a venue to make your day perfect this is it!! Both of you are so awesome and I've felt we have made new friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We will never forget this weekend!!! Denise Case #meanttobemorris Less

Last month we celebrated our daughter & son-in-law’s wedding at the Alta House. This is one amazing venue! We couldn’t believe our luck that we found a venue that checked off so many of our main worries. The 3 day package solved the problem of not having to decorate the same day as the wedding or cleaning up that night after the reception. Not having to find an alternative site for the rehearsal dinner was a plus. The use of the apartment for Friday/Saturday night as well as Carl’s Cabin. The shuttle bus for our guests to their hotels. The ice machine. I know that sounds silly but it’s really a plus! The use of all their great decorations. As well as it is such a beautiful venue and they have left nothing out to make it the perfect backdrop for your special day. Dana & Curtis have spared no expense and have thought of everything when building this venue. Phoebe & Jessie were phenomenal. They answered all of our questions the months leading up to the wedding as well as they were available to help the entire weekend. We couldn’t have pulled off the kids’ special day without all of their help. We truly appreciated them. We highly recommend the Alta House Event Center, you will NOT be disappointed. Less

Beautiful place to hold a small event. Great personal attention to detail.

We booked Alta House for their weekend wedding package and LOVED it. The bridal suite is beautiful and very practical- my girls and I slept and got ready at the venue, and during the ceremony we could keep gifts locked away in there.

The borrow closet is so well stocked, I could’ve gotten away with not buying any decor! Their shaded outdoor area with fans made the ceremony so much more comfortable and after the speeches guests flowed in and out comfortably. The staff are incredibly helpful and flexible, they truly went above and beyond (shout out to Phoebe and Jessie!). Less

Loved it! Service was great. The food was terrific and the prices were reasonable.

Our stay at Carl's Cabin was so fun and relaxing. My husband and I were gifted a stay for our birthdays by our children. We enjoyed disc golfing, fishing, and a night out at the movies. Carl's Cabin has everything you need - especially nice, cool air conditioning and a comfortable bed!... More

Alta House is the full package and more, literally! We found Alta House last year after visiting a few venues and feeling like we would never find “the one”. But once we walked through the doors of the huge Great Room, we just knew we had finally found it! We booked the full wedding weekend, which included overnight stays in Carl’s Cabin and the Bridal Salon on site so everything was convenient and in one place, especially nice since we’re from out of town. We were able to stay the night before and the morning after the wedding so we didn’t feel rushed after the reception to clean up and get out. The Alta staff worked with us from day 1 to make sure our day was exactly how we pictured it, including letting us borrow items from their “borrow closet”, setting up and tearing down everything for us, and even suggested some vendors when we struggled to find them. They stayed in thorough contact through the whole process and even afterwards to make sure we knew exactly what to expect the whole time. Their contract and pricing were clear and concise which made the booking process super easy! We got to watch the venue come together from the beginning and turn into the place fairytales are made of! We continue to get compliments about our wedding day even almost 4 months later because Alta House made it just that special. We love Alta House and appreciate them more than they know for making our dreams come true!! Less

Love how flexible it is to work with different sizes and changes possible to fit any need. I have never stopped raving about this place to anyone who will listen. Above all else the staff makes this beautiful venue even better. Thank you so much Alta House! Less

What a fantastic wedding venue destination. From the moment we booked the wedding venue for the weekend, we felt like the wonderful staff was family. They bent over backwards to ensure our wedding was just as we had wanted-romantic with lots of candelabras and candles. So much in fact that they installed a special system along the center beam and walls and they spent an entire day putting up tulle and lighting along the ceiling of their reception area. The facility is immaculately maintained and tastefully decorated. One exceptional aspect is that no matter what the weather does, your day will be perfect since they have both inside and outside areas. We chose to have our wedding outside under the beautiful pergola with louvers that can be adjusted based on the weather conditions. Our cocktail hour and reception was in doors but then we were back outside for the dance under the well lit pergola in many color options. The staff takes care of all the area transitions between the events of the night. We could not have wished for a better experience and staying for the weekend was such a relief allowing us to be under the same roof the entire weekend. Having casual time to decorate on Friday and then allowing our rehearsal dinner there was a stress reliever. Then, on Saturday morning we could do our final touches and get ready on site. Not having to worry about traveling from the location after the wedding was wonderful as we were all so tired. We casually finished packing up a little on Sunday morning and were well rested. Thank You Alta House-our wedding was perfect and you all had a huge part in making that happen. Less

If I could give a zero I would. The venue is just ok but you better not want to exercise your right to carry a firearm. Really makes me wonder about people who look at firearms as a threat and not protection. Update. Looks like the owner of this place is trying to blame everything on me. Typical.

If I could give a zero I would. The venue is just ok but you better not want to exercise your right to carry a firearm. Really makes me wonder about people who look at firearms as a threat and not protection. Update. Looks like the owner of this place is trying to blame everything on me. Typical. And it also looks like to go along with the overpriced and underdelivere venue that she will include a psychic analysis at free of charge. Lol. No I did not try to conceal my firearm due to the fact that iowa is an open carry state. But of course she doesn't know the law. Also I carry a fire arm not because of my family but to protect them. Seems like common sense to me. The owner is also trying to say that my review was because I was upset but in reality I left it because the place was just "ok". Nothing special except the amount of money it takes to rent it. Waaay to much. I wasn't impressed with her, her staff or the venue. nuff said. Less

Loved how the dance floor looked. Plenty of seating for those who didn’t want to dance. Also considering it was first part of July, so very hot/humid outside, but walking into the downstairs were the bar was, they had the air at a comfortable setting so people could come in and cool off for a bit. I also liked they had plenty of bathrooms for a big party. All the people working at the venue were all friendly and considerate. I didn’t catch anyone’s names. They also provided a shuttle to/from a hotel in town that guests were staying at. I would definitely recommend this even center to anyone in the area looking for a venue. Less

This venue is beautiful and amazing. They do such an awesome job for weddings.

This place is so impressive. They have an extensive "borrow closet" so say goodbye to spending ungodly amounts of money on decor. Oh, and feel free to decorate this place HOWEVER you want to. Only rule, don't damage anything. This is your blank canvas. On top of all of this, Phoebe and Jessie are amazing. Your contract says they aren't "wedding planners" or "day-of-coordinators", but these women went out of their way to make sure my day was perfect and everything was taken care of. Contacting my vendor when an issue raised its ugly head, and helping decorate with my wonderful family and friends. They were gracious when I didn't fill out their planner, didn't bat an eye, and took the time to pour over my details with me. Schedule a tour, and book this baby. Thank you Phoebe, Jessie, and Dana. From the bottom of my heart. Less
