Request Information

Rare opportunity to acquire an established, operating event business in eastern Iowa, offered turnkey with a forward calendar of booked events, transferable contracts, recognized branding & the inventory needed to operate from day 1. The venue is fully built out, the reputation is established & future events are already on the calendar.

The business operates from a purpose-built 34 x 70, 2-story event barn featuring a classic round-top design & a clear, unobstructed upper level with seating for up to 250 guests, plus space for 50 additional guests outdoors. Large doors open at both ends, while 2 walkout decks overlook the grounds. Amenities include sound systems on both levels, a flat-screen for photos & video, 3 indoor restrooms, a caterer's kitchen & a chair lift to the upper level. A separate heated & air-conditioned building offers a private bridal suite, groom's lounge with bar, break area & kids' area.

Situated on 2.3 beautifully maintained acres framed by mature maple trees, the property also features a 2-level patio, firepit & 18-foot grain-bin gazebo. Ceremonies, receptions & photos can all take place in 1 location. Parking accommodates approximately 80 vehicles with convenient front-door drop-off.

Also included is a 2,288-square-foot ranch home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an updated kitchen, newer HVAC, a 2022 roof & an oversized 2-car garage. The home offers flexible use as on-site owner housing, wedding-party lodging, a primary residence or an additional income opportunity on non-event nights.

Established, well maintained & thoughtfully equipped, this turnkey venue offers a proven operating history, booked calendar & room for continued growth.
