How we became one of the top
iowa barn wedding venues
iowa barn wedding venues
We didn’t originally plan to build a wedding & event venue but here we are with one of the top Iowa Barn Wedding Venues! We have been blessed by everyone who helped bring this idea to life and by the 100’s of events we have been able to host over the first few years!
We have a team of part-time bartenders who have been with us from the start. They consider this their “fun” job and do a great job taking care of our guests!
We believe it's important you understand how we came to work with couples who have chosen us to host their wedding. we host weddings and celebrations because we love sharing the Lodge with couples who love it too.
We are a family and staff that genuinely cares about you and the details of your big day. As a venue that consistently earns glowing reviews, we make it a point to go above and beyond. We understand we only get one shot on your wedding day and the trust you put in us to do our very best. Therefore we don't treat your day as "just another event" but as a special day for a special couple.
THE TEAM
I have been working in the event industry since 2015, I have worked many positions and have gained unforgettable experience. I attended the University of Houston where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Event Management in 2022.
After graduating from college my family and I decided to move to Adel, Iowa where my mom was born and raised. I now live here with my husband, George who I have been with since 2018 and married to since 2024.
Owning a venue was something I always strived for but was certain it would never be possible. My parents' and I were presented with the opportunity to purchase Country Lane Lodge with the sale being finalized in August of 2024. We are so grateful for the adventure we have began and are so excited to help clients plan their dream event.
I retired from the Army after 22 years of active duty. After retiring from the Army I decided to move back to the Midwest to be closer to family. I am married and have 4 children and we enjoy doing just about anything outdoors especially hiking or mountain biking. As the property manager I get to set up the building and outside use areas in different configurations each week. I love to see people enjoying the areas that I set up for them.
