Where Des Moines Celebrates: Modern-Luxe Wedding Venue + In-House Catering
Bash is a modern-luxe event venue in downtown Des Moines, designed for weddings, corporate gatherings, and celebrations that deserve more than a blank room and a long to-do list. With a refined multi-level space, in-house catering and bar service, and a hands-on planning team, Bash makes hosting feel effortless and intentional.
About Us
Bash was built around a simple idea: hosting should feel exciting, not overwhelming. What started as a small, hands-on operation quickly became something more. As events came through the doors, it became clear that people were not just looking for a venue. They were looking for guidance, clarity, and a team that actually cared about how the day felt for everyone in the room.
Today, Bash is a full-service event venue offering a thoughtfully designed space, in-house catering and bar service, and a planning team that stays involved from start to finish. We focus on what truly matters: smooth flow, great food, clear communication, and an experience that feels personal rather than transactional.
Our approach is practical and people-first. We solve problems early, plan thoroughly, and stay present on event day so you can stay in the moment. The goal is simple. When your event is over, it should feel like nothing was missed and nothing more was needed. Bash is proud to host weddings, corporate events, and celebrations of all kinds in downtown Des Moines, creating spaces where guests feel welcomed and hosts feel supported.
Everything You Need, In One Place
Event Venue
Bash offers a modern, multi-level event space designed for gatherings that need both style and structure. The layout allows events to unfold naturally, from ceremony to dinner to dancing, without flipping rooms or breaking momentum.
Our venue rental includes tables, chairs, linens, basic audio-visual support, bar staffing, setup, teardown, and on-site coordination. A dedicated event assistant is included to help guide planning and support day-of needs, ensuring the experience stays smooth for you and your guests.
Whether you are hosting a wedding, corporate event, or private celebration, the space is intentionally flexible while remaining polished and cohesive. You get the freedom to personalize without the stress of managing every detail.
Catering
Bash offers in-house catering prepared from scratch, designed to balance elevated flavors with crowd-pleasing favorites. Our menus are built for efficiency, consistency, and quality, allowing service to feel seamless and well-timed throughout your event.
Buffet-style service is our most popular option, offering a curated dining experience while keeping the evening moving smoothly. Our culinary and event teams work together closely, ensuring food service aligns with the overall flow of the night.
For clients with specific needs or cultural considerations, Bash may allow the use of an outside caterer with prior approval. All outside catering must meet Bash’s service standards and coordination requirements to ensure the experience remains cohesive for you and your guests.
