Venue Maps & Info

Greetings!

We thought it might be handy to have a few maps of the general area to show you where our wedding and reception will be. The physical address is: 7101 NW Polk City Drive, Polk City, IA 50226

Here are two maps to help you visualize where Polk City is (click to enlarge):

Here is a closer aerial of the actual site:

I've labeled a few key areas.

1) Parking
2) Bathrooms
3) Playground
4) Shelter - The shelter seats about 200 people and has two fireplaces. We should be set for any weather Mother Nature decides to throw at us!
5) Horseshoe pits
6) Ceremony site - This is just an open field where we will set up the ceremony site.
7) Sand volleyball court
8) Ball field

John and I both wanted our wedding to be a representation of us and how we like to live and have fun. This means playing in the sand and sun and just having a good time with friends and family. So please relax and enjoy yourselves!

Wear comfy clothes to play in. We will have supplies ready for kickball, horseshoes, sand volleyball and other outdoor games. If you're unsure, at least bring a change of clothes. We certainly plan on changing out of our wedding attire and into sporty clothes for some volleyball!

Welcome!

Hello! If you're here, that means you've received our Save the Date! This blog was created as a way to communicate details about the 'big day' to our guests. Here's what we know so far:

1) Date: Saturday, August 31, 2013
2) Location: Sandpiper Recreation Area in Polk City, Iowa (10 miles northwest of Des Moines)
3) Okay ... So maybe we just know the date and location at this point. We're working on the rest!

We will get hotel information posted soon. We will also settle on a time, but I would expect mid-afternoon.

Keep checking back for more info!
