This year is all about bright, joyful energy — a night that feels artistic, polished, and totally unforgettable, just like this wedding community!

As we continue to show our appreciation for our amazing Wedding Professionals here in Central Iowa, we can't wait to enjoy a night for us. This is your chance to get dressed up, not work, and enjoy yourself with others in the industry. Dress the theme or come as you wish, but black tie is recommended — it’s our night to get FANCY!
