Surety Hotel
A stunning modern hotel in downtown des moines
Surety Hotel from a photographer’s perspective…
I absolutely love everything about Surety hotel from a photography perspective. Boutique hotels such as Surety have an unlimited amount of unique and aesthetically pleasing vignettes for photos. I love the variety that comes with photographing at Surety without having to leave on transportation to several locations, making the flow and timeline of your day less stressful. I also love the idea that out of town guests can fly in, take a 10 minute uber and not have to leave the hotel the entire weekend if they don’t want to. The hotel has a restaurant, coffee bar and can facilitate your entire wedding day, making travel logistics extremely easy for your guests!

The Lobby
The lobby at Surety Hotel is a stylish haven of modern design, where every corner is wedding photo worthy! The lobby includes a marble fireplace for those cozy vibes, a lively pool table for some friendly competition, and a chic coffee bar that’s as photogenic as your latte art. The Surety Lobby ultimate hangout spot where style meets comfort and fun.
The Solarium
The Solarium at Surety Hotel has its gorgeous brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights that let the sunlight pour into the space. It’s the go-to spot for wedding ceremonies at Surety. If you’re hosting a smaller wedding the Solarium can transform during cocktail hour into a stunning reception area, where guests can enjoy dinner, hit the dance floor, and watch the sunset paint the room!
The Marchande Suite
If the Marchande Suite is available to book for your wedding weekend, I’d highly recommend it. The Marchande is a huge suite that offers plenty of room for large wedding parties to get their hair and make-up done. Also, the stylish Marchande Suite can serve as a quiet, private area of the couple to do first looks or portraits.
The Midland Room
The Midland Room, located on the second floor, is the perfect place to host a rehearsal dinner. The views of downtown are great and the space is very private for your guests. Surety can provide a private bar for your guests right outside of the room as well. I’ve also seen smaller weddings use this space for reception dinner and dancing!
