Things are looking a little different here at the Saints Center. The vines were beautiful but unfortunately they also held excess moisture. This was causing damage to the masonry and door frame. Due to recommendations from the contractor, it was decided to remove them.

Attention local vendors! We are looking for vendors for events and weddings to see if we have enough traction to do a bridal fair of our own. Please tag your friends or local businesses if you think they will be interested. Anything from catering, hair and makeup, photography, entertainment, and even other venues. Please try and keep it local. Des Moines has lots of bridal shows of their own, so we are looking to cater to those brides that may be a little further West than Des Moines. July 21st is what we’re shooting for.
