Creating Centuries of Memories...

Our venue is built upon memories that span more than one hundred years. As you enter our century-old barn, the craftsmanship weaves a rich story. From the hand-hewn pegged beams to the fieldstone walls crafted on site in the late 1800’s. We've made it our passion to allow this barn to continue being the center of memories made. Offering a unique space for any event, with a great location in the countryside just north of Ames.

"I 100000% recommend the Rustic Rose as a wedding venue! The staff are amazing and so sweet! They are all so helpful when things are confusing or if you need help with anything! They are one of the most reasonably priced venues we found when we were searching for a wedding venue. Susan and her amazing team were so kind and genuinely cared about our day as perfect as it can be! They work with you on payments and do not require you to cater dinner! i wish I could replay this day forever! They also let you use their items at a much cheaper cost than any other place we had looked at! If you are considering this venue, just do it! Best decision EVER!"
