A Letter from the Owner
Close your eyes and think for a second about one of your best moments. The day you met the love of your life, being with your family for the holidays, or a simple afternoon you spend with family and friends.
Feel that? That glimmer inside of you, that makes your heart glow? It’s amazing to be human and have these moments accessible to us when we need them, and honestly the most valuable thing in life.
That’s where the name Little Lights comes from. The “little moments” that end up being the “big moments” and knowing how very fleeting and rare they really are. We built this beautiful space for these very moments. We hope you get to be intentional, slow down time and fill your heart with a little light!
~Erin
Why Little Lights on the Lane?
Little Lights was built with intention. From the design of the building, your cocktail hour overlooking the beautiful rolling hills, high-pitched ceilings, little nooks & seating areas to the simple decor that will match any theme.
We have hand-crafted this modern, Scandinavian-inspired wedding venue to provide an exceptional wedding experience. When comparing design & service, Little Lights on the Lane is one of the best wedding venues in Iowa.
It started as a dream for our Owner, Erin back when she was just a kid. After years of wedding research, visiting venues, working with planners, and studying Scandinavian buildings and atmospheres, Little Lights on the Lane was born.
That dream has grown immensely and the venue + team continue to grow, as do our offerings for your day. Our team has worked over 1000+ weddings and it’s a palpable difference. Although we have a Pinterest worthy venue, our team cares about you and your day and that stands out even more.
We hope that you get the chance to visit Little Lights. Whether it’s as a couple, a family, or as a guest for an event- please take a moment for yourself when you visit. ♡
