The Conrad Mansion, specifically the Carriage House, really impressed. Coming from the perspective of one who plans and decorates spaces such as these, I was blown away. Jeff has the most incredible attention to detail. They are incredibly organized and know just what to do. Their operation truly is a well oiled machine. It was very refreshing to deal with such a level of professionalism! 10/10 recommend!

The carriage house fit our needs perfectly for our Harvest Supper fundraiser. Jeff & Kim worked with us to create a wonderful space that helped all of the guests feel special. They also opened up the Mansion for our guests to take a tour which was frosting on the cake. The whole evening went very well and we can't thank Jeff & Kim enough for their hospitality.

The carriage house is simply beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the space is. Just when you think you have seen all the beauty of the place you find a new spot. There are so many options for amazing pictures. Thank you Conrad Mansion for having such a hidden gem in Central Iowa.
