A historical venue where you can begin your future

Old Capitol Museum is a historical venue in the heart of Iowa City, IA, ideal for hosting wedding ceremonies and receptions. The building served as the state of Iowa's first capitol and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Midwest. After surviving multiple additions, renovations, and a major fire, the Old Capitol Museum is now a National Historic Landmark and a part of the University of Iowa campus. While taking pride in its ability to honor its history, this site provides space and a dreamy atmosphere for nearlyweds beginning their future together. The sweeping staircases and stately elegance of the historic Old Capitol make the ideal backdrop for a picture-perfect wedding. The historic Senate Chamber on the second floor is ideal for private functions and intimate gatherings. The wooden Corinthian columns in the second-floor rotunda area are among the only original pieces of woodwork that remain in the building, adding to the romantic atmosphere of the site. Additionally, the Old Capitol Museum offers wedding options to suit every unique need. Pop-up weddings are ideal for small gatherings with all of the glamour and none of the fuss. Full ceremonies are also available, giving couples the most time and access possible, with all the staff and equipment perks included.
