Sixteen Oaks

Sixteen Oaks is a versatile event venue in Fontanelle, Iowa, set on a 40-acre family farm near the eastern edge of town. The venue welcomes organisers planning weddings, corporate events, reunions, parties and other important celebrations, offering a relaxed countryside setting with modern facilities.

The main event space is climate controlled and can accommodate up to 400 guests. Its design combines contemporary comfort with the character of a traditional barn, including salvaged elements from the original agricultural buildings. This gives planners a distinctive setting that can be styled for formal receptions, family celebrations, business gatherings or more informal occasions.

Weddings are a key part of the venue’s offering. Couples can arrange ceremonies outdoors, including a hilltop location with views across the surrounding landscape and Iowa sunsets. The grounds also include a vineyard, walnut grove and natural amphitheatre, creating a range of attractive backdrops for photographs and outdoor moments. An indoor ceremony option is available as a weather backup.

Sixteen Oaks operates as an open-vendor venue, allowing organisers to select caterers and other suppliers that suit their plans. A commercial kitchen is available for approved caterers, while the venue’s licensed bar includes bartender service and can be tailored with customised drinks or signature cocktails. The property also provides preparation space for the bride when an on-site wedding ceremony is booked.

With its flexible layout, scenic grounds and helpful vendor guidance, Sixteen Oaks gives event organisers the freedom to create a celebration that reflects their own requirements.
