Fine Dining, Events & Catering - All at The Finest Venue in Des Moines

A place built for gathering.

At The Meridian, events are meant to feel natural.  The room flows, the food arrives just when it should, and guests settle in like they’re exactly where they’re meant to be.We host weddings, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds with the kind of attention that comes from people who genuinely enjoy taking care of guests.

It’s good food, good service, and a space designed to bring people together.

WEDDINGS AND CELEBRATIONS, DONE RIGHT.

Wedding Receptions And Events

Some occasions deserve more than a typical event space.

The Meridian was built for weddings, receptions, and milestone celebrations where the details matter. Our team works closely with hosts to make sure the day runs smoothly while the space itself does what it was designed to do—bring people together.

You handle the moments. We’ll handle the rest.

The kitchen is at the heart of what we do.

Fine Dining

Food sets the tone for a great event, and we take that seriously.

Our chefs focus on ingredients that are in season, menus that feel thoughtful, and dishes that are meant to be enjoyed—not just photographed. Whether it’s a plated dinner or a table meant for sharing, we want guests leaving the table talking about the meal.

Because when the food is right, the whole night feels right.

From Our Kitchen  - To Your Venue.

On-Site Catering

Not every great event happens here—and that’s perfectly fine with us.

Our catering team brings Meridian’s food and hospitality to venues, homes, and gathering spaces throughout the region. The same kitchen, the same standards, and the same attention to detail—just wherever the celebration takes place.

Beginning Friday, September 4: 
Music at the Meridian

Starting this Friday, September 4th at 4:30 PM, we introduce live music performances at The Meridian, beginning with the Soul Searchers and jazz guitarist Willie Shay.

There will be delicious food options available for purchase each week along with beer, wine, mixed drinks and non-alcoholic beverages. (No outside food or drinks, please.)

Come on out, relax and connect with friends and neighbors as you enjoy live music with our beautiful pond as your backdrop. Seating is available on the patio, but feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets for sitting on the grass.

We look forward to seeing you!
