If you've heard about marriage equality in Iowa and have been thinking about traveling here to get married, we invite you to consider Decorah, Iowa.

Our town is a beautiful and unique place.  We've got a vibrant and historic downtown, a stunning courthouse, a luxury hotel and B&Bs, incredible local food, great wine, a couple of dive bars, and gorgeous hiking and cycling trails.

We've checked out each vendor on this site to make your planning easier.   Each of the businesses included here welcomes gay and lesbian couples seeking to marry.  If you come here to get married, please drop me a line about your experience. We want to know what worked and what didn't. 

Welcome in Decorah was a winner in the 2010 Winneshiek County Biz Booster contest which recognizes entrepreneurial efforts in our county. We are thrilled about the support of our community for the website.

Decorah is in the bluff country of Northeast Iowa, a little under three hours from the Twin Cities and five hours from Chicago.  Come check us out for your Iowa gay wedding—you are welcome in Decorah.

Please note: July 22-24 is Nordic Fest in Decorah.  This is the busiest weekend of the year in our town.
