Yes! Toast will have staff on site throughout your event to ensure everything related to the venue runs as smoothly as possible. Staff will handle all vendor and guest questions, ensure all spaces are kept clean and manage any other day-of emergencies that arise. Please note that we recommend hiring a dedicated event planner for large events. We are happy to provide references upon request.
Yes! Toast has plenty of parking for guests to leave vehicles overnight.
Absolutely! While Ankeny has many hotels to choose from, The Residence Inn by Marriott is a one-minute walk across the street from Toast.
While not required, we highly recommend hiring a coordinator for large events. Coordinators will help ensure the entire event runs smoothly and that you are able to truly enjoy it.
Toast has its own liquor license so we are able to serve hosted drinks or provide a cash bar that serves mixed drinks, craft beers and a large selection of wines. No outside alcohol is allowed.
We welcome all florists, event coordinators, decorators and photographers of your choosing to help create the event you’ve always dreamed of. All caterers must be licensed. We have an extensive list of caterers who are approved for our space that we would love to recommend. Any caterers who are not on the list must be approved two months before your event date.
We’d love to chat with you about hosting your event at Toast! Please reach out using the contact form or by giving us a call.
For most events serving alcohol, security personnel is required and will cost an additional $250. Toast also requires that you purchase your own event insurance policy for large events — a small investment that protects you in a number of situations. Wedsure, Wedsafe and Progressive offer affordable policies for event insurance.
Yes, please feel free to transform our space and make it your own! All decor that is brought in must be removed from the space by the end of the event. Rental items must be picked up by the end of your event or arranged for pick-up the following day.
No, we’ll handle that for you! We’ll have you provide us with your seating arrangement and our staff will have everything set up and ready for you.
Yes! All candles must be enclosed in glass, however, to abide by the fire code.
We understand the day of your event will be busy! In order to allow ample time for set-up, you will gain access to Toast starting at 9:00 a.m. on the day of your event. Depending on Toast's event schedule, access the day prior may be available.
