Intimate Gatherings, Timeless Surroundings

Host your next unforgettable occasion at Proudfoot & Bird, where every detail reflects a touch of history and refined elegance. 

Celebrate life’s special milestones in an intimate and elegant setting. Host your wedding rehearsal dinner, engagement party, anniversary, or retirement gathering in our main dining room, where warm ambiance and exceptional cuisine set the tone.

For smaller gatherings, Proudfoot & Bird offers two semi-private dining spaces within our main dining room. Ideal for intimate celebrations and business dinners, these elegant spaces accommodate 8 to 10 guests and provide the perfect balance of privacy and the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. These spaces create a memorable setting for meaningful conversations and exceptional dining. 

For larger or fully private events, our beautifully appointed Reading Room offers an elegant setting. This exclusive private event space provides a more secluded atmosphere while maintaining convenient access to the restaurant, making it ideal for rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, family celebrations, and other special occasions.

Treat your guests to a thoughtfully crafted four-course prix fixe menu featuring seasonal ingredients, chef-driven dishes, and expertly selected wine pairings from our sommelier. Whether you're entertaining clients, recognizing your team, or celebrating a milestone, Proudfoot & Bird delivers a memorable private dining experience in the heart of downtown Des Moines.

Reserve your dinner by December 30, 2026, and receive:

• One complimentary bottle of Hotel Fort Des Moines Private Label Cabernet Sauvignon
• One complimentary bottle of Hotel Fort Des Moines Private Label Chardonnay
• Double Hilton Honors Planner Points
