The Omar
Located in Omaha, Nebraska
Capacity: 450
Originally the Omar Bakery Building built in 1923, the Omar is a historic industrial space full of opportunity. Host both your wedding ceremony and reception all in one open space, with an opportunity for cocktail hour off the back upstairs patio. Industrial exposed brick + art deco style never looked so good together.
The Omar began as a Bakery built in 1923. Now, it is a gorgeous industrial space for ceremonies and receptions! My favorite parts of this venue is the gorgeous art deco style paired with the brick wall. This venue doesn’t disappoint!

The Barn at the Ackerhurst Dairy Farm, or The Omaha Barn, as it known as, was built in 1935 and was first an operating dairy farm! In 2015 it was purchased and transformed into a two story wedding venue with an outdoor ceremony space!

The Stables at Copper Ridge
Located in Denison, Iowa
Capacity: 560
Possibly one of my favorite venues ever, The Stables at Copper Ridge wedding venue is situated on 43 acres of rolling hills in western Iowa. Once an operating horse stable, this space was renovated into a wedding venue in 2016.
There’s a beautiful getting ready space with lots of light, but my favorite part – hands down – is all the beautiful space to take photos in outside!

Willow Creek Glass Chapel
Located in Shelby, Iowa
Capacity:300
This once farm has been in the same family for 6 generations. In 2002, the owners decided to turn it into a wedding venue built next to a creek. The chapel was built first, and the barn was then constructed out of other barns!
My favorite part of the Willow Creek Glass Chapel and Barn – other than the gorgeous walking trails and spaces to take photos – is the gorgeous chapel with entire walls full of windows! It’s such an amazing space. Its also so convenient to have a completely separate reception space so there’s no space flipping
