Two air conditioned barns, one rustic and one glass enclosed, along with a dressing/prep area for both men and women make the accommodations top notch. Throw in a kitchen area, inside and outside bar service, a concrete wrap around patio and a ceremony pergola complete with pond and picturesque setting and you understand why this venue is booking events two years out! The owners, Rhonda and Brian, have assembled a staff that anticipates your every need. Trash is constantly taken out, restrooms are freshened and reset, food service vendors are assisted as needed and everything is taken care of seamlessly allowing guests and family to enjoy their celebration with no stress or drama. The grounds are immaculate, the parking is plentiful and the venue space will take your breath away. A portable microphone was provided for the ceremony and a large scale projector and sound system was also available. The red cedar tables are too beautiful to cover with table cloths so we just did a table runner, candles and eucalyptus. Nice, sturdy white chairs line the tables and are a step above what you usually find at most venues. The size of the venue allows a number of options for table arrangements. I was amazed at the quick and efficient clean up after our event. I went to collect table decorations and the staff had already packed items for easy transport home. Each and every staff member is first class and they work as a team to make sure every detail is covered. Sparks Barn is located half way between Lincoln and Omaha outside of Louisville, Nebraska.

I highly recommend Sparks Barn for your next event. It is a hidden gem just minutes from Omaha…read more My daughter wanted a rustic chic Sweet 16th Birthday and this was the perfect venue in the perfect country setting! Rhonda Sparks is so nice to work with and she will make sure your event is spectacular. There is a beautiful view of the lake and the rolling countryside. Inside the barn has been completely refinished with beautiful polished wood, twinkling lights & an amazing sound system. Outside there is plenty of parking, a big patio for dancing and even a fire pit. And yet the hourly rental fee was very reasonably priced! No matter what your event, Sparks Barn and the Sparks family will make everything perfect for your big day!

I've been a photographer at 2 weddings here over the last year. One had about 80 guests, the other…read morearound 200. I must say they do a great job with backdrops for the head table and first dance. My only note is that the group that was around 200, was still not at capacity and walking around in the room was a total nightmare. I could barely get around as the photographer, and the guests were dealing with the same. The round tables were cramped as well. I would highly suggest less than 150 people in this venue if you want to be able to move at all! Overall though, great experience. Never met anyone besides servers that worked there, no wedding planner or anything, which worked out but would have been good to have a contact person with the venue incase something was needed as the photographer.

It gives off the modern barn style that is super trendy right now. They had a room for the wedding party to get ready and it was pretty small but still served its purpose. I do like the fact that both the ceremony and the reception were right across from each other so it made it super easy.

I attended an event here (Boomer Radio Sock Hop). The place is very nice. Parking lot would be…read moresuitable for most events, I think, but since there were A LOT of people at this event we weren't able to find a space in the lot. I really liked that there were two separate spaces on this floor, so there was a room where people were dancing to loud music, and another room that was quiet, spacious, and well-lit where people could eat and have conversations. I really appreciated that and it definitely added to my enjoyment of the event. The room where we ate was rather plain (still really nice). The other room was unique and beautiful, and has a patio. A downside is that there is a separate event space downstairs, and if something loud is going on down there you might hear it (and feel the floor vibrate). So that could be really problematic for some events. I also have a complaint about the bathroom. It is quite narrow and cramped. The ladies' room has 5 stalls, which honestly is not enough for a large event, especially since there are only a couple sinks and not a space for a larger mirror. Also - a HUGE peeve of mine - the doors of most of the stalls hang in a closed position, so to see if they are occupied you have to bend over to check if feet are there, in this very narrow space. It's not cool at all, and it's really annoying because the latches are designed in such a way that with a small amount of extra thought put in, they could indicate if the stall is occupied or empty. The building overall has been renovated so nicely and someone really dropped the ball on this aspect. It is a really lovely space, the event was enjoyable. I DEFINITELY appreciated not having to yell to have a conversation; this makes the venue a great place and accessible to groups that include guests who don't want to spend an entire event in a loud room.
