We knew within five minutes of walking in that this was the right venue for our wedding. The space was charming, full of personality (even cat art, which we loved), and perfect for our 120 guests. Mary was absolutely fantastic. She was responsive, more than helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the perfect wedding day. She worked closely with our caterer and helped with so much behind the scenes, including the setup, logistics, and bar service. Words don't do justice to just how incredible this place and the people who work here are. We highly, highly recommend this space for any special event!

There are lots of little touches here and there that are very unique and a nod to the past. I love the creaky wood floors and they've done an excellent job of keeping as much of the original architecture and building intact. You definitely feel like you're stepping into a bygone era. They had a full bar and very decent drink prices. I would definitely rent out this venue if I needed a space in the future.

It's very open and airy - with almost an industrial feel in the wooden beams and concrete floors. I attended/was a bridesmaid at a wedding here, and everything went off without a hitch. The dance floor is large, there's lot of space to walk around and mingle even if you're not dancing, and the bathrooms were nice and clean (which isn't the case at most big events). I could see this being a good option for a wedding, reunion, corporate event, or anything you might need a large event space/rental for.

For the wedding I attended the space was used very well. A Photo booth tucked in one corner, lots of space between the tables, and a good amount of room for dancing and stuff on the stage as well. The other side of the room had a buffet and a bar which was not cramped at all. Check out their Facebook page- this is likely an underrated event space that's not on everyone's radar due to location since it is off the beaten path but the lofted open ceilings and brick walls are so beautiful.

Thankfully the weather cooperated for a Nebraska April wedding. The fountain in the front of the main door was a lovely addition. Parking was good, but somewhat limited. Indoor, it had vibes of a quaint Italian village. The decor was set up to look like a little Italian spot, a vineyard, something along those lines. The curved staircase from the top to lower floors made the entrances dramatic. There was a great space to set up food and an open bar. The bartenders were fabulous. The table arrangement worked so well with the dance floor, I was impressed!

For my wedding day before I even got dressed they set up and decorated the entire reception hall. I had leftover flowers they arranged and set out that really completed the space.

Cannot recommend this place enough.

I'll be honest, the barn was GORGEOUS! The service and experience with the coordinator however, was…read morehorrific. I would not recommend this place solely based off of the experience we had at the reception. The bartenders had bad attitudes. The coordinator, Bonnie, was so rude to my family when we had questions about what was included the bar package that was purchased. We also had an issue with items being stolen from the grooms barn. It was our understanding that it was going to be locked during the duration of the reception and it was not. I understand she had a lot on her plate but the attitude of her and her staff really put a damper on the ending of the evening. After speaking with a friend about our experience it came to my attention that they had similar issues with Bonnie during a wedding she attended two weeks prior. I expect a warm and inviting staff who are willing the make the evening special not a staff that makes you feel uncomfortable like you're an inconvenience to them. Again, this place is great for photos but not much more than that.

My favorite part was the 'speakeasy hallway', which is dimly lit in green with a lot of comfy couches to rest on after a long night of dancing. Parking wasn't too hard to find.

Would recommend especially those passionate for history, designing, and architecture.

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 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.
