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.

This place was fantastic! I couldn't recommend them more. My daughter got married last weekend here…read more& it's was beautiful. They were super easy to work with, affordable, kind, caring, & always attentive. Unlike most venues they have no requirements for vendors. So you can control your costs easier. The decor room is massive & you can grab anything you need to fill a spot you missed or to decorate the entire space. I would 100% recommend to everyone & I would choose them again if I plan another barn wedding. Thank you Heartland Country Barn for the gorgeous space & helping my daughter have her dream wedding!

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.

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.

The OM rental Hall was a fantastic venue to host my husband's recent surprise 60th birthday party…read more It was clean and nicely laid out. It has a small kitchen area to set up food and a great set up for a DJ. The rental comes with quite a few tables and chairs and these were set up for us by Andrew the manager. Andrew is extremely nice and easy to work with. I planned this party from California and he was quick to respond to my calls, texts, and emails. The price is quite reasonable and when I realized it would take more time to set up than I intended, Andrew altered the contract and game me more time. It is in a nice location on Howard street in the Old market. We couldn't have been happier with the facility and of course, Andrew, who really helped in making this an evening we will never forget!

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.

Depending upon your event, there are a couple of areas to choose from, and the outdoor space is simply beautiful. What made this review a 3 instead of a 5 is two things: 1) Parking. It's on-street and not plentiful near the venue. When I attended, I did a terrible thing (because I got so frustrated with driving around the blocks for parking); I parked on the sidewalk. Not the best choice, I admit. Now I know to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of any event there. 2) The chairs. HORRIBLE. I attended a theatrical production as part of the Great Plains Theatre Conference. Including announcements, the production lasted 90 minutes--90 excruciating minutes. To make sure it wasn't just my reaction, I looked around. What I discovered was an audience of so many people moving, bending, adjusting, and re-adjusting in their seats. It's as if the owners of 40th Street said, "What are the cheapest, most uncomfortable chairs on the planet? Yep! Let's buy those!!" If you attend an event here in which you will be sitting for longer than 20 minutes, bring a seat cushion with you. If you've read some of my other reviews, you'll note that I'm unforgiving when it comes to uncomfortable seating. This venue had the worst by far. The owners should eat their own dog food and sit in those chairs for at least half an hour just to experience what their guests are experiencing. That said, if you're looking for a place to hold an event--and you want something out of the ordinary and memorable--I recommend 40th Street Theatre. If you're a business and want a get away event where your employees can have some nosh and network, I think it's great for that. Standing, chatting, mixing, mingling--40th Street Theatre hits a home run for that.

We attended a wedding here recently and wanted to give a little feedback…read more The space is beautiful, the staff was professional and friendly, and the location is ideal. But the room is so loud that you can't hear the other people speak at your own table. The space is like a warehouse and any noise just bounces off the walls, ceiling, and floor. Carpet would help with this, but even noise-reducing panels on the ceiling would be so helpful. They could even be white to blend in with the ceiling. The sound may not be a problem with a smaller crowd, but my husband and I are still talking about how damn loud it was inside the building. Thank goodness the weather was perfect that evening because the only respite we had from the noise was the outdoor area.

After looking at 10+ barns, Wishing Hills Barn stood out far beyond any of the other options within 50 miles. I was very impressed at how well the staff worked with our other vendors. They always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. I would also note that they did not have any hidden fees. They were very upfront and I always felt that they were honest about their prices. The co-owners were professional, but also friendly. They listened and always made me feel heard and supported. There are 2 things I would note though. First, the acoustics in the barn are not ideal (especially if you have 200+ guests like we did). This might be something your DJ or band can address, but should be taken into consideration. Second, minus the first few rows, the venue prefers to use benches instead of chairs outside for your guests. If you have an older crowd this may not be comfortable or convenient for them. All-in-all, I have no regrets. My wedding was everything I hoped for and more. I truly believe this venue was a big part of that.
