Lilac Hill 

5.0

Louisville, NE
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Lilac Hill is a family owned 80 acre property in Louisville, NE, about 25 minutes from Omaha and 45 minutes from Lincoln. The original founders of Lilac Hill, Don and Bev Maxon, bought this old run down property in the 80's and set out to create their own arboretum. There are dozens of old growth trees, hundreds of blue spruce, and thousands of flowering shrubs and plants, which provide beautiful color and depth everywhere you go. The space combines elements of BoHo, Rustic, Elegant, and Industrial in a romantic natural landscape. So many of our guests comment that they don't feel like they're in Nebraska anymore! The property is enclosed by trees, providing a feeling of seclusion and exclusivity where your guests can hang out under our 100' tall cottonwood trees and smell the lilac scented breezes. With seating inside for up to 300 guests, our space can accommodate nearly all party sizes. Come visit soon for a tour!

We are so happy we chose Lilac Hill to have our wedding ceremony and reception at. The property is beautiful, with so many different sites available to have the ceremony at (we chose in front of the old barn). Chris, the owner, was so easy to work with and very responsive. We were really happy with the pricing as well, and all the things included in the packages they offer. They also have lots of decor available to use for free! On our wedding day, everything went perfectly, and a big part of that was because of the help from Chris and Winter. We also really loved the bartenders that worked our wedding! If you’re looking to have a rustic/barn wedding, we truly can’t recommend Lilac Hill enough. You’ll be so happy you did!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I photographed a wedding at the WaConDa Woods & Gardens and I was blown away with every aspect of the venue and how the day unfolded! The getting-ready suite had plenty of room for the girls to get ready, lots of natural light for photos, and even the personal touch of chalk art on the wall. As a photographer, I greatly appreciated the variety of options for photo backdrops around their grounds. The barn where the reception was held was elegant and simple- the perfect backdrop to be decorated to suit your wedding vision! The staff was friendly and helpful all through the day as well. Highly recommend, and I hope to shoot there again soon!

Leo Ballroom 

4.5

Omaha, NE
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

An enchanting piece of Omaha history recently restored to its original 1924 prestige. The historic ballroom features stunning craftsmanship, glamourous chandeliers, and a seemingly unattainable atmosphere. This venue can host corporate and social events up to 350 guests and 500 cocktail style. Join us for an experience with our fully functioning stage, cocktail area, alluring foyer, and photo-ready balconies.

The Leo Ballroom was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception and provided a memorable setting for our special day. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice, though there were a few areas for improvement. Overall Impression: The Leo Ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. The updates to the main ballroom have elevated its elegance, and the speak-easy style bar with its rich wood details adds a classic touch. Initially, we weren’t considering this venue, but after seeing it in person, we were captivated and decided to book immediately. Size and Layout: The size and layout were well-suited to our needs. We had over 280 guests, and the space comfortably accommodated up to about 320. The layout worked well, with a separate bar room that allowed guests to move freely while still feeling connected to the main reception area. The temporary setup of buffet tables in the bar room for dinner was also effective. Decor and Ambiance: We appreciated the venue's ambiance, from the luxurious marble entryways to the electronically locked bridal party suites, which offered privacy and security. The venue was very clean, and there were numerous excellent spots for photos. Service and Staff: The staff were generally professional and helpful. Access to the venue the day before for setup was a significant advantage. Our wedding coordinator, Dahlia, did a good job overall, though we encountered a few minor issues, including some confusion about the champagne wall, issues with signature drink ingredients, and some discrepancies with the floor plan and guest counts. While these were resolved, it required additional effort. Catering and Facilities: We chose Attitude on Food, one of the venue’s preferred caterers, and the food was delicious and served hot. The facilities supported a smooth dining experience, though there was room for improvement in terms of overall coordination. Standout Features: The stage was ideal for our band, the Downtown Collective, and the private bridal party suites were a fantastic feature. Designing our signature cocktails—a blackberry-infused bourbon mule and a strawberry twist on a French 75—added a personal touch, and the bar kept them flowing throughout the night. Overall Experience: The Leo Ballroom provided a stunning backdrop for our wedding reception with its elegant design and accommodating facilities. Despite some minor issues and room for improvement, the venue's charm and functionality made our day special. We recommend the Leo Ballroom for anyone seeking an elegant and versatile venue for their event. Thank you to the Leo Ballroom team for contributing to our unforgettable wedding day!

When we arrived at Castle Unicorn for the first time, the two of us look at each other and knew this would be our venue. Castle Unicorn is the first and only palace we look at for our weeding… if you are wondering the answer is YES, Castle Unicorn is that beautiful! The day of our weeding the place looked absolutely beautiful, just like a place taken out of a fairy tale, everything was perfect and in place, this in turn allowed us to just enjoy our big day, this a testimony of the staff actually listening to us and materializing all our likes and needs in the decoration and atmosphere. The set-up of the whole place was detailed and immaculate, just stunning, and the service stellar, impeccable from the way the staff dressed to the way they catered and serviced our guests, impressive, remarkable… just incredible. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Most of our guests said that this was the most beautiful wedding they have attended in their lives. This in large was due to John and Ray, the owners, and their staff at Castle Unicorn, that provide us with tons of useful advice and at the same time were open to our ideas. This truly was the wedding we always dream of; I could not imagine us getting married anywhere else. Castle Unicorn and their staff really made our wedding the most beautiful wedding ever! They are the best! If you are planning a wedding or just thinking about getting married, pay them a visit, you will be glad you did, I can guarantee it!

At Front Porch Vineyards you can enjoy your special day surrounded by beautiful grape vines, a 35 acre lake and beautiful countryside. The site includes a unique grain bin bar, an outdoor covered pavilion, acres to roam and play, the romantic corn crib cottage (honeymoon suite), and a large home to accommodate the bridal party (complete with a claw foot tub!) This venue is ideal for small weddings up to 110 people in a rural setting.

This place is amazing I highly recommend!!! We were the first to have our wedding reception at Front Porch Vineyards after Lea and Brad purchased the vineyard. They helped us out so much. They had great communication with us and we’re very personable. Lea and Brad set up the exact way we wanted. Then also helped us out at the bar after our bar services could not make it. They made sure that everything went the way we wanted it to. They truly listened to what we wanted and gave us a beautiful reception. The icing on the cake was how beautiful this place is. We booked the whole place out and don’t regret any of it. If I could go back in time and do it again the only thing I would change would have booked the air b&b’s for a few more days! They will forever have my business and all my friends and family’s business as well.
