This place is amazing!!!

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Farnam. The whole experience, including the planning, was immaculate. Sarah is extremely professional and detail-oriented. I honestly can't say enough about this place. I'm not much of a writer, so I'll do this via a list.

1. The food: Holy moly! I knew the food would be amazing, but it was still impressive. All food is cooked in-house. We had a cocktail hour with Hors d'oeuvres, a plated dinner, and late-night snacks. Everything tasted fantastic. We had multiple people tell us the next day that this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. My groomsmen were cleaning off the head table's plates because it was so good.
2. Dedication to the couple: They had a private room for my wife and I to relax while people were enjoying the cocktail hour. They were kind enough to have some Hors d'oeuvres and our specialty cocktails waiting for us. They also had a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for us in our suite after the wedding.
3. Ease of planning: Sarah was always quick to respond. We had multiple planning meetings with her. We had a food tasting at Farnam, which was fantastic. We also had a blast working with their bartender when creating our specialty cocktails. We were able to plan a reception of ~140 people without a dedicated wedding planner. We couldn't have done that without Sarah. Also, a special shout-out to Hope for being so helpful and detail-oriented.
4. The hotel itself: The entire hotel is beautiful. The rooms themselves were impressive. With all the stress and emotions of a wedding, it was wonderful having such a comfortable room.

In summary, if you skip this place, you're making a mistake.

Sarah is the best!

We are so glad that we went with the Farnam for our wedding! They were so organized, professional, and extremely accommodating. Sarah was a dream to work with! She was always one step ahead of me and helped me know what I needed to do next. The actual day of the wedding went so smoothly! If there were any little small things that we forgot, everyone was very quick to get it figured out. My husband and I cannot recommend The Farnam enough!!!

Wonderful wedding weekend of events at The Farnam!

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with much kindness, superior attentiveness and professionalism! EVERYONE and I mean everyone at this hotel was top notch! Planning the events with Brooke and Sarah Wynn was outstanding! The attention to detail to have everything just perfect was amazing! When we arrived Derek our valet/greeter was loading 12 suitcases, serving champagne, and helping to check us in- we felt very welcomed quickly! Hope our banquet organizer set up the ballroom with much expertise and perfection! Everything from food, drink, service, desserts, and clean up was outstanding!! It went exactly as planned- flawless and WONDERFUL!!! I can't thank you enough! The welcome reception in The Catalyst was enjoyed by all!! The bartenders, servers and attendants were SO awesome!! I had so many people approach me to say how wonderful everything was! A great time was had by all!! Thank you everyone who had a part in this celebration- the party was incredible! (Sorry I cannot remember everyone's names) The breakfast brunches were delivered on time to both bride & groom suites- and were very delicious! The boxed lunches were a great addition for a snack on the bridal party's limo- all enjoyed the sandwiches, fruit and chips and much needed water!!
The hotel rooms were spectacular and every front desk attendant and all valet/ luggage attendants -there was nothing that they would not offer to help with. Always so kind and generous! I have never had a hotel be so attentive to every small detail like they did! OUTSTANDING JOB BY EVERYONE!!!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience at the Farnum!! WE all would highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering a celebration/party or wedding here!!! Can't wait to return!!

Wedding Reception

Everyone at The Farnam was professional, friendly, welcoming, and beyond helpful--Especially Sarah Wynn. She helped us plan every detail of the day and really took charge when it came to coordinating with vendors. leading up to the day, I didn't feel that any detail was left out. The day of, all members of the team were so helpful in getting everything set up and handled every conflict calmly and with efficiency. The day was beyond what I could have imagined and it wouldn't have been without everyone at the farnam--from the bellhop, to Sarah the incredible coordinator, to the desk staff handing champagne on check in, to the chauffeur who escorted us around Omaha for photos. They were all amazing people to work with and treated us so special.

A stunning wedding venue

We booked the Farnam for both our wedding ceremony and reception - in summary the attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and "all inclusiveness" were elements that really made the Farnam a special vendor. They went beyond what the average venue does and demonstrated the best form of hospitality, they made sure we had everything needed to have a carefree evening, they were very responsive to any concerns that arose. My husband and I continually said to each other that we were so happy with our event and with choosing the Farnam. Plus we LOVED the Christmas lights at Gene Leahy across the street!

Couldn’t Have Been Better

Being 100% honest, we don’t have one single complaint, big or small, about this place. They were professional yet very reassuring. The food is amazing. The staff, especially Sarah and Hope, are quick to make sure that your questions are answers, your requests are fulfilled and they really do care about the details and make it their mission to make the event unforgettable, unique and special. You definitely get your moneys worth here. We are already planning on going back for our anniversary in a year.

Excellent Venue

The team at The Farnam is top notch, we could not have imagined a more accommodating venue. All of the employees were beyond welcoming to of our guests. The banquet team and Sarah made sure that everything went exactly to plan during the day. Working with Sarah throughout the planning process was so wonderful - she was there to assist with everything every step of the way. We are still continuing to get compliments for The Farnam from our guests!

Amazing Wedding, Highly Recommend!

We had our wedding this year on May 18th at The Farnam. Prior to the wedding we had stayed at The Farnam and absolutely loved the hotel and its aesthetic. We met with Sarah, one of the managers there, and felt instantly at ease with how organized she was. She went over all the details and options for their weddings and gave us a tour of the property. The design/building speaks for itself, but its the people that worked there that really made us decide that this would be our wedding Venue. During the planning process we met with several other people including their chef, bar manager, bartenders, and others like Steven, Irv, and Hope. Everything about our wedding turned out perfect, and we cannot recommend The Farnam enough. We are so happy to have a hotel to come back to on a regular basis, to relive all of our great memories from the day of our wedding. We would highly recommend having your wedding at this hotel, and dealing with all the wonderful people there. Kuddos to everyone involved in the planning process, but especially Sarah, Hope, Steven, and Irv. Thank you for all your help, and we hope others have the pleasure in dealing with that team during their wedding planning process. If you plan to have your wedding in downtown Omaha, The Farnam should be on the top of your list.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
