About
On WeddingWire since 2021
The Village Events presents The Village & The Village Farm -- two wedding venues located in downtown Kearney and just outside of Gibbon, Nebraska, respectively. Both of these event centers are designed for couples to experience a luxurious and all-inclusive weekend of festivities as opposed to a “one day rush”. Offering comprehensive packages and two breathtaking historic properties, these venues are ideal settings for dreamy celebrations of every style and size.
Facilities and Capacity
Originally built in 1940, The Village sits in the heart of Kearney in a restored and renovated community hall. This charming building is rich in history and can accommodate up to 300 guests in its spacious interior. The banquet hall features exposed beams, some of which are charred from a 1940 fire, brick walls, a sparkling chandelier, and wood ceiling tresses. String market lighting is also draped from steel beams to lend the room a romantic ambiance. The space comes with a fully equipped prep kitchen, ADA accessible and unisex bathrooms, and a baby changing station. Upstairs, a get-ready suite includes two queen beds, a kitchenette, a shower, a washing machine and dryer, and numerous mirrors and outlets. For soon-to-be-newlyweds who prefer an outdoor and barn setting for their wedding, The Village Farm is available on the outskirts of nearby Gibbon. Nestled next to the Wood River, this 10-acre farmstead welcomes visitors to its custom-built, 100x100-foot pergola, multiple outdoor ceremony sites, and vintage barn. This classic red pavilion was constructed in 1911 and boasts cement flooring, beams that crisscross the ceiling, an elegant crystal chandelier, and a built-in bar. A farmhouse is situated close by for getting ready with the wedding party and socializing with friends and family.

In April of 2019, with some answered prayer and a leap of faith, Alissa bought what was once a run-down building. After months of hard work (did you know that Alissa made the magnificent chandelier hanging in the middle of the banquet hall??) and hours of toil and passion, the doors to The Village opened; Alissa juggles all the pieces it takes to run a business. Along with the support and help of her family, Alissa continues to build The Village and The Farm to serve the community, bring people together, and help create lasting memories.
Farm lover, passion chaser, and driven, Sarah serves as the Event and Venue Manager with The Village and Farm. Originally from a small town in Nebraska, this gal fell in love with the community, small town feel, and overall charm of Kearney. Feeling a longing and a purpose for gathering people together, Sarah joined Alissa in the event venue world; she prays that with every event hosted at The Village and The Farm, those that occupy the space will feel loved, cherished, and enjoy the life they have been given together.
Behind the scenes, Melissa shines as our Office Coordinator. She and her family live in Kearney and have established their lives amongst the community. Melissa strives to work hard in whatever she does and do her best to bring happiness to those she comes in contact with. She works full time at The Village and Farm and brings so much value to the team! Melissa loves meeting new people and hopes that every encounter she has at The Village echoes her desire to bring community and joy to those around her.
