Vintage Ballroom is a unique ballroom wedding venue located in Omaha, Nebraska, and it is available for ceremonies and receptions on Fridays and Saturdays. Located in the historic Old Market, the Ballroom was initially built as a loading dock for the Bemis brothers bag company in 1887 and now features on the national register of historic places. Used during the week for ballroom dance lessons, this architecturally beautiful space is ready to be transformed to create the wedding of your dreams.

Facilities and Capacity

Vintage Ballroom, with its industrial features, is a venue full of natural character suitable for ceremonies and receptions of up to 180 people. The venue provides a location full of charm, which is perfect for couples looking for a rustic barn feel within the city limits. The open, loft-like space features original hardwood floors, large vintage wooden pillars, exposed brick, and designer feature walls. Along the east wall of the Ballroom is a mezzanine area that can be used for additional seating, as a lounge area, or for a band. The venue features a full-size bar with cocktail tables and bar stools available. The bar is set up with a four-tap keg dispenser and a 48-bottle wine chiller that is ready for use. A private bridal suite is available for pre-wedding preparations. We know how important pets (fur children) are, and if your best man walks on four legs...that's fine by us, as we allow pets inside the facility by request.

Vintage Ballroom is available for ceremonies and receptions on Fridays and Saturdays. Their rates include nearly everything you need to host a wedding ceremony and reception, including setup and teardown, clean up, tables and chairs to accommodate up to 180 guests, a head table, guest book table, gift table, buffet table, cake table, and a choice of ivory or black table linens. ​The use of their table centerpieces is also included. Venue rental includes the use of the microphone and house speakers for speeches and announcements, as well as customized lighting throughout the Ballroom.

November Wedding

General Positives:
1. Great lighting.
2. Will "flip" the venue for you if you are doing the reception and ceremony in one place.
3. Lots of spots to take cute photos
4. Unbeatable price
5. No restrictions on a catering company to use, you just cannot prepare food at the venue.
6. Centerpieces, chairs, tables and (black or white) table linens provided

Our personal experience:
Rebekah was easy to work with and very accommodating. We had a final guest count of about 110 and it was comfortable in the space.

It is definitely worth it to choose Rebekah as the "day-of" coordinator. Here are some many things she did to save the day. Our caterer was late and she alerted me and started handling setting up the napkins even though it was the caterer's job. I had pew bows but forgot about them and she set them up. We had an arch but it was bare and she decorated it for us with beautiful greenery. She coordinated getting champagne glasses out to parents etc for the toasts (I had not organized that at all and she took the initiative).

I would 100% suggest using her security and bartender. Her staff was friendly and the services weren't overpriced.

We also opted for her staff to clean up and it was such a stress reliever.

We were also able to leave our gifts and leftover food overnight. (Probably not available for Friday evening weddings but I am not sure)

The following are also general rules that are neither pros or cons for us but might be dealbreakers for other couples.

1. Must provide your own alcohol (even a caterer cannot provide and serve it)
2. Max capacity is 200 and I think it would have felt cramped with that many people.
3. No candles (but her lighting is awesome and she can achieve the candlelight look)
4. If you are having a Saturday wedding, you may not be able to use the space on Friday for the rehearsal unless you rent it.

Finally, I wanted to say that every guest was impressed with the style and service at our wedding. I will probably book more (non wedding) parties with them in the future. Vintage is the best choice we made for our wedding day

Highly Recommend

The vintage ballroom was a very affordable wedding venue for a DIY type wedding, but still provides great accommodations such as tables/chairs/bartenders/DJ.

Rebekah was incredibly responsive and quickly answered questions throughout the entire process. As Covid-19 restrictions changed, she proactively reached out to let us know how they affected us and how we could still have the wedding we hoped for.

Rebekah as a day of coordinator made the actual wedding day stress-free and easy. She took the vision of decor and exceeded all our expectations for set up as well as coordinated with our vendors and guests throughout the evening.

The BEST Venue ❤️

Having our wedding reception at the Vintage Ballroom was the best decision we made! Rebekah, the ballroom owner, was absolutely amazing to work with! She promptly answered all questions, always called back, and checked in throughout the process. We also hired her as our day of coordinator, it was worth every penny and then some! Rebekah did all of the decorating (oh my goodness it was better than I could have imagined), she ran out to get things we forgot, she checked up on us throughout our event, and she made sure everything was running smooth with all vendors! The bartenders/security hired through the ballroom was amazing as well! They were attentive to all of our needs and made our reception fun for all!
The Vintage Ballroom has amazing perks, the big one is no alcohol/catering company restrictions, but the best perk is getting to work with Rebekah and her staff!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
