The Farnam, Autograph Collection Reviews

The Farnam is a fantastic choice for your wedding venue. Sarah Wynn and Sam Taggart were so helpful through the whole process.

The price is phenomenal for the value of the Farnam experience. The service was amazing and everyone was very kind. The suite we stayed out was exceptional! Sarah left a bottle of champagne and macrons for my now husband and I for when we showed up. I loved that little detail.

Sam and Sarah had to deal with my constant questions and pestering but they handled everything with quickness, grace and comfort.

Sarah helped plan everything for our wedding day. Food tasting was an awesome experience, picking out a napkin fold, going over scheduling, coordinating between vendors, offering candles and other wedding items so I didn’t have to rent or buy things. I mean everything was amazing.

I wish I had more photos of the venue but I’m writing this before the pictures are done. It’s a beautiful space and makes quite the statement. We loved the balcony with a view to downtown and the Riverfront. We got some awesome photos out there.

Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to get married downtown. You can’t find anything better.

The Staff at the Farnam are true professionals who went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend special. They provided a level of customer service that exceeded our expectations. From the doorman, front desk, bartenders wait staff and cleaning crew everyone was friendly and helpful! Sarah the event coordinator is experienced, kind and organized. The food was delicious and well presented. The venue is beautiful and provided a perfect backdrop for our reception. The farewell brunch was the perfect wrap up to the weekend! We couldn't have chosen a better place to host our guests. Heartfelt Thank You to Sarah and Staff!

The Farnam Hotel was the PERFECT venue for us. While we’ve been living in Omaha for a while, our families and friends are spread across the county. Finding a venue that would be welcoming to everyone was one of our top priorities.

With that said, the support and customer service from everyone at the Farnam was nothing short of excellent. Everyone from Sarah & Blake on the events team, to Derik the valet, to Irv and Abby on the service team, and everyone in between. They catered to everyone needs, us, our families, and our guests, all throughout the weekend. Several of our guests said we had spoiled them with such a wonderful hotel and venue, but it was truly the Farnam team. No doubt they have a true passion for hospitality.

The food and drinks, simply put, were delicious. The dinner tasting with the Chef was fantastic, and we had a blast with Blake crafting a signature cocktail.

The greatest benefits being at the Farnam had to be the sense that we had full access throughout the day, and felt that we were the top priority. We were not given strict start & stop times. We had private access to the beautiful Catalyst lounge for our first look and private vows. We were also allowed to use additional conference rooms for vendor space and a “decompression/chill room” during the hectic cocktail hour. They even supported our unique guest activity. Overall, we found there to be a perfect balance between easy decisions (required to cater food & drink through the hotel & restaurant) and customization (layout of the room for dinner and the ceremony, decor, and timeline).

We can only hope we’re invited to a future wedding at the Farnam so we can experience it again!

From the very first moment we walked into the Farnam, without an appointment on a busy Saturday night, to look at the Ballroom, their customer-centric attitude and attention do detail was outstanding. Everyone involved with our event was friendly, attentive and professional. The food was exceptional. They are not inexpensive, but absolutely worth every penny.

I really don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was to have our wedding at The Farnam. I was an out of town bride and booked our reception after doing a hard hat tour in Spring of 2021 and seeing the planned renderings. I have to be honest - I was already biased because I am in the industry and trusted that it would turn out beautiful, but when we finally had the chance to come in and see the hotel completed 9 months later, we were absolutely blown away. With this gorgeous space came even better service! I worked with a couple of different people during the planning process (this is normal for this industry, by the way!) and every single one of my notes and details were perfectly passed along. Because I've been in the industry and this wasn't my first experience with weddings, they had their work cut out for them having to work with me - LOL! Darby and her Event Staff (Abby, Irv, etc) were exceptional. You could not have guessed that we planned this whole wedding from 500 miles away! The food was top-notch, the drinks were amazing, and the hotel itself is so stunning that I didn't feel the need to overcomplicate the decor and event styling. Half of our guests were from out of town, so it was incredibly convenient to have accommodations and the event in the same building. Everyone enjoyed all of the outlets such as the Catalyst bar and Dynamite during the wedding weekend. Again, their staff was so attentive, accommodating, and absolutely lovely to work with. They worked with my other wedding vendors so well, something that you don't necessarily think about when putting together your team. Trust me when I say having your wedding here is worth every single penny. My friends and family still talk about our weekend and how fabulous it was being at the Farnam. Thank you to every single person who helped bring our dream day to life!

The Farnam was the PERFECT place to stay for our wedding weekend. The entire hotel was beyond accommodating and made it feel like home for us and all of our guests. We reserved one of each of their suites as well as normal King and Queen rooms and all exceeded our expectations! The beauty of the hotel is also unmatched - perfect for wedding photos!

Sarah, one of the managers at the Farnam, made the planning process a breeze and was one of the most delightful persons to work with.

The day after our wedding, they hosted a brunch for our guests and the service and food was excellent.

Thank you to the Farnam and Sarah for making our special weekend even more special! Definitely our favorite hotel in Omaha!
