    Our wedding venue experience

    The Fountains Ballroom was our absolute dream wedding venue! Blaine and Macy were so amazing to work with, they did everything they could to make our day beyond perfect and run smoothly. Not only was the venue gorgeous and the girls were amazing to work with but one of our favorite parts was that they have everything there. The flowers, the decorations, and the DJ (who is a blast btw-definitely would recommend getting Brandon as part of your package). We will forever recommend The Fountains to everyone!

    The Fountains Ballroom

    Blaine and Macy made our wedding day nothing less than perfect! I’d recommend The Fountains Ballroom to anyone. Our day was easy going and stress free! The venue is beautiful, the communication and organization were outstanding, and everything was tailored towards my husband and I! Amazing venue and amazing team!

    Seamless experience

    The Fountains Ballroom is the best place to have a wedding in the Omaha/CB metro area hands down! The views, the staff, the options, they make sure you’re taken care of and don’t miss anything! Blaine is amazing at what she does- and is always up to date with the latest wedding trends and can help you make your vision come to life!

    The fountains ballroom venue

    I truly can’t recommend Blaine and The fountains ballroom for your wedding venue more! My day would never have gone as smoothly as it did without them! I said from day one that I’m not a planner and I’m truly terrible at having a vision. Blaine at Fountains was the perfect choice because they offer almost everything within the venue! Dj, bar package, catering, and design/florals! This literally saved me! I gave them a lot of creative freedom with florals and it turned out better than I could have EVER imagined. They had day of coordination and told me exactly where to be and when which was so helpful in the height of all my nerves! Not to mention, the venue is BEAUTIFUL and provides so many good photo ops! They definitely went above and beyond for us in MANY different ways and we are forever grateful for everything they did!

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    My husband and I couldn’t thank Blaine and her team enough! From the planning meetings, to the day of coordinating, they made our wedding day absolutely perfect! We are so thankful we got to enjoy our wedding day with friends and family, rather than worry about decorating and little details. Blaine made all of our wedding day wishes come true! The venue is stunning and the experience was amazing!

    A dream venue!

    The Fountains Ballroom absolutely made our wedding day the most special and memorable day I could have asked for! Blaine and her team handled everything from our florals, to centerpieces, decor & so much more! I had a vision for our day and was sending Blaine pictures of my dream bouquet/centerpieces, etc. and she knocked it completely out of the park!! Not to mention we had day of coordinators that were able to make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. Absolutely the full package and the most gorgeous venue on top of all of it! The second we stepped foot in the venue for the first time we knew that’s where we had to get married. The scenery speaks for itself, it’s close to Omaha/Council Bluffs so location was perfect, and it was easy to add/take things away from our wedding package leading up to the day! Overall 12/10, you absolutely will not be disappointed booking with Blaine and the girls at the Fountains!

    Best Day Ever

    Having our wedding day at the Fountains was the best decision we have ever made. They took care of everything for us and did incredible. We didn't have to worry about anything- we just had to show up and they handled the rest! They handled all of our decor and went all out and it made it that much more special! It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives and it wouldn't have been possible without the Fountains!!

    Best wedding venue in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area!

    If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue close to the Omaha/Council Bluffs area, this is it! We fell in love with the Fountains Ballroom from the minute we toured the venue. Blaine was so incredible to work with and she helped bring our wedding vision to life. She is very communicative/responsive, flexible and patient with our millions of questions and requests we had :) Macy, our wedding day coordinator was also incredible and helped everything run so smoothly on our wedding day. Every aspect of the venue is gorgeous - from the bridal and groomsmen suites, the ceremony site and the reception area. We got so many compliments from our guests regarding how incredible the venue was! We cannot recommend The Fountains Ballroom enough as your wedding venue!

    A true dream come true

    Blaine and her entire staff truly helped make my daughter and son-in-law's wedding day a DREAM COME TRUE!! From the very first meeting until even after the wedding, they were always happy to answer any questions, offer advise, help keep us calm the day of the wedding, and just so very helpful and kind! We brought in a few personal items (pictures, signs, etc) but left the rest up to Blaine and the girls and it was seamless! The venue is SO BEAUTIFUL inside and out and if I could give them 100 stars, I would! Thank you all SO VERY MUCH!

    The entire team at The Fountains were AMAZING!! Hands down our wedding was perfect because of them! Blaine, Madison and Maryssa have a keen eye for detail and made everything absolutely perfect!

When we had questions on hiring other vendors or needed support along the way, Blaine was honest, open and always willing to help. As a December bride, she reassured all my fears and kept me as calm as possible along the way. They were very accommodating for all of our needs and we could not Thank them enough! The details and decor options are pristine!! Thank you to the entire team at Fountains we could not thank you enough!!! If you are looking for the ENTIRE package and the best possible experience go with Blaine and the Fountains!

    A Dream Come True

    An absolute DREAM!! My husband and I just got married at Fountains last month and we could not have loved it more. From the beginning of the process to the end - we were listened to, communicated with, catered to, and felt all the love. Blaine and her team are INCREDIBLE! Blaine saw our vision plus added her own amazing visionary talent to create a literal dream of a wedding. The best day ever. The space, inside and out, is pure beauty! I'm trying to convince my husband to renew our vows every year and of course at the one and only Fountains Ballroom because it was that wonderful!!

    An absolute DREAM

    We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at The Fountains Ballroom! They helped make our wedding an absolute DREAM come true!!! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s the people who made it all possible and so easy. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were available to answer any questions, bounce ideas off of, and made it essentially stress free. I utilized their in-house floral & design as well which I would HIGHLY recommend! All I had to do was show them my Pinterest board, talk about budget, and they made it come to life :) not to mention that they set it all up and took it down themselves so you’re not scrambling to get it done or having to stay late to clean up! I felt like I could truly just enjoy my day and soak it all in without having to worry about the details; they took care of it all. My family and I will talk about this day forever and how fun/beautiful it was, thanks to The Fountains 🤍 I had the best experience and can’t say thank you enough!! If you book your wedding here, I promise you will not regret it!!

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    Best wedding venue! We had our wedding at The Fountains this past May and it was perfect! We changed our wedding venue 6 months before our wedding date and couldn't have made a better decision than to book with The Fountains Ballroom! Blaine was so dependable and helpful in every aspect of our planning; from design, to florals, to a caterer, she was amazing! She has a keen eye for detail, is well-organized, and helped us every step of the way. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and our guests couldn't stop talking about what a beautiful venue The Fountains was. Some of our family also rented the air b and b that is on site and it was perfect for them to be so close to the venue! It was very spacious and our family loved it! The venue is very clean, and the outdoor ceremony space is absolutely gorgeous! The bridal and groom suites were the icing on the cake! They are beautiful, classy and were very spacious for all of us to get ready in the morning of our wedding! Our wedding weekend was perfect and all thanks to the staff at The Fountains!

    Phenomenal Service

    I had to change my wedding venue 10 days before the date and Blaine from The Fountains Ballroom was so accommodating. The outside area for the ceremony was beautiful with plenty of greenery for photographs. The indoor reception was just as nice. The bride and groom suites were large and the aesthetic was perfect for the getting ready photographs. The workers made sure that everything was perfect.

    Vendor Review - By Far the Best Venue!

    Venue: Fountains Ballroom: Ceremony & Reception- If you want your Pinterest wedding that you have been dreaming about since you were little – this is the place. The Fountains Ballroom is grand, magical and so elegant. It was able to accommodate our larger wedding guest list. All of the hard work that has gone into updating the venue shows and it is a must see for all looking at getting married soon.

    Wedding Coordinator, Florist, Decorator, Therapist: Blaine Muhle – Where do I start! Blaine is beyond amazing at what she does. She is so talented at taking an image and making it come alive. All she asked was for a few Pinterest photos to create all our floral for the wedding. She takes into account all the small details you ask for and goes above and beyond what we asked for. Her creative mind and unique abilities will make your dream wedding come true. She is caring and will even drink a glass of wine with you to calm all your wedding nerves. Her professionalism from the very beginning of booking with the Fountains Ballroom to the day of the wedding is going to take her far in this career. Known this girl since preschool and her talent will blow me away forever on how talented she is! You will not regret going with the Fountains Ballroom just to have Blaine being there right by your side the entire time!

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful The Fountains Ballroom was at making our day absolutely MAGICAL! First, Blaine, our day wouldn't went off with a bang without her being there every step of the way! She is the most kind, talented, and caring person ever, and went above and beyond to make everything a dream come true! Her creative mind, and unique ideas brought our dreams to life. She is truly meant for this profession, and most importantly she makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door and every step of the way. Second, the venue was perfect. All of the new amazing updates that have been made since the new ownership, make it absolutely beautiful for any style of wedding! The bridal & groom suites are gorgeous, along with that beautiful staircase! The outside venue is a perfect setting, and very well taken care of. Third, we hired our amazing DJ, Brandon, through the Fountains Ballroom, and he is the best of the best! He is super personable, outgoing, easy to talk to, and so much fun! He made our guests so comfortable, and made the night flow tremendously! All in all, the day was amazing thanks to the amazing staff at The Fountains Ballroom!

    We could not have chosen a better venue! Every area of the venue is stunning and working with Blaine was amazing; we could always get in contact with her when we had questions and she made our day feel extra special and personal. All aspects of the day were perfect and we owe a big part of that to Blaine and The Fountains! We can’t recommend this venue enough!

    Picture perfect wedding!!

    The best part about this place is the Owner, Blaine. She helped every step of the way and made everything run so smooth. I had no idea how many decisions go into planning a wedding and I couldn’t have done it without her. Not to mention my flowers were amazing, and she did them all!! Our wedding was perfect, thanks to The Fountains Ballroom.

    Our Special Day!

    Our August wedding at the Fountains Ballroom was amazing and unforgettable!  We cannot help but smile every time we think about our special day.  The Fountains Ballroom amenities are outstanding and impressive.  Having the ceremony, reception and dance all in one place was very convenient for the wedding party/guests.  We selected Elegant Edge Events for our catering and could not have been more pleased.  The food served was hot and delicious, service was efficient, staff was welcoming, and the pricing was reasonable.  We received a great deal of positive feedback on the food at our wedding as well as from family/friends after.  Mad Ox Bakery made our cake and created our fun donut stand—so amazing and delicious.  Again, well-received by guests.  Dezirae was our photographer and we could not be happier by her generosity, patience and photography talents.  Dezirae captured our wedding day beautifully and made the process fun!  Taylor Burkum was our entertaining and wonderful DJ.  The music he played for our ceremony was great, facilitated the reception efficiently and was on-point with the music.  The dance floor was never empty, and our family/friends had a blast dancing.  We highly recommend Taylor for any event.  Lastly, we cannot forget our wedding coordinator, Blaine Muhle.  Hands down, so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process.  It’s obvious Blaine has a passion for her work.  She is very talented, kind, patient, flexible, and was very responsive.  Blaine helped us coordinate the order of events, select the décor that fit our style and made sure every detail was covered.  There was very little stress on our end.  We are grateful.
    Overall, we are 100% happy with our decision to celebrate our wedding at the Fountains Ballroom and highly recommend anyone considering it!

Our day was magical, and went perfect. Blaine, the owner was super helpful, and she brought our visions to life! I would recommend this venue over and over again!
