Venue is nice. Sales staff are good with getting things planned. The day of wedding was a little disorganized. Be VERY clear if you are having them do your centerpieces. Mine were not done correctly.
The keg beer that we ordered was skunk, so they wanted to trade it for a different flavor, which wasn't a good option for us, but we were just stuck with what they had. They didn't plan for a backup if that keg ran out. Which we didn't really drink cause it tasted bad. Many of my guests ended up paying for their own drinks because of this, which did not make us happy.
Staff was having disagreements with each other in the room in front of our guests and us... which seemed odd.
Maybe a little power control struggle between room captain, bartender and another person (not sure what the title of his job was).
I just caution you to have a designated person to be sure things are set up correctly. We didn't do that, because we didn't want anyone to have to worry about it..... so we ended up having to deal with all of that on our wedding night.
Just use caution.
I have been to many events at the DC Center that were enjoyable. However, I attended a wedding recently and my heart broke for the couple. I have worked in catering, understand staffing shortages, but you are a business. If you do not have staff to cover multiple events don’t over book. You should have backup staff as well it was a wedding. The bartender looked disoriented, drugs or alcohol use before work. She took over 15 minutes to serve one person after the ceremony. She left the bar unattended, took her purse with her during the reception. Guests were cleaning up and behind the bar. Security is paid but did not enter the reception room to my knowledge. Food was not consistently brought to the buffet line, a lot of waiting in line. Again this was one bad experience, however, I would never recommend them for a wedding after this experience!
The Dc Center went above and beyond to help make my wedding day extra special. Sharon and Sammy were Angels on earth. They kept a smile on my face and made sure I was happy. I can’t thank you all enough. 10/10 I recommend.
We got married in August and there were good and bad things about the DC Centre.
The good:
They set up all of our decorations, allowed us to do the ceremony in the same spot, put the chairs up, tore everything down and set up for dinner. Gave us the freedom to do what we wanted with the ceremony and decorations. It is a nice/beautiful venue when everything is set up.
The bad:
The bartender did not show up. They had a backup but she was extremely slow - there was only 1 bartender and it took 20-30 minutes for our guests to get a drink. It was frustrating all night for guests to get their drinks as a long line built up the entire time.
Sharon - Sharon overpromises everything. Also very pushy and "sales"-y talking bad about all other venues in omaha. I can't tell you how many times she stated "well no other venue in omaha does this". Its all crap. Other venues do.
Speaking of the overpromising: The cleanup. Sharon told us that at 10:30-10:45 the room captain will come and ask to pick up decorations, they will take presents out to the car, etc etc. They didnt. At 10:45 I had to ask the room captain when they would pick up and she gave attitude saying "I guess we could help", and was extremely unprofessional. We had to have all of our guests start taking things to the car, taking presents to the car, if we didn't we would have been there until 4 in the morning waiting for them to do it. This was the biggest failure and my biggest complaint of everything, because this is WHY we chose this place to begin with....we didn't want our guests to have to stay after and cleanup.
The DC centre was extremely persistent on noone bringing in shooters to the venue. Which completely makes sense and is reasonable. We understand you don't want to use your liquor license and we understood. Not 1 guest brought in any shooters or alcohol (we had an open bar). I can tell you though, 1 of their staff members who was underage (high school at Millard North), we saw pouring alcohol into her redbull multiple times. They were so worried about our guests, but had no idea their employees were the ones they should be worried about.
We paid for Champagne for the toasts. They did not deliver on this either. Mother of the bride had to go ask the room captain for the Champagne and she said "well they need to go to the bar to get it". No, again, this is not what was promised. They finally brought it out after getting upset with the room captain telling her we paid for it.
We had a few guests who needed gluten free meals (we had a pasta bar). We told them ahead of time "oh ya no problem we will do that" - Sharon. Again, didn't deliver. We had to ask where the gluten free meals were. the room captain again got upset, like we were inconveniencing her, acted like she had no idea there was even supposed to be gluten free meals, and she went in the back and brought out cold noodles. Probably not even gluten free.
Overall - customer service was HORRIBLE. Everything was great until the night of. The mother of the Bride went to voice her concerns to Jackie and Jackie literally walked away from her. Everyone there was so unprofessional. And we aren't looking for anything, no money back, we don't care. At the end of the night the bride and the groom got married, had a great time and it will be a memory forever. Just be aware of all of the overpromising and horrible customer service the night of. I just want others looking at this venue to know. And Sharon, Jackie or anyone else from the DC centre. You know who we are, and you have our number, please call us if you want to chat about these. 100% honest review.
DC Centre is the perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. We knew that we wanted to have our wedding here within the first 5 minutes of seeing the place and talking with the staff. The planning was seamless (we accomplished everything in 3, 20 minute sessions) and execution was on point. Our day-of room coordinator, Nicole, was excellent and the transitions from ceremony, to dinner, to dance floor were flawless. The only thing we had to do in terms of set-up and tear-down was transport what we wanted in and out of the building.
Our dinner was buffet-style roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and salad. I'm admittedly a picky eater but can confidently say that I would 100% vouch for the quality of DC's food. Additionally, the bartender kept up with the crowd--an impressive feat when dealing with my wife's and my families--and kept everyone happy throughout the night (she had the Bride and Groom's order memorized within the first 30 minutes of the reception!).
Overall, I would highly recommend DC to anyone looking for a nice venue with a great staff and excellent service.
Overall, a good place to work with. Sharon was very helpful in getting us the info we needed quickly an super nice to work with.
Only 2 negative things that were kind of big. One was that food was not out for very long. We paid a ton of money for food that was probably just thrown out. I feel like it could have been moved off the dance floor so we could eat more as we wanted, but instead tons of food was thrown out.
Second, the person helping with the wedding on the night of had said she would close the door after the flower girls went down the aisle, and then reopen the door for me to walk down. Neither of those happened, and I ended up having to close the door and re-open it myself, which was a task since I was in a big dress and my young son was my escort.
Otherwise, it seemed to go very well.
Everything was great except one person. there was a lady from the kitchen that was very rude to two guest and said some words that was very nasty. It upset them.
The DC Centre was AMAZING! They did EVERYTHING and when I walked in there on the day of the wedding I was blown away. They were so easy to work with and answered any question I had. I would recommend the DC Centre to anyone!
The DC Centre did an incredible job with my wedding reception. I loved that they did absolutely all the set up, clean up, and catering so I didn't have to worry about having to do anything before or afterwards. They even made a special dish that wasn't on the menu. I would definitely recommend them again
We had an excellent experience at the DC Centre. Sharon and her team did a great job taking care of us and answering all my pre-wedding nervous-bride questions. They made our wedding hall absolutely beautiful, "dressing" the room with the chandelier and light-wall. The room coordinator gave me an in-person tour of the venue when I was dropping off our wedding decorations. (Our first tour was virtual due to Covid, lead by the effervescent Sharon.)
Sharon made it possible for us to have a Friday night dress rehearsal. She also was able to accommodate our florist and DJ, allowing them to come in early to get set up, since we were having the wedding and reception in the same room.
There were a few things that would have made my experience 5-star. In the bridal room, there were no hooks to hang dresses or coats. Also, I think leaving the code to the bridal bathroom on a small card in the bridal room would be an excellent touch. That way we wouldn't have to remember the code, we can just look at the card. (I say this because I was told the code, but forgot it in the hubbub of the wedding day.)
Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend the DC Centre. :) Thanks so much, Sharon and team!
The DC Centre was an amazing place for us to have our wedding reception!! Sharon was absolutely wonderful to work with, as well as all the other staff. Our evening went smoothly, the room was beautiful, the food was well coordinated, and we can’t thank them enough!!! We highly recommend the DC Centre for anyone for their wedding reception. Thank you so much!!!
We actually were to have our reception in April after a destination wedding. Due to Covid we were forced to change the date of our reception. Sharon was wonderful to work with and so accommodating during this crazy unpredictable time. The facility was absolutely beautiful and the staff was so nice. Minus the Covid craziness it really was pretty stress free. However the Holiday Inn is a joke - there was to be a shuttle which we were told no. Apparently you have to have so many rooms booked and just lack of customer service.
The staff at DC Centre is so helpful, kind, and their customer service is unmatched! So thankful for such a smooth day!
Everything about the DC Centre was absolutely perfect for our big day. Sharon was exceptional to work with and was very quick to answer our calls and emails. She made sure we were completely comfortable with it all every step of the way. She was able to refer us to the hotel down the street which had a shuttle service for the reception and was very knowledgeable about other vendors and the whole wedding planning process.
The food was delicious, and the buffet tables were set out for the exact right amount of time. All of our welcome and food tables were set up correctly per our instructions, and the DC Centre set up all of our tables and head table with the decorations we wanted. Our room captain did a phenomenal job of running the show and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. We didn’t have to lift a finger the whole night, and we never felt rushed or stressed on anything.
We are so incredibly happy with our experience with the DC Centre, and we would definitely recommend it to our family and friends.
Dennise Hart is the person that coordinated everything for us at the DC Centre. She is excellent, and I highly recommend anyone considering an event there ask for her specifically. Her communication skills were excellent, and she was extremely accommodating. She was on top of everything from beginning to end, responded to our inquiries in a timely manner, no matter how often we contacted her. She coordinated efforts with all of the various vendors we had e.g. cake, linens, etc., and was just overall, a joy to work with.
Patrick was our room captain the day of the ceremony, and he was top notch. He was very present throughout, checked in with us frequently, and along with the rest of the staff, made sure that everything was taken care of. They worked hard to make sure that the room was set up exactly the way that we wanted, and they did a beautiful job. The food was also very good, we had the marinated beef brisket and baked chicken. Because it was an open bar, I was concerned that the guests would not be served in a timely manner, but it did not seem to be a problem at all.
We were in one of the smaller ballrooms (200 capacity). Although the space did accommodate the number of guests that we had (approximately 117), it seemed crowded, and I honestly don’t know how they could ever fit 200 people in that room comfortably. Our table was partially on the dance floor, and we ended up moving the table back ourselves.
In addition to the space issue, while Patrick and the staff did an excellent job, they were really hustling, and it seemed like they were stretched thin and may have been understaffed. At one point, Patrick was even bartending! Aside from these small issues, I consider our overall experience a positive one, and sincerely thank everyone on staff for all their hard work in making my daughter’s special day a memorable one.
The DC centre was a fantastic place for a winter wedding! With discounted winter prices, it was definitely in the price range we were looking for. I heard from many of my guests that the food was great and that the service was outstanding! They set up the decorations before the day of, so I was able to go in and make some changes if I wanted to, which I was very appreciate of. We were in just enough communication to where it was not over bearing and they always responded to emails promptly and professionally. Would most definitely recommend the DC centre for any bride who is looking for an affordable place for a medium sized wedding.
Our experience with the DC Centre was fantastic! From the beginning there was always someone there to answer any question I had. they made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day of our big day and I thought they successfully accomplished that! I did not have to worry about decorating before the wedding, I delivered my decorations the week of my wedding and our room captain set everything up and it turned out perfect and like I had pictured! We got everything loaded after the reception so quickly--there was nothing I stressed/worried about that day!
Not only is the DC Centre a beautiful venue there are so easy to work with!! They made everything so easy from start to finish!! Their customer service is top notch and worked to resolve a issue that had come up with an outside vendor the day before our wedding! They had everything figured out and in place before we even had time to stress about it! Working with Sharon and Dennise leading up to the wedding was easy and stressfree! The staff the day of our event was amazing and had everything set up how we wanted it and switched things out without guests even noticing until it was announced!!
If we could give Dc Centre and their staff 6 stars we would! From day 1 Denise was so sweet and accommodating. She made every step of planning so easy, true phone calls, emails, and text. I am so thankful for her and the staff. The day of our event everything was perfect. I could not ask for anything else. Thank you for al the hard work and making our day a dream come true.
Loved the facility and the staff as awesome. My only complaint was they said they’d leave the buffet up for 30-45 minutes but only left it up for like 15, for the price we paid for all the food this didn’t sit well with me and my fiancé. Several guests also complained and ended up having to buy food else where 😞
DC Centre was super organized and made our reception the best night! All the staff was amazing and the food was great! We would definitely recommend using them!
It was great. Denise was awesome! Team captain in our room was great! They did pretty good job decorating but some issues with decoration. Center piece flowers was not in all the way in we had to fix. Tea lights was not all lit. Good thing we were there early to fix some flowers.
Just had my wedding yesterday and everything went great. Denise helped with all my questions. Brian, the roommaster, did a great job with everything. The food tasted amazing and eveyone loved it. I would definately recommend DC Centre to anyone else. Thank you for a great day!!!
Everything was amazing!! My only issue was no one told us where the sheet cakes were so they cut the entire grooms cake first and not any of the sheet cakes, the mints we brought were not out yet either. Other than that everything was amazing! We worked with Sharon and Denise and they went above and beyond answering all of my questions and I would recommend them to everyone! We have had so many compliments on the food and just the venue!
I had the absolute best experience! Sharon made my entire experience effortless and smooth. The staff working my wedding were awesome also. I had family and friends come to me and say how kind and helpful the staff was.
The room was beautiful and plenty big. I would definitely recommend DC Centre to anyone looking for an awesome venue. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!
I'm so happy I chose dc center for my wedding and reception! Dennise helped me prepare for the wedding and helped me with any questions or concerns. II was over my head at first at planning and she had no problem answering any questions i had. I had a Harry potter themed wedding and she helped it become a reality . Anything I wanted she went out of her way to help me get it.
Chris was my room captain and made the set up and my wedding run beautiful. I had diffent centerpieces and made sure it was all where i wanted to go. He was always friendly and helpful. I had an issue with a cake vendor less than an hour before my wedding who I was visibly upset with. From what I and my wedding party witnessed they took care of the problem so professionally that I didn't have to so I could focus on getting married instead. The whole night ran smoothly and I give majors credit to him and his staff. I kept getting compliments from guests on the mashed potatoes and beef stroganoff. I truly enjoyed myself and several guests said it was one of the best weddings they attended. Highly reccomend for your special day.
All of the staff at the DC Centre were amazing to work with. We had both our ceremony and our reception held there. The fact that they decorate for you and clean up was a bonus! The prices were very reasonable and we had several compliments on the food. If you are looking for a venue with great quality of service and costs this is the place for you!
We worked with Dennise to plan the best wedding ever! Not only was the DC Centre the most affordable place we considered they were also the nicest and most helpful. DC Centre set up all our decorations and helped pack them up at the end of night which was a big plus since my family is all from out of town. Also their food is delicious!!!! We received compliments all night on the party. I would HIGHLY recommend DC Centre to any bride.
The only thing to keep an eye out for is the space within the room, the DC Centre likes to fit as many people as possible into a room. If you are close to the limit on a room I would suggest going up if your budget allows or else it is TIGHT.
Our wedding was held at the DC Centre and I absolutely loved the experience! It was super easy and it turned out beautifully! I would recommend working with Dennise!! SHE WAS AMAZING, professional and very personable! The food was great and the whole staff was very easy to work with! They set up my decorations perfectly. Just a great overall facility to have a reception and or ceremony.
The DC Centre was amazing to work with. They were more than helpful when it came to figuring out our numbers and staying within budget. The night of the wedding, our numbers were a bit higher than expected and so they opened up another 1/2 ballroom to accommodate a bigger dance floor. Patrick our room manager was on top of everything and made the reception run smoothly.
Everything turned out perfect and Sharon was a pleasure to work with. I had no worries on my big day!
I absolutely love this place! Everyone is amazing to talk and work with. They all showed us nothing but kindness. They mad sure everything was perfect and made my vision happen. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone was talking about how good it was. I highly recommend this place. 5 star in my book!
Awesome facility. My wedding turned out so beautiful.
Loved dc centere! Staff was great, food was wonderful and everything turned out awesome.
The DC Centre was awesome! They made my job as a bride super easy and very enjoyable. All I had to do was book the venue and then they did the rest! The food was delicious, the drink was wonderful and the decorations that came with the package added the perfect touch to the reception. One package with everything in it, can't get much easier than that! Pat was our room manager and HE WAS SPECTACULAR! Pat set up all the decorations that I brought in from the centerpieces to the mints and snacks, etc. I will recommend this facility to everyone I know!
The DC Centre made our day just perfect! Denise was amazing to work with. She made the process so easy and made sure our day was what we wanted. Any question we had she was able to answer. The night of our wedding went smoothly. Everyone that we worked with were so warm and welcoming. Out room manger, Chris, made our night! He was on top of everything and made sure we had no issues. The food was Absolutely delicious! Even my picky nephews loved it! I would gladly recommend the DC Centre.
This venue was absolutely amazing!! We had our ceremony and reception here. The service was beyond anything I could have imagined. Dennise was always there if I had any questions every step of the way. The ball room was so beautiful and the food was amazing! Thank you for making our wedding perfect!!
We recently had our reception at the D.C. Centre and it was great! Dennise was amazing to work with. She was always quick to get back to me with any question that I had. Food was great for a reasonable price. They set all of our decorations up for us which was a huge plus! Service was great! Definitely would recommend them to any future bride looking for a venue!
As father of the bride, I could not have been more pleased with the DC Centre as the site of the reception. The food was delicious, the room was beautifully decorated, and the wait staff and bartenders were friendly and accommodating. The room captain was working his tail off to make sure everything was just right. We had a large group (300+), but we did not feel crammed in. There was a large dance fl00r, and a large lobby with a television where many of our guests sat to watch the Nebraska game while eating wedding cake.
Had my wedding at the DC Centre this past weekend. We had the ceremony and reception at the venue and everything went perfectly! The room was beautiful and the perfect size for my 60 guests. Dennise was so helpful throughout the entire process and then my room attendant the day of made sure everything was to our liking. The food was great as well. I can't say enough good things about the DC Centre.
We are so pleased with how well everything went with our wedding. Everyone who worked closely with us were all so kind and made sure we were so happy! I would highly recommend them to anyone!! Thanks for making our day so special!! We will always remember how wonderful everything turned out.
Love, love, LOVED the venue! Staff was awesome and my day turned out perfect! Will use venue again with hubby #2.....lol jk 😜
We had our wedding reception here just a few weekends ago, and overall we had a wonderful time, but there were lots of things that could have made our experience better. Here's the pros and cons we determined from our experience.
Pros:
-Sharon is the best! She is super nice and will ensure that you get everything you want at your reception. She also gives a lot of good advice on things you may not have thought of for the reception.
-The building is beautiful! The outdoor area is also nice for photos.
-The food and drinks are reasonably priced and it tasted good.
-They set up all your decorations for you, and did an excellent job of laying it out the way I wanted.
Cons:
-We were told that the suites would hold a maximum of 200 people, and that 150 people would fit comfortably. We had around 150 people and it was PACKED. I would not book this room for any more than 100 people, as I could barely navigate the room in my dress because everything was so densely organized.
- The buffet table and some guest tables start out on the dance floor and are removed once dinner is complete. We were aware that this would be the case. However, when dinner was over, the buffet table was removed, but the guest tables were not, leaving the dance floor to be less than half the size we expected! After the dj had already announced our first dance, we had to tell him to hold on because we needed to find someone to move the tables for us! Otherwise there would not have been enough room.
-The dance floor was so small, it felt very packed even when it was just our wedding party, which was about 20 people. A lot of our guests ended up leaving early because it was too crowded and there wasn't enough room on the dance floor. We ended up having to push the head table up against the back wall (on our own, but should have been the room captain’s job) in order for us to have more room on the dance floor, so we did not get to sit there the rest of the night.
-We were told there would be a room captain who we could go to if we needed anything during the reception. We saw him maybe twice the entire night, and otherwise did not know where he was. My mom tried to track him down multiple times to get the tables moved and to turn up the temperature because it was freezing in the room and our guests were complaining, but she was unsuccessful in finding him.
-The bridal suite requires a code to get into, which I was given as soon as I walked into the building. I had later forgotten this code and needed to find the room captain to help me get into the suite so I could use the restroom. We could not locate him, so I had to use the general bathroom. When I got there, the handicap stall was locked from the inside with nobody in it, so one of our guests had to CRAWL ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM to get in and unlock it to let me in. I never did get into the bridal suite because the room captain was nowhere to be seen.
-We were told that we would not hear the noise coming from the other rooms. However, that was definitely not the case. Throughout the best man and maid of honor speech, you could easily hear the music from the party next to ours.
Overall, the biggest downfall to this reception was the size. We were told several times that the reception can hold up to 200 people, and that our party of 150-160 would be fine. That could not have been farther from the truth. If we had to use this place again, we would FOR SURE get the ballroom and not a suite.
The D.C. Centre was the perfect venue. Dennise is amazing! I emailed her numerous times throughout the process of planning my wedding to make sure I had everything that I needed. She always responded to me so quickly. I was able to drop my decorations off the week of the wedding and was able to explain exactly how I wanted everything- and that was I last I worried about my decorations!! It was amazing to show up to the venue and everything be set up for me. The food is delicious! And at the end of the night, they help pack everything up and load it into your car.
We recently had our wedding reception at the DC Centre and have absolutely nothing but praise for them!
From Sharon during the planning phase, to the manager and the bar tender that worked the day of, we had nothing but excellent service.
Sharon worked with us to create a mimosa bar, as that was part of my dream brunch. She happily created the idea, and they were delicious!
The manager consistently asked thru the event how things were going, if I needed anything, and helped clean up at the end. The bar tender, everyone agreed was an absolute sweetheart. She talked with everyone throughout the event and just kept it very upbeat. They even showed up earlier on a Sunday than their normal hours to let us in to decorate, and seemed as happy as could be to do it.
I am very pleased with my experience and would happily recommend them to other brides in the future.
Our wedding and the service we received on the day of our wedding was absolutely unforgettable. Our guest were comfortable and the food was excellent. Dennise when you took over our event I felt relieved and you took the time to make us feel special and handled everything we requested of you with politeness and honesty, and for that we can't thank you enough. Initially, we we working with Sharron, she started off amazing. However, as the event got closer to our big day, she dropped the ball. She knew we were having 200 guest and said we could have an outdoor ceremony.Come to find out the outdoor space only help 50 people. She also would email me when other brides payments were due on their upcoming event, making you feel as if she didn't take the time to separate each event, to make you feel special for your big day. Sharron's reply to us was that she has over 300 brides a year and can't differenciate everyone. She gave me the worst feeling about our wedding being at the DC center. Her staff saved her because she was the most unprofessional person I have ever come across . I hope no one has to deal with her on their special day.
My wedding was March 11, 2017 the staff was amazing the entire process. Sharon was absolutely incredible. She helped me with every need all the way up to the day of my wedding. Pat was the gentleman that set everything up for me for my wedding and reception. Was very easy to work with and was willing to accommodate last minute change or anything that i needed to drop off like my flowers for the wedding and centerpieces . They stored them for me in the coolers. I had a very simple wedding it was nothing big. I would recommend DC Centre to anyone that would ask. Great place and great people.
The DC Centre was great to us! We would recommend them to any couple getting married. Dennise was our contact and she was so helpful. She was quick to answer questions and easy to get ahold of. She was also very flexible and understanding with us. At the reception the servers were great and very kind. The man in charge of our room made the night flow very smoothly and was there to help us with any questions. Also, the guys that set up our room did a great job and were very cognizant of what would work best where to make the night the best it could be.
All I can say, is working with them was the best decision I made. They literally take care of everything and make sure everything is ran smoothly and nothing is done during the wedding without them talking to you first! They make it so easy. Set up/tear down (even loading up everything for you afterwards) catering, ECT. They made everything so stress free, I would highly recommend them to everyone. They helped create my dream wedding!
We loved everything except we had people not come to our reception because there was a wedding reception next door and no body was standing at the front telling them which wedding is which.
Our centerpieces were messed up too when they set them up! Everything else was wonderful
Such a great venue! Denice (the coordinator) was super easy to work with and very accommodating! The food was delicious, the hall looked great, and it was affordable! They set up our decorations for us beautifully! It was basically a one-stop shop for our reception-we couldn't be more pleased!
I had a beautiful night at the dc center for my wedding ceremony and reception. Sharon had helped me through everything that happened with my wedding. She was so nice. The decor and food were fabulous and all my guests enjoyed every minute of it! thank you again for everything you all did. it was the best night of my life and all thanks you to !
We had a wonderful time at the reception, but we did have a few things that needed to be taken care of that were not before we arrived. We made it very clear that we needed a table to put the props on for the photo booth. When I arrived at 6:15 P.M., the props were all on the floor next to the photo booth. I had to find the room manager to get one setup pronto. He was very attentive and got a table setup asap.
The taco bar was good, but quests had to wait for tortillas. The chicken breasts were so dried out, that I could not even eat it. I informed the staff and requested that they replace the breasts with ones that were not dried out. My step mother later informed me that her breast was still raw.
Also, a little concerned about how the gratuity works because both wedding party parents were told by staff that tips would be appreciated (really ???). Is DC Centre not giving the gratuity that was added to the bill to the staff? That is a hefty chunk of money, and they are asking for more money. The room manager and staff worked all night and were extremely busy. They deserve to be paid by the DC Centre what they are truly worth.
They were absolutely amazing. I didn't have to worry about a thing and felt very taken care of.
Overall we were very impressed with the DC Center and how well the staff did and cared about everyone that was invited to the Reception. The team caption was attentive when he was in the room. There were many times we were not able to find him but the bartender was able to get him right away. We were under the impression the team captain would be in the room all night. But it worked out anyways. He did an AMAZING job making sure we were happy. lol and he kept telling me the code for the door because for the life of me I could not remember it. How everything was set up in the room was wonderful. Some of our flowers arrived very late in the evening but the staff were able to put them in the vases as soon as they arrived. The food was delicious! Everyone had a lot of fun.
A few things that were not so pleasant.
• My parents were not able to drop off the mints at the Center on Friday. They were turned away by staff saying there was no fridges to put them. There was 2 trays. They were told to come back at 1 pm on Saturday and of course that was when the wedding was. My parents went to their hotel before the reception and brought them. When they did the staff was great with getting the mints set up quickly.
• The parking was rough. Thankfully everyone eventually found parking but there were people that did complain to us.
• People from the other parties continued throughout the night to come into our room and dance and mingle with the guests. There was one group in particular (dressed in pink) that was bad at doing this. Most of them did not cause any trouble until later in the night.
• There was a fight that broke out in front of the DC Center from one of the parties that was attending. Security seemed to be unaware of this and allowed the group of people to return to the party. People were still yelling at each other outside throughout the night.
• Also there were several people from other parties that should have been cut off from drinking a LONG time before hand. A couple of the drunk guys came up to me when I was alone and waiting for my husband to get me. They were pleasant enough but one did grabbed me and hugged me. Thankfully nothing else happened. It would have been nice if the Security Guard was watching out for the people like this!
Otherwise everything was fantastic. Again we loved the staff and how they were able to make our reception wonderful.
I had my original venue cancel/close on me, 3 weeks before our wedding date. I went to the D.C Centre and they went over and beyond to make everything work out for us! The wedding itself was amazing and they made us feel taken care of! Our "room captain" was Patrick and he was amazing, and took care of anything. I couldn't have been more happy with the way everything turned out. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!
I was very pleased with the DC Centre. My contact was always very good about answering any questions that I had. Was always available when needed. My captain for the evening was the same way. Very accomadating. My direction of how I wanted things set up was carried out well. We had a few adjustments but that is to be expected. The food was fantastic. And the best part was the prices were awesome. When that includes someone setting up and cleaning up that makes it even better. I would recommend DC Centre highly.
This was the forth place I looked at, they were so friendly and prices were very affordable and they were so accommodating , and the food was awesome, And Sharon was very understanding and very helpful with everything and she made my reception all that I could have imagined and more.It was a great experience and I would recommend the DC Center to anyone who wanted a beautiful wedding and reception. Thank you Sharon and DC Center staff for a memorable experience.
I wanted to shout out to Sharon and Dennise at the DC Centre. I have never thought wedding planning would be so peaceful and well put. Mind you, I am soon to be wed next month. I had only 6 months to plan this. The DC Centre is well put. If you need catering, ceremony, reception, and best of all HEART, this is the place to be. I were timid and didn't want to tell my coordinator Dennise every struggle personally while planning and were touched when she happily greeted me with open arms and a warm touch. She continued as the count down continues to my big day. She never turned another cheek or dropped her peppiness. Sharon is also the same, she is genuine and will be honest with love and will go out her way in ANY means necessary, keep in mind ADULTS businesses have rules and regulations to follow too. So, going about what a contract says even with effort will not always be a yes but, a simple "let me see what I can do" makes my day to know at least they are taking my wishes into consideration.
So, because I believe in connection and what you put out has a boomerang effect, remember three fingers are pointing back at you when your ready to point fingers at someone else. MIND you this is you asking someone to go above and beyond what their same rules and regulations are and follows for everyone. To others putting negative comments LEARN TO BE HUMBLE, GRATEFUL, AND UNDERSTANDING. In life you don't get what you want with a closed mouth, however when you speak chose wisely and be respectful of boundaries that are drawn, especially doing business. Your 1st impression is the last impression.
I am excited to feel welcome, I have my bridesmaids amd brides too whom recommended the DC Centre, in person before my big day to wrap things up, they felt that love that speaks from the heart, and If you don't have a heart and understanding of other peoples needs of course you will NOT see eye to eye.
To Sharon and Dennise, thanks for all you do, if you never hear it like you should; know that gratification comes from like minded people. You both don't get enough credit for what you do. You are sincere, honest, patient, open minded, and best of all still human.
I love you guys and you are both Heaven sent.
Love, love, love you and I wouldn't ask for anyone different.

Everyone at the DC Centre was really helpful and so nice and accommodating. Sharon was so great to work with and even though she has so many brides at a time she really makes you feel special. Pat was also awesome. He did a great job managing everything the night of the reception. We had quite a bit of special dietary needs and with him everything went so smoothly. Our guests loved the reception and everyone had a great time. I would really recommend this place for wedding receptions. The price is also very affordable for all you that comes with the venue as well.
This place was amazing!! They took care of everything for us. I dropped off decorations a few days before and they took care of setting it all up. Food was awesome as well. Love the fact that the bride has their own bridal suite. When the night was over they helped take things down pack up everything and gave it to my wedding party to give to me. Hands down great place and Sharon is great to work with.
Great value and service! All staff was very helpful and worked to make sure our reception was perfect! We were in the Gold Ballroom with 280 ish people and it worked for us! Food was amazing also!
We were married on July 10, 2015 and had our ceremony and reception at the DC Centre. Our event was on Friday evening and we chose to have
hors d'oeuvres vs. dinner. We got a lot of compliments on the food and the room set up was beautiful. I definitely would suggest adding the "wall of lights", especially if your wedding is in the evening, it's such an intimate touch. Justin, our room captain, was great - very helpful and attentive throughout the night. On the downside - I had arranged to have my hair and makeup stylists meet me in the bridal suite while myself and my maid of honor prepared for the ceremony. They each reported that they were treated very rudely by the staff and were told that the bridal suite is not intended for brides to dress and get ready - just to freshen up in. ( I had cleared this with the wedding coordinator ahead of time and since we would be in and out before any other brides needed the room, this was not to be a problem) I don't understand the point of having a bridal suite if it's not intended for a bride to get ready there. Also, the coordinator we started with took another job and we ended up with two others by the date of our wedding. Another issue occurred when our photographer came. He simply wanted to take a picture of my wedding dress, before I put it on, in front of the pillar entrance. A male staff (manager, I assume) yelled at him and told him to take the dress down. He wouldn't allow him 10 seconds to take a photo - rather, he spent a ridiculous amount of time arguing with him. This photographer has taken photos for events at the Centre many times and is very quick and professional, so needless arguing about something like that is way out of line. There were two other receptions being held that evening, but ours was only ceremony/reception. At the exact time we started to recite our vows, a blast of music came from the room next to ours, and our guests complained they were unable to hear any of the ceremony. A suggestion is that the Centre be more mindful of coordinating these events so that one does not interfere with another's actual ceremony. Another idea would be for the sound systems to be on opposite ends of rooms holding events to avoid blaring music competitions. The venue is fabulous and we have heard the same from many others. Our experience could have been improved and problems remedied with a little better planning and awareness on the part of the support staff of the needs of the clients being served.
Started out with Maggie and she was great. Then a month before my wedding I get an email from someone else telling me they will be taking over my reception. I only ever got a hold of the lady on the phone once, she never returned my phone calls and was never timely with an email response..usually never in the same day. I also don't know what security I was paying for, I had wedding crashers come in, and sign my guestbook as well. The person in charge of my room walked away from the cake cutting after cutting some pieces and then I was informed by my husband that guests were cutting their own cake because no one was there. The room did look amazing though so props to the people who set up the room they did it exactly how I wanted it. And they were amazing at packing things up that night for us.
I booked my reception at the DC Centre after canceling another venue. I definitely made the right choice in booking with the DC Centre. They take of everything for you. Maggie was a joy to work with. She was extremely professional. She returned all my calls and emails within a day, usually within hours. She made it possible not to worry about how my reception would turn out. The reception was perfect and the room captain ensured everythjbg ran smoothly.
We worked with Maggie at the DC Centre. She was very kind, but it was difficult to actually make my dream a reality that this location. We chose the venue because of the low cost, but I couldn't have the favors I wanted & I had to share the venue with another wedding reception which made things a bit challenging. The food was delicious! The planning and execution were not exactly smooth though - much more stressful than necessary.
My husband (still fun to say :)) and I recently got married. Our reception was at the DC Centre. We were so impressed with our experience here. Maggie, did a wonderful job of helping us prepare and plan for our celebration. The day came and they went over the top to accommodate to us. Our room coordinator was the first one to introduce himself when we got off the bus (and the first to call me by my new name!). He helped us through a last minute upgrade with the bar service with graciousness. The food was amazing and the staff was very professional. At the end of the night, I continued to be impressed by the DC Centre! Our room coordinator and staff helped us pack up our centerpiece decorations (all provided by us)! This was a very helpful ending to OUR night as our families just had to move the boxes to the vehicles. AMAZING experience that I would recommend to anyone!
We had a wonderful experience at the DC Centre. We worked directly with Maggie and were very pleased the help and direction she provided, and loved the efficiency of our meetings. The staff that night also did a great job, so we would definitely recommend this venue.
I could never say enough good things about DC. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone...the food is great, each member of their team is amazing especially Maggie :) and they honestly want to make things work for you whether it be your budget, decoration prep, etc.
Have your reception at DC and that will be one thing you don't have to worry about on your big day. Absolutely everything was taken care of and we couldn't have been more pleased!!
I could not have had a better reception! They took care of EVERYTHING and I enjoyed myself the WHOLE time! Sharon was amazing and very accommodating.I would definitely use them again for any event!
If you are a cheap bride who doesn't really care about all the minor details behind a venue this is your best bet in Omaha other than your backyard. The food was okay, the first batch was cold. The service with setting everything up before the day of the event is less than satisfactory. If you have any issues like I did they usually don't answer emails or phone calls until 2 weeks before the event. Want anything done before that? Go straight to a supervisor and be prepared to be put down by your event specialist, becuase they will stress you out and make you (even if you are the bride) feel like the bad guy and it was all your fault. other than that I guess it is a nice place to get married or have your party.they only charge for food and drink so that cuts the cost greatly.
I recommend the DC Centre for a wedding reception. We had multiple compliments on the food and the drinks. My room manager was awesome, he was attentive and paid attention to our needs throughout the whole night. My only real complaints are that I wasn't allowed to drink at my own wedding at 10 pm until I was carded when I had been drinking since 5 pm when I got there (I'm 26.) Also, just a warning there could be multiple events that night and random people could come into your event. Overall, we were very happy with our evening. Decorations were beautiful and it was awesome to have the room set up when we got there.
I loved the DC Centre. They took care of all the set up and take down but listened to your preferences. The food was wonderful and their service was great! They were there throughout the planning process always willing to answer questions. The venue is beautiful both inside and out. They provide lots of options for decorating and allow you to do what you want. I would recommend this venue to any bride looking for someone to help take stress out of planning and your wedding day!
They were FANTASTIC. everything happens in one place so no traveling ,they do all the set up and clean up, all the food is catered right there as well as beverages. It was amazing and beautiful. As magical as anything Ihave ever dreamed of. All the staff was extremely helpful and courteous, very nice setting.. I cant say enough about the DcCentre, it was so wonderful and really relaxed. I love it !!
I'm 24 and paid for my whole wedding every single penny of it by myself so I'm taking this very seriously! To start it off THEY BOOKED TWO CEREMONIES AT THE SAME TIME OUTSIDE! Maggie called me a week before my wedding and explained to me that the outside wedding that I've been planning on forever couldn't work because their computer messed up! So she offered me a step up in their bar and the whole decoration package! I think I deserved a bit more or at least my ceremony money back! She didn't even seem apologetic just walked all over me trying to say the it get bride was hard to work with and I was such a doll to work with! well day of wedding comes and the bridal suite where the bride gets usually gets dress at is taken by the people that get the outside ceremony so I get put back in the back office with no mirror to get ready in or no bathroom nothing ! And then I paid for an upgrade for the sign in table and the wishing tree was there but no cards to put any wishes on so what did I pay my 150$ for!! They said the food was suppose to be out for an hour and a half was out for only 45 mins! Forgot our champagne for out head table and had no cake cutter so my mom (mother of the bride!!!) had to cut the cake! And then lastly tried to shut it down at 11:15 instead of midnight I want my full 6 hours ! It was just a wreck but food was great though!
This is continued from previous review under DC Centre
What you failed to tell me was that they would be switching out their rooms from wedding to reception at the same time that our guests were arriving. The lobby was packed with people when our guests arrived and our photo booth had to put up a sign telling people which wedding there were there for.
4. The bass beat from the wedding next door could be heard in our room all night long.
5. Two woman from the wedding with the loud beat got in a fight in the parking lot and the cops were called. I'm sure our guests were very impressed with that one. This one I realize you can't control all the time. It just added to my appreciation of the night in general.
6. Our event officially started at 5 with the bar open at 4:45. None of the candles were lit at 5:00. They were still going around and lighting the candles at 5:30.
7. When they asked at 10:15 if they could start tearing down - I asked if they could wait at least until 10:30. I tried to help out the room captain as much as I could. He was the only one doing anything as far as I could tell and he was completely overwhelmed. But I wonder why in the world would you even be asking us to start tearing down???? We paid for our reception to go until 11:00.
8. When they were tearing down and blowing out candles - they spilled wax on one of the guest's items that were still on the table since the reception was still in progress.
There were good things too.
1. Food was terrific. We had nothing but compliments on it.
2. Your security guard should be dealing with people - not your self important assistant manager. Your security guard has the people skills. He was great.
3. Dillon, the room captain was great too. He was doing as much as he possibly could for us all night long but he just didn't have enough help.

The DC Centre was simply amazing. They helped me through the entire process and were always there to answer my questions. Would HIGHLY recommend this venue!
I loved having my reception at the DC Centre. The staff was very receptive to my many questions and they worked very hard to make our big day something special!
Great!
I had my ceremony and reception at the DC Centre and it was amazing! They made sure everything was perfect and that I was completely satisfied!! I would recommend DC Centre to everyone because they are reasonably priced and they definitely make sure you're taken care of
My daughter recently got married and we held the reception at the DC Centre. Beginning with the first meeting we held with Maggie to the last night, everything was fabulous! Maggie was very helpful and able to suggest things that would make the night a great success for the bride and groom, our family, friends and guests.
It's been a couple of weeks since the wedding and we have heard from multiple guests how much they enjoyed the venue, how good the food was and that the service they received was phenomenal. My husband (who is usually very quiet) thanked the DC Centre during his speech for their great service & staff, and for making the night so successful. People are still talking about it.
Thanks again, Maggie, for everything you did to help make Chris and Ashley's night so special!
For starters - Do not work with Maggie, if she is still lucky enough to be employed. Take great notes, ask lots of questions, and get them to put it in writing.
Now if I haven't scared you off yet, let me say the overall experience was pretty good the week of the wedding. The staff was polite, our room manager was great, the decorating they did with my supplies was done pretty well, and the value for the money was decent as well. Working with the manager Sharon was an interesting experience, but overall, we cannot complain. SHe was much timelier and professional than Maggie who we had worked with from the start. Maggie had made promises she did not have the authority to make, showed us food options we did not really have, lied, missed appointments, and was snobby. Again though, I don't think she works there or at least is not the only consultant anymore as I did see a new gal there when we went in the week of the wedding. I wish I remembered her name, but she was nice - a bit timid - but my mom and I with our massive catering cart fuls of boxes and decorations were a bit overwhelming.
They did not end up giving all of the guests the champagne toast we paid for, which was disappointing, but only about $110 -$120 and at that, the head table got our toasting glasses. Our room was also very small with the tables set up for 145 people in "Silver B," I can't imagine having the up to 200 it can supposedly accomodate. It may be worth paying for a bigger room if your guest list gets even close to the 200 mark as we had very, very little dance floor until the tore down our food table early to make space.
Overall, I would say it is a nice place, great for photo opts, and a decent value. The desserts at our dessert only reception were also great. If you are not an organized bride or have too many specific requests, be warned this venue will not give you the personal service you want unless you demand it. Be prepared.
