We had a fabulous time at the Omaha Design Center for our daughter’s wedding! This selection for our venue turned out to be top notch as we expected it would be! We had been to the venue for many years for Omaha Fashion Week and knew the space well. The venue is wonderful for a large group and they do a great job facilitating the entire event. Katie, our ODC event manager, was a gem to work with. Always hearing our vision and working to make it come true. She helped to cross check other vendors that we booked for our event as well. The Omaha Design Center is a modern space that can be transformed into any vision. The lighting, chandeliers and pipe and drape in the space are an added bonus as well as the ODC bartending staff. We highly recommend the Omaha Design Center! Beautiful and professional in every way!

The Omaha Design Center is an amazing venue and our event coordinators, Katelyn and Beth, were SO great to work with. So many guests at our wedding commented on how great the venue was and how professional the staff were. From the planning to making sure the wedding day ran smoothly, the staff was always on top of it. We had the most special wedding reception thanks to the Omaha Event Group!

The Omaha Design Center was GREAT! Our original venue shut down 3 months before our wedding, so we were moved to ODC at the last minute. As a bride that can be very scary and stressful, but the people at Omaha Event Group made it so easy for us! Bayli, our coordinator, was so great at communication and answered all my questions at the drop of the hat! Our day ended up so beautiful, we couldn’t be happier to have had it at ODC!

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Design Center last week and it was amazing! The Omaha Event Group staff helped us plan our perfect wedding. They were knowledge, experienced, flexible, responsive, and overall easy to work with. They recommended great vendors and we were able to host the wedding of our dreams. The event space is stunning and the Omaha Event Group allows couples to craft/set up the space however they wish. We would recommend the Design Center to any excited couples preparing for their special day.

We had our wedding reception at the Omaha Design Center and our guests kept telling us how beautiful the space was! We had a wedding of 420 people, and the space was big enough that we could all fit, but we worked with the staff to make the place feel intimate. We were able to use the area outside of the Garden Room (both inside and outside) for cocktail hour, we used the Omaha Design Center main room for dinner and toasts, and then we opened up the Garden room for dancing and desserts. The space was multifaceted and perfect for our needs!
Katie Ticknor helped us with the planning and was a huge help to us! Her eye for the details and extra care for us the day of the wedding made for a smooth and lovely day.

ODC was the perfect choice for our wedding. Katie made the planning process so easy, and she was so responsive to any of our questions. The space is so beautiful to host a reception. Our friends and family had the best time thanks to ODC and all the services that they are able to provide!

We are SO happy we chose the Omaha Event Group to host our long-awaited wedding celebration! Everything was magnificent and overall exceeded our expectations! Our guests, many flying into Nebraska (visiting for the first time), are still communicating with us about how blown away they were by Omaha, the festivities, and our wedding venues - Omaha Design Center highlighted in particular. We spent years making this celebration happen due to the pandemic, and are incredibly grateful for the care and support Dallas, Dave, Nick, and the rest of the ODC team gave us every step of the way + especially throughout the weekend of our big day. The Omaha Event Group and Omaha Design Center have a special place in our hearts. We 100% recommend!

Gorgeous, elegant space with a world class event planner! Our wedding reception vision was brought to life by Katie and her team. Katie coordinated all of the details from the layout, catering, and a ceiling installation. She followed our timeline to a T and we had a perfect party as a result! We loved utilizing multiple spaces in the venue for our cocktail hour, dinner and reception, and after party. The Garden Room and main ballrooms are configurable with chic seating, grass walls for photo ops, and spacious full-service bars. We comfortably hosted 250 guests who had the time of their lives!

When we first found Omaha Design Center, we were in a rush to find a new place because our first venue unexpectedly closed. They were very helpful and willing to work with us to make our day beautiful. Dallas the event coordinator is great to have by your side. She answered every question we had and was willing to help in any way. The only issue we had on the wedding day was the bartending staff otherwise the day was perfect. Would recommend to future brides!

I attended this venue as a guest, and I have to say I was so impressed with this venue! It is my dream to have my wedding here after seeing such a success at my friends wedding. During this time of uncertainty this venue maintained such professionalism and cleanliness. One of the most beautiful venues in Omaha and I highly recommend!

I have emailed 3 times and contacted through knot app twice with no response. I really wanted this to be my venue- but if you want communication and to be given the level or service a bride deserves- RUN.

Emma, we are so sorry for the lack of communication from your original inquiry. As we disc...
ussed a few weeks ago, the individual responsible for your terrible experience has been let go from our company. We understand that you've found another venue, but the rest of our team is very professional and eager to demonstrate that we are not represented by one bad employee. Let's continue talking about how we can remedy the situation.

The venue is absolutely beautiful and honestly will fit your “theme” for your wedding. I had my ceremony and reception there. I loved how the ceremony was in another room and then the reception was in another. They made planning so easy and helped you with every question. They also helped with everything the day of. I loved being able to have Tim as my coordinator. Tim was amazing and fun. He made my day even more special and my guests absolutely loved him too!

We had our winter wedding and reception at the Design Center in Dec 2017 and loved everything! MJ was amazing to work with on setup and Sam, their caterer, served the most delicious food. We got so many compliments on the Venue and it was sooo easy to have everything in one place and be the only people there. The Rooftop photos were so fun too! I would definitely recommend The Omaha Design Center. The only thing we had an issue with was the bartenders not following instructions as to when to open and not to serve shots, hopefully they are getting that straightened out internally though.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue for our wedding a couple of weeks ago! It is absolutely stunning, perfect size for large weddings, and very customizable! We booked with them before a big management change, and they made it so easy! They accommodated everything we were promised and held meetings with us to make sure we didn't fall through the cracks from old management. We received so many compliments on the size and beauty of this venue, it was absolutely perfect!! Thank you Katie and the rest of the ODC team for taken care of such a big day for us and our family's!

MJ/Katie/ODC team were amazing in transforming such a beautiful blank space into our dream wedding venue!! The amentities included are fabulous and the space truly can be transformed into anything you envision. They were very flexible in helping us choose the perfect bar package and even allowed us to be the bartenders for a portion of the night (instead of a dollar dance). I would absolutely recommend ODC to any bride/groom looking to have a beautiful ceremony/reception venue all in one!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at ODC and it was fantastic! The staff was great to work with throughout the planning process especially Katie. She was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. On the day of the wedding, Katie was there and was extremely attentive. She was always making sure there was nothing I needed. The space was fantastic. We only had 120 guests but we were still able to fill the space. The decor was great and made for great photo ops. We were even able to go on the roof for sunset photos. The only thing that was a slight negative was the bride/groom suites were extremely warm. They did have fans in there for us to use, but it was hot. Overall great experience, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a modern event venue!

This place is amazing! We has our wedding there and everything was perfect. The venue is already so beautiful that you don’t need to do a ton of outside decorations. The staff is so wonderful and helpful. They go above and beyond before, during and after the wedding. I couldn’t be happier that we chose this location. All of our guest commented on how beautiful the venue was. I highly recommend.

My brother and his wife got married at the Omaha Design Center this last Sunday 9/4/2016. It was absolutely the best wedding I have ever been to! The Venue was so incredible, they set up all the chairs and stage for the actual wedding ceremony with white curtains that surrounded the area with great lights for decoration! They set up all the tables and stage for the reception and worked with both families the night before and day of to make it perfect for the bride and groom. Not only was the venue gorgeous but the staff definitely made it a great experience. Many of them worked the 14 hours that we were there the day of to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. Robert and Azelia were two of the people who we dealt with most, they helped with all aspects of getting the venue ready for us and also made sure we were all comfortable. I can’t say enough about this venue and the staff involved but they definitely made a night for my family that we will never forget! Thanks Omaha Design Center!

My daughter and son-in-law were recently married at ODC and we had their reception at this venue, too. They were very accommodating and gave us more than originally planned. How often does that happen? Thanks to Azalia and Robert for ensuring we had a great experience. I would recommend this venue for your next event.

We had our reception at the Omaha Design Center. We originally booked when it was the Tip Top Ballroom. The transition between companies was pretty smooth in the beginning. Unfortunately, their event manager was virtually impossible to get ahold of and would sometimes take several weeks to respond to a simple question. It was very difficult having one phone number and one email to one person to be in contact with all that is ODC. We had a lot of questions up in the air as we reached close to the date. She was very sweet and wanted to be helpful, however it seems she is overloaded with customers and requests. It would have been nice to have another contact for easy questions to help the event manager prioritize or get simple issues resolved easily. We felt that several of our requests were not noted or heeded to as we reached the day we could set up and therefore had to go with the flow at that point. While the event manager was very kind and did answer our questions once we got ahold of her, we did not receive much help or offer to fix something when it was not as we had planned. It was very helpful once we gained the contact of Robert Mota. He was exceptional in making sure our event was what we had envisioned and had quick turn around when we had any issues or had things left at the venue after the wedding. We appreciated being able to consistently get ahold of him and his immediate need to make sure any issues were solved and fixed to the best of his ability in such a short time frame. While it was stressful not being able to easily get ahold of the venue, the space truly is beautiful and we had several compliments from our guests and vendors that the venue was gorgeous, spacious, and provided for a wonderful evening. We would recommend the ODC as a reception venue, however, I urge management to come up with a solution to be able to return calls and emails in a more reasonable timeline.

The venue was beautiful and great location. Their event manager did not get back to us in a timely manner with questions. Not sure if it was because we were part of the Tip Top transition or what. The event manager didn't offer to help with anything the night of either. She greeted us and that was it. There was no follow up of any kind.
