Everyone at The Farnam was professional, friendly, welcoming, and beyond helpful--Especially Sarah Wynn. She helped us plan every detail of the day and really took charge when it came to coordinating with vendors. leading up to the day, I didn't feel that any detail was left out. The day of, all members of the team were so helpful in getting everything set up and handled every conflict calmly and with efficiency. The day was beyond what I could have imagined and it wouldn't have been without everyone at the farnam--from the bellhop, to Sarah the incredible coordinator, to the desk staff handing champagne on check in, to the chauffeur who escorted us around Omaha for photos. They were all amazing people to work with and treated us so special.

The Farnam was a stunning venue for my wedding ceremony and reception. We loved the staff we worked with, they were very responsive to concerns and were so helpful with logistics, detail planning, and helped make sure we were actually able to enjoy the event rather than be worried about logistics. Working with Sarah for event coordination and Sam for room blocks/reservations was great, both were so patient and helpful! We loved the "all inclusive" aspect to the Farnam and definitely recommend it to others who are looking for planning a fun event!

You definitely get your moneys worth here. We are already planning on going back for our anniversary in a year.

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience at The Farnam Hotel!
Our wedding at The Farnam Hotel was nothing short of perfect, and we owe so much of that to their incredible team. From the very beginning, Sarah was outstanding – she was thorough, attentive, and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. It didn’t take long for her to feel like a best friend guiding me through every step of the process. On the big day, Hope was equally amazing. She took care of every detail with a smile and made sure everything ran smoothly for us and our guests. I truly can't express enough how happy we are with how everything turned out. If I could relive this day over and over again, I absolutely would. Thank you to Sarah, Hope, and the entire team at The Farnam for making our wedding day unforgettable!

I can’t believe how smooth the planning process was and what a non stressed bride I could be thanks to Sarah and Pat at the Farnam. I stayed in the billionaire suite the night before the wedding with my sister and all of my bridesmaids came in the morning to get ready together! There was plenty of room for 8-10 of us without issue and Sarah helped us get an extra mirror to the room which was a huge help! We also came back to our hotel after our wedding to a bottle of champagne and chocolate strawberries. The service was impeccable and our guests were constantly commenting on how helpful and attentive the staff were. We had so much fun creating our custom drink and menu. We truly had the best day ever. We felt like celebrities every time we walked in the doors of the hotel and could not recommend this venue more. The Farnam exudes excellence and attention to detail. It will be forever special to us!

The Rosewater Ballroom within The Farnam Hotel is without a doubt stunning. The room has floor to ceiling windows with gorgeous views of Downtown Omaha, beautiful and adjustable lighting, and modern, upscale interior.
The service is always exceptional at this hotel, and that doesn't fall short when they put on weddings. We worked with Sarah and her team and they were all wonderful. Sarah, especially, was extremely helpful every step of the way. She is efficient, organized, has amazing recommendations and suggestions, and is truly wanting to make sure you have the perfect day. She was so thorough with every detail. Everything ran so smoothly, from Cocktail Hour to Dinner Service. The entire event staff was so kind and our guests had a great time.

We recently had our wedding at the Farnam, and it was incredible and beautiful. The staff was so friendly but also professional. They listened to our vision and what we had in mind for our big day. They delivered an excellent service. The food was delicious and our guests felt welcomed and enjoyed themselves.
My groom and I thoroughly enjoyed the planning process as well. Even after the event, the staff was so helpful to us - ensuring our belongings and decorations were kept safe and the staff helped while we packed everything.
Our honeymoon suite was beautiful and our coordinator left us a sweet note and treats. Those little details added to our overall experience.
I recommend this venue for any event, especially weddings.
Thank you The Farnam Autograph!

We cannot thank Sarah Wynn at the Farnam hotel enough for all she did to make our wedding day so special. She was attentive, organized and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. I highly recommed The Farnam Hotel and Sarah Wynn to anyone looking for a stress free and unforgettabe experience.

We had our wedding this year on May 18th at The Farnam. Prior to the wedding we had stayed at The Farnam and absolutely loved the hotel and its aesthetic. We met with Sarah, one of the managers there, and felt instantly at ease with how organized she was. She went over all the details and options for their weddings and gave us a tour of the property. The design/building speaks for itself, but its the people that worked there that really made us decide that this would be our wedding Venue. During the planning process we met with several other people including their chef, bar manager, bartenders, and others like Steven, Irv, and Hope. Everything about our wedding turned out perfect, and we cannot recommend The Farnam enough. We are so happy to have a hotel to come back to on a regular basis, to relive all of our great memories from the day of our wedding. We would highly recommend having your wedding at this hotel, and dealing with all the wonderful people there. Kuddos to everyone involved in the planning process, but especially Sarah, Hope, Steven, and Irv. Thank you for all your help, and we hope others have the pleasure in dealing with that team during their wedding planning process. If you plan to have your wedding in downtown Omaha, The Farnam should be on the top of your list.

The Farnam Hotel is a beautiful venue in downtown Omaha. The location across from Gene Leahy Mall was great for out of town guests. We took lots of pictures around the hotel. Their decor is so unique. Sarah Wynn was amazing to work with; she was very prompt in her communication; offered suggestions when asked; if she didn't know the answer to something, she'd find someone who could help. The service provided during the wedding was truly about the bride and groom and whatever we needed; the staff was always smiling and willing to help. The food was great at our food tasting and just as good at our wedding (we heard several compliments regarding how good the food was). The Farnam is a bit more expensive when everything is all said and done (it all adds up quickly), but very worth it if you have the money to spend.

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!

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!

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. A heartfelt Thank you to Sarah and staff.

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.

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!

Our day could not have been more perfect and we would recommend the Farnam to everyone! Everyone we came in contact with seemed to have one goal in mind, which was to make the day as easy and close to our vision as possible. In particular, Darby was timely, communicative, organized, and invested in our experience. If we were to do it all over again, we would choose the Farnam again and again!
