Holds ceremonies and receptions
The Scottish Rite Ballroom by Venue is a stunning venue for weddings in Lincoln, NE. Located in the historic Scottish Rite Masonic Center just blocks from the Nebraska State Capitol, this venue offers everything you need, from a gorgeously decorated interior to full catering services.
You and your partner can celebrate your wedding at The Scottish Rite Ballroom by Venue, whether it's a smaller, intimate gathering or a wild, lavish affair of up to 800. The ballroom capacity is reduced for a seated event but can still accommodate 525 people. As they sit, guests' eyes will be drawn to the opulent chandeliers and uplighting on columns illuminating the room, casting long shadows on the abundance of columns and archways. An electronic fireplace and original wooden dance floor add to the cozy, sophisticated atmosphere and vibe. A built-in stage means you can arrange for the DJ or band of your choosing to sit front and center and provide the soundtrack to your special day. You can amplify the music by combining it with the HD projector and screen to stream videos or photographs throughout the evening.
There is so much for your closest friends and family to do during the downtime between the rehearsals and the real thing. Located at the heart of the Centennial Mall, the Scottish Rite Ballroom is within walking distance of several local buildings and sports arenas, from the State Capitol and the Historic Haymarket to the Pinnacle Bank Arena and Memorial Stadium. Your ceremony and reception will help write the next chapter in the history of this timeless wedding venue.
