Thankfully the weather cooperated for a Nebraska April wedding. The fountain in the front of the main door was a lovely addition. Parking was good, but somewhat limited. Indoor, it had vibes of a quaint Italian village. The decor was set up to look like a little Italian spot, a vineyard, something along those lines. The curved staircase from the top to lower floors made the entrances dramatic. There was a great space to set up food and an open bar. The bartenders were fabulous. The table arrangement worked so well with the dance floor, I was impressed!

For my wedding day before I even got dressed they set up and decorated the entire reception hall. I had leftover flowers they arranged and set out that really completed the space. Throughout the night they kept the event on track, helped with the ceremony rehearsal, and packed up at the end. Guests raved about the views and rustic decor. There is not one critique I could find. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The space was roomy and the presentation screen was big enough to be seen from the back. I also enjoyed the other rooms near the main center as it gave us room to branch off.

The couple had "his and hers" drinks, a margarita for her and a Long Island iced tea for him. I opted for the margarita and the bartender made each individually, shaken, with a salt rim and lime. I couldn't believe how good it was and the quality! For $6! My husband liked the Long Island, too. There's a small outdoor patio area for a ceremony, it was a pretty set up with white chairs and some shading, but not much. It rained the morning of the wedding, and there was an area where the bridesmaids stood that was a bit flooded, so that was a bummer. Inside the set up was beautiful, lots of table space and a dance floor. The food was set up in an adjoining room, a huge area with lots of room for food tables. There was another adjoining room that looked like the bridal getting ready area. Right next door is a convenience store with snacks and drinks while you wait, if you need it!

The owners John and Ray were absolutely fantastic to work with, they were extremely detailed and attentive, which was super helpful since we live in a different state. They were never annoyed with our questions and provided great details, not to mention their package was very competitive given it comes with the food (available for upgrade) and an awesome DJ! We ended up booking our photographer, videographer and the photobooth from the DJ's company and they had the special pricing for castle unicorn as well! It was raining on our wedding day which was not how I would've preferred, but John and Ray immediately switched to the indoor plan B and all of our guests ended up having a blast, and everyone thought the misty view made the ceremony even dreamier! One of our guests was in a wheelchair at the time and called for assistance and the owners arranged it for her right away. If you want a hassle free wedding with a complete package and a super attentive venue to work with, I recommend castle unicorn 200%!

I spent a Saturday morning there with a wonderful group of ladies, ranging in age from our 40s to 80s, and with crafting skills spanning from "I've got this" to "help me, please." The staff? Top-notch. Seriously. They were like crafting superheroes--swooping in with paint suggestions and design tips and even taking over when my creative stress levels hit their peak. And they did it all with a smile and words of encouragement. The store itself is a crafter's paradise. If you can dream it, you can probably make it here--flowers, bows, 3D words, endless embellishments. Me? I had my heart set on a Husker door hanger (because, well, priorities), and I pulled it off with the staff's help! We were there for about 2.5 hours and had a reservation for our group of six, which I'd recommend because this place was hopping. My masterpiece set me back $48.18, and I happily tossed a $5 tip in the jar--honestly, I wish I'd had more cash because the staff was that helpful. I spotted a few other projects I'd love to try... once my art anxiety settles and I start believing in my crafting abilities again. Until then, I'll admire my door hanger and look forward to my next visit to The Makery--where creativity meets encouragement, and even the most hesitant crafter (like me) can leave feeling like a DIY champion!

Not only are they flexible with your membership, but they also offer different pricing options and spaces. There truly is something for everyone. Additionally, the staff is very helpful and kind. I have had nothing but a great experience here and would 100% recommend joining this community to anyone. The community the staff creates makes everyone feel welcome. Whether you join for the coworking or co-warehousing space, you'll enjoy being part of it. Some of the additional perks that make this coworking space great for me include free snacks throughout the building, multiple places to work beyond just the space you rent, and a third floor with a full-size fridge (which they keep clean), along with a microwave, toaster, and air fryer. There is also coffee and tea available to all members, a parking garage option you can add to your membership, fast internet, printer access, secure building access, and 24/7 availability. A perfect place for any entrepreneur or small business!

The dance floor / roller rink area isnt bad. I personally did not roller skate but had plenty of fun watching the kids wipe out or using the supplied walkers like 90 year olds. It had what looked like a full kitchen i sure you can lease out. Our group brought their own food and drinks but still able to use the kitchen to serve up. They had music going and the onsite staff was running that. The skates themselves probably all needed a lil attention. Some were way too tight so they couldn't pivot right. I think it'd be a pretty good venue for a wedding reception, kids b-day or otherwise depending on the cost. Its not too far out of town but still kinda out there. Its easy to get to because there are not many other roads to go down in Underwood. Get out there and have fun!
