I've attended several events at Luli Creative House, and every time I walk in, I'm reminded how…read morespecial this space is. Most recently, I was there for a career development and networking event, and it was the perfect setting--creative, vibrant, and welcoming. The owners go above and beyond. They not only allow you to bring in your own food and beverages (a huge plus!) but they also stick around during the event to make sure everything runs smoothly and you have what you need. That kind of support really sets them apart. The space itself is absolutely stunning--full of bold color and personality, but also super versatile. There are a variety of photography backdrops that make it easy to create professional content or just capture fun moments with friends. Whether it's a business gathering, creative workshop, or social celebration, Luli Creative House is a gem in Omaha for hosting something truly memorable.

It's really like watching the Wizard of OZ and then suddenly entering a world of color. The space is vibrant, but not overwhelming or overstimulating, all the colors are pleasing and go well together. There really isn't a spot that isn't instagram-able, or cozy. With plenty of seating from the gorgeous green couch, to the white sofa, to sitting chairs, and tables, this is a space sure to spark creativity. It's a great venue to book for really any occasion. From birthdays, to showers, rehearsals, or photo shoots, Luli has really created a space for everyone.

I recently hosted a party there and the venue was awesome and affordable. Jody who manages the…read morespace is super helpful, nice and great to work with. And it is also conveniently located right off I-680 at the 30th street exit. My party was a retirement party, so it was adult only and I opted for Cash bar instead of providing alcohol. This was the best decision I made, beers were only $2 and top shelf Hennessy was about $5, we just had to pay for the bartender during the hours of the event only, which was a very reasonable price. All I had to do , was get in decorate and set up food. At the end of the night, I was only responsible for getting all of my stuff out and taking out the trash, no wiping down tables or sweeping floors. I cannot wait to find another reason to host a party there.

Laura and Tracy are awesome and ready to help if you let them.

Side note they do have fruit trees so it was a few flies outside the gate taking pictures and inside the courtyard

I came here a few times over the summer. First time I came I was with a group of 5. We were able to…read morebe seated pretty quickly as soon as everyone was there (we were told everyone needs to be there to be seated). They even brought out additional seating to accommodate our group. The second time I went it was for a date night and we were seated very quickly. I love this space and love the live music. It can get loud, depending on where you sit. They also sell cigars. I didn't see too many people smoking them, but something to know if you're sensitive to that or interested in a place that sells them. There was a cost sheet for events on one of the tables we happened to pass. Overall this was a great place and I would definitely consider hosting an event here or coming back during the season.

My favorite part was the 'speakeasy hallway', which is dimly lit in green with a lot of comfy couches to rest on after a long night of dancing. Parking wasn't too hard to find.

There are lots of little touches here and there that are very unique and a nod to the past. I love the creaky wood floors and they've done an excellent job of keeping as much of the original architecture and building intact. You definitely feel like you're stepping into a bygone era. They had a full bar and very decent drink prices. I would definitely rent out this venue if I needed a space in the future.

Depending upon your event, there are a couple of areas to choose from, and the outdoor space is simply beautiful. What made this review a 3 instead of a 5 is two things: 1) Parking. It's on-street and not plentiful near the venue. When I attended, I did a terrible thing (because I got so frustrated with driving around the blocks for parking); I parked on the sidewalk. Not the best choice, I admit. Now I know to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of any event there. 2) The chairs. HORRIBLE. I attended a theatrical production as part of the Great Plains Theatre Conference. Including announcements, the production lasted 90 minutes--90 excruciating minutes. To make sure it wasn't just my reaction, I looked around. What I discovered was an audience of so many people moving, bending, adjusting, and re-adjusting in their seats. It's as if the owners of 40th Street said, "What are the cheapest, most uncomfortable chairs on the planet? Yep! Let's buy those!!" If you attend an event here in which you will be sitting for longer than 20 minutes, bring a seat cushion with you. If you've read some of my other reviews, you'll note that I'm unforgiving when it comes to uncomfortable seating. This venue had the worst by far. The owners should eat their own dog food and sit in those chairs for at least half an hour just to experience what their guests are experiencing. That said, if you're looking for a place to hold an event--and you want something out of the ordinary and memorable--I recommend 40th Street Theatre. If you're a business and want a get away event where your employees can have some nosh and network, I think it's great for that. Standing, chatting, mixing, mingling--40th Street Theatre hits a home run for that.

It's very open and airy - with almost an industrial feel in the wooden beams and concrete floors. I attended/was a bridesmaid at a wedding here, and everything went off without a hitch. The dance floor is large, there's lot of space to walk around and mingle even if you're not dancing, and the bathrooms were nice and clean (which isn't the case at most big events). I could see this being a good option for a wedding, reunion, corporate event, or anything you might need a large event space/rental for.

For the wedding I attended the space was used very well. A Photo booth tucked in one corner, lots of space between the tables, and a good amount of room for dancing and stuff on the stage as well. The other side of the room had a buffet and a bar which was not cramped at all. Check out their Facebook page- this is likely an underrated event space that's not on everyone's radar due to location since it is off the beaten path but the lofted open ceilings and brick walls are so beautiful.

I must say they do a great job with backdrops for the head table and first dance. My only note is that the group that was around 200, was still not at capacity and walking around in the room was a total nightmare. I could barely get around as the photographer, and the guests were dealing with the same. The round tables were cramped as well. I would highly suggest less than 150 people in this venue if you want to be able to move at all! Overall though, great experience. Never met anyone besides servers that worked there, no wedding planner or anything, which worked out but would have been good to have a contact person with the venue incase something was needed as the photographer.
