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.

*The venue itself is beautiful. It is spacious and well designed. No complaints there…read more *Parking is semi inconvenient but it's okay. There's typically available parking around the area, but crossing the busy streets is a bit dangerous. *The main reason I could not give this venue a 5 star rating was due to our experience with a staff/coordinator named Summer. -This weekend, we had a tight schedule. Pictures, videography, cake, florists, the entire wedding party, and our immediate family had to wait outside of the locked venue long past the time the doors were supposed to be unlocked. It was very difficult to get in contact with Summer, she arrived late, and she arrived with an attitude. She opened the doors and immediately started yelling at the wedding party and other guests. We managed to get past these issues and get to the wedding ceremony on time. We had high hopes that things would simmer down by the time we got back to the venue for the reception. Wrong. -When we came back for the cocktail hour, we had a hiccup with our party bus and the entire wedding party ended up walking two blocks back to the venue carrying drinks, coolers, etc. -not her fault. We arrived to the venue on foot and were welcomed by Summer immediately yelling at each of the guests trying to walk in with their hands full, feet hurting, needing to use the restroom, and overheating. Instead of being a good host -gracious and helpful with the situation- it felt like we were in boot camp. I understand the outside drink policy, but when a party bus breaks down and we all are walking on foot with unopened or empty drinks, and nowhere else to go, you'd expect there to be a bit more grace in the situation and we were instead met with immense hostility. -As the evening progressed, Summer was still visibly on edge (ALL of the guests noticed). The bride & groom ended up pulling her aside and addressing this, in hopes that we could proceed with a peaceful end to the night. Unfortunately, she was not able to lighten up. -During dinner, she had the assignment of dismissing tables to get their food. She watched every guest like a hawk. I can respect being locked in, but this was different. For example: two guests accidentally went to the wrong line to grab food. She watched them from afar, waited until they started filling their plates, pointed & yelled at them in front of everyone, stormed up behind them, patted them both on the shoulders while they're dishing food, pointed across the room to the other line, and stormed off. -The bride & groom also had put in one specific, small, personal catering request (prior to the day of) and she totally blew it. When approached about this she immediately projected her frustrations at the drink situation from earlier (due to the party bus situation) instead of holding herself accountable. -As the evening wrapped up and guests were helping tear down & gather their things, she then kept turning the lights on and off repeatedly, as if that was going to help us speed up the process. I have enough respect for the venue itself and the other staff members to not give this place a 0 star rating, and we did not let any of this ruin our whole night, but I would strongly encourage that they reconsider or reinforce their customer service policies because this treatment was totally undeserved and unacceptable. I hope the bride and groom get a partial refund for the amount of stress and inconvenience from this one coordinator that we were all counting on who ended up being the #1 lowlight of the entire event.

It gives off the modern barn style that is super trendy right now. They had a room for the wedding party to get ready and it was pretty small but still served its purpose. I do like the fact that both the ceremony and the reception were right across from each other so it made it super easy.

I attended an event here (Boomer Radio Sock Hop). The place is very nice. Parking lot would be…read moresuitable for most events, I think, but since there were A LOT of people at this event we weren't able to find a space in the lot. I really liked that there were two separate spaces on this floor, so there was a room where people were dancing to loud music, and another room that was quiet, spacious, and well-lit where people could eat and have conversations. I really appreciated that and it definitely added to my enjoyment of the event. The room where we ate was rather plain (still really nice). The other room was unique and beautiful, and has a patio. A downside is that there is a separate event space downstairs, and if something loud is going on down there you might hear it (and feel the floor vibrate). So that could be really problematic for some events. I also have a complaint about the bathroom. It is quite narrow and cramped. The ladies' room has 5 stalls, which honestly is not enough for a large event, especially since there are only a couple sinks and not a space for a larger mirror. Also - a HUGE peeve of mine - the doors of most of the stalls hang in a closed position, so to see if they are occupied you have to bend over to check if feet are there, in this very narrow space. It's not cool at all, and it's really annoying because the latches are designed in such a way that with a small amount of extra thought put in, they could indicate if the stall is occupied or empty. The building overall has been renovated so nicely and someone really dropped the ball on this aspect. It is a really lovely space, the event was enjoyable. I DEFINITELY appreciated not having to yell to have a conversation; this makes the venue a great place and accessible to groups that include guests who don't want to spend an entire event in a loud room.

Via Farina was serving pizza that night, and I was excited to see my favorite, the Fratello, on the menu. The pizza came out quickly and was just as delicious as always. When we arrived, the place was completely full, so we were added to the waitlist. Even though there was a wait, the hostess was incredibly friendly and made the experience much better. I didn't catch her name, but she recommended several nearby spots where we could grab a drink while we waited. Our table ended up being ready sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The live music was fantastic and really added to the atmosphere. The bar was well organized with only a short wait, even with the crowd. The cocktails were fine, but they didn't stand out as much as the rest of the experience. Overall, this is a beautiful place for a date night, especially if you enjoy live music, great pizza, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Went to see the band Parfait play on a Tuesday evening. Cover was $10 but because they are my…read morefavorite local band I paid it of course. I would have liked to know about the cover before, as this is a "speak easy" vibe so I don't see a lot of promo or content about their events. The drinks are a bit expensive, $6-16 depending what you order. My friend got a margarita and the menu said $13 but it rang up as $16, so that was a bit confusing. Depending on the time you go the seating can be difficult due to the sun setting and it being warmer there was a lot of seats open right in front of the band but it was INSUFFERABLY hot in those spots so we sat in the back. The bussers were great at clearing empty drink cups out of the way. I think it's a very cute space but a bit pricey, it's very fun for a more semi formal date as many people dress nicer for this space.

It's an easy to access location in northwest Omaha at 132nd & Fort and has a large parking lot.

I had opportunity to visit at the recent Festa Italiana which the AIHS hosts every year as their major fundraiser. It was spacious, clean, modern, attractive and I really appreciated the large, clean women's restrooms. I did not see the kitchen but I've heard from a good source (one of the members of the AIHS) that's it's wonderful and since they used it to cook all that food for the Festa, they would know!

The building itself is clean and has a neat design and look both inside and out. I could see why this ranks highly as a venue. The lunch buffet is fairly popular and seems to have a regular crowd. They serve Italian and American fare for the same price as Golden Corral. The ingredients seemed decent, the food looks good, but the taste. Oh the taste! Where have you gone! The service is OK, though me and my buddies had weird experiences with one of their bus boys (not really a boy, more like a 60 year man). It was off-putting to say the least. It gets a big, fat Meh from me, at least for the lunch buffet.

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!
