This was after making the decision to cancel our 1st ceremony site & reception venue due to needing more space. It was definitely meant to be, because they had our date open in just that short amount of time. Both Nancy, Shelby & staff, were so accommodating & fantastic to work with! It was so convenient to be able to have our rehearsal dinner at the same location, as well as getting ready in the beautiful log house for the ceremony. There was absolutely no stress the day before, or day of the wedding. No matter if you have your own decorations, or use theirs, they take care of everything and set up for you! It was beautiful and dreamy... everything and more that we ever thought it would be. We more than recommend this venue for anyone who is considering a barn type of setting for your special day! It is both elegant and rustic, all in one.

I was an out of state bride (Lincoln though is Home) and working with Starr, mostly virtually, was so easy. Then when I was in town she always allowed me to visit so we could plan decor. I ended up doing my ceremony in the same space and the team was amazing re-staging for the reception. The food was good, the staff was nice and again the space is just so pretty-- and a great location especially having a lot of out of town guests. Close to hotels and bars/restaurants for guests to enjoy during their visit. The minor things are there are some dings on the walls and some of the carpet is worn and threads coming loose but again over all I had a great experience and so did my guests!

Not only will you not regret this decision, you (and all of your wedding guests) will cherish the memories you make dancing to their music for years to come. TDC had family members from 13 to 85 on the dance floor, and friends from all corners of our lives (and the country, for that matter) dancing together like they've known each other a lifetime. And with good reason: the vocals, the instruments, the energy, EVERYTHING, was perfect. They also made sure the evening went just as planned--down to the minute--without a single hiccup. Our wedding day was nothing but a dream, in large part thanks to TDC. Our experience with TDC was also incredible in the months leading up to our wedding. Ether was a dream to work with: he answered every question we had (FAST, too), helped us develop the perfect timeline, and learned enough about us from our conversations and form responses to curate the PERFECT set list with the band for wedding day. For all you out there planning, I know all the logistics can be stressful, but working with TDC takes a significant amount of that burden off your shoulders. To have TDC with us and our friends and family on wedding was worth every single penny, and the memories we made are utterly priceless. We will never forget the joy you brought us, Downtown Collective! THANK YOU! PS: We strongly encourage you to have a private last dance. TDC will make this unforgettable, too.

The instrumentation and arrangements were spot on. Their outgoing spirits fit right in with our friends and family. Months before the wedding, Ether sat down with us to choose songs and arrangements that we wanted them to play. They did a special arrangement for the father-daughter dance that I will never forget. Everything was perfect. I will remember Downtown Collective and how special they made our day for my entire life. Thank you :)

"Good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings."…read more As I am writing this, Yelp has an incorrect listing for this building. It is actually located at 201 N. 7th St. in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket District. This location is good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings. It is part of an historic train depot , which has since been turned into a Great Hall. It's run by Premier catering. According to their website: - Located in the Haymarket - Beautiful Marble Floors - 19 Foot High Ceilings - Seats up to 425 - Total Meeting Space - 6,100 sq. ft. - Total Number of Meeting Rooms - 1 - Food/Beverage Capabilities - Yes - Total Number of Sleeping Rooms - 0 Photos & a floorplan are also available here: http://www.premiercatering.net/lincolnstation.htm I've been to many different events here, & they all seemed to run smoothly. TIPS: - For out-of-towners, several nice hotels are within walking distance (even in 4" heels - just watch the cobblestone!). - For newlyweds - the Haymarket is a favorite place for outdoor wedding photos. - Bring cash. If there's an ATM inside, I can't find it. - If you're early to an event here, walk a block north & check out the water tower courtyard, brick relief of a train, & the old "retired" trains behind the building. There's also a train jungle gym for kids who need to run out some energy. - Excellent locally breweed beer & homemade ice cream next door, at Lazlo's & Ivanna Cone, respectively. - Use the south doors on the east side of the building. (next to the bronze guy on the bench) The entrances to the ballroom are often locked on the other side during events.
