Do you include a “wedding day coordinator”?
Wedding day planners & coordinators are amazing to have! While we provide certain coordination regarding vendor arrangements, security, and bar service - our duties stop short of what an official planner handles. There are lots of great ones in Omaha and we’d love to hook you up, just ask! Their services are affordable and a terrific way to reduce the stress!
Here’s what we do:
Schedule vendor deliveries, setup, and removal
Ensure venue is ready for your event
Works with your Planner, if you engage one
Unlimited monthly open house visits
Custom venue design and layout
Support for your Online Wedding Planner
Mandatory final planning meeting
On-site event day
When can we decorate?
Day of event. Access to the venue starting at 8:00am at no-charge.
Day prior to event. Setup is allowed one day prior to event, when available, for an additional fee. Availability is determined 30-days from booked event.
Can we use real candles?
Yes! We think candles look beautiful in the.diamond.room! The only rule is that they must be contained flames - votive, cylinders, lanterns are all ok! Stick candles that could tip and start a table on fire are not! Please know that you’ll just need to pick a few special people to light them for you prior to your event if you haven’t arranged it with another vendor.
Can we bring in our own appetizers/late-night snacks?
Yes, as long as you choose one of our caterers for your main meal - a self-serve/maintained snack table is great - anything is possible. Just check with your venue manager before arranging it (especially Food Trucks).
If you bring in food from other than one of our caterers, you are responsible for set-up and clean-up!
What are we responsible for cleaning up at the end of our event?
During the final 30 minutes of your event rental time, the bar & music must end, and you will be responsible for packing up anything that you brought in yourselves. (photos, centerpieces, gifts, seating charts etc.) Your individual vendors will take care of their items themselves. After your 30 minutes have expired, the building will be locked by our security so you, your guests and all belongings must be out by that time. Clean-up is another terrific reason to hire a coordinator! (we can help with suggestions as this service is highly recommended to lighten the stress load!)
What happens during the month of June?
Our venue proudly hosts College World Series merchants during the month of June and we are closed for tours and events.. We are available via email and phone!
