Historic Charm. Modern Flexibility. Thousands Saved.
Looking for a wedding venue with true character and meaningful savings? The Vintage Ballroom is one of Omaha’s most iconic spaces—originally built in 1887 as the Bemis Brothers Bag Company. The very floors your guests will dance on are the same original wood that once served as a working loading dock over a century ago.
Today, it stands as a restored Omaha landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places—blending historic architecture with modern wedding flexibility.
But what truly sets us apart is not just the history—it’s the freedom.
At Vintage Ballroom, you’re not locked into expensive catering or restrictive bar packages. You can bring your own alcohol and choose your own vendors, giving you the freedom to design your wedding your way—while saving thousands compared to traditional venues.

A Full Wedding Weekend Experience in the Heart of the Old Market
Turn your wedding into more than just a day—make it an unforgettable weekend experience.
Located in Omaha’s historic Old Market, our venue is surrounded by hotels, restaurants, boutiques, and nightlife—all within walking distance. Begin your day at a nearby salon and spa, then take advantage of the area’s natural brick backdrops for timeless wedding photos.
Choose from outdoor ceremony within walking distance at Heartland of America Park or exchange vows inside our climate-controlled historic ballroom. During cocktail hour, guests can relax on-site or explore the neighborhood while your wedding party finishes photos throughout the Old Market district.
When it’s time for your grand entrance, every detail is tailored to your vision. Whether you choose a live band, DJ, or curated playlist, our open vendor policy gives you complete creative control.
Your celebration continues with our in-house photo booth, creating keepsakes your guests will take home from your “destination-style” Omaha wedding.
End the night with a sparkler send-off, a horse-drawn carriage ride, or a walk next door to one of the nearby bars and after-party spots. The celebration doesn’t have to end there—many couples continue the weekend with brunch in the Old Market the next morning.
A Space That Adapts to Your Vision
Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic-inspired wedding within city limits, a boho celebration, or a fully custom themed event, Vintage Ballroom transforms to match your style.
With open loft architecture, exposed brick walls, and original wooden pillars, the space offers a warm industrial backdrop that works beautifully with nearly any design direction.
Every wedding here feels different—because no two are ever planned the same.
