HELP! Everywhere I call has crazy prices. We are having a small wedding under 100 guests & need somewhere to have our reception. Any ideas for anywhere in Omaha/Council Bluffs Area will do. I need a place that I can cater myself, I just need the space, tables, & chairs.

    I'm not sure about your price but Scottish Rite is absolutely beautiful. We attended a wedding there a year and a half ago and the couple was able to bring in their own caterers and bar/alcohol. They are right off 20th and Dodge in Omaha. A View West  off 156th and Maple is a really pretty place, too, but again, I'm not sure on the price you'd be willing to spend. Good luck :-)

    I am booking Scottish Rite for my 2013 wedding. It IS so beautiful and I love how much I'll be saving on food and alcohol, but it is $2000 to rent, not including linens, security, etc. I definitely had to re-budget a few things in order to afford this place, but I can't imagine having it anywhere else now!

    If you're looking for cheaper option, my cousin had her reception at Legacy Hall. Her wedding was small and SUPER budgetted, but it was a nice place. Also, I have heard that Royal View Hall allows self-catering. Hope this helps and good luck!

    Have you looked into VFW or Legion Halls? They are usually reasonable, just need more decorating.

    I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but I did mine at the ackerhurst dairy barn. The rental is $800 for space, tables and chairs and you bring in your own food and alcohol.

    You may also want to try the Regency Park and Tennis. It's very beautiful and inexpensive.

    Omaha Parks and Rec (any location) is super affordable: http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/parks/rentals/pavilions. I'm thinking of doing that and then just renting the linens and other items I need but will see how it works out. Otherwise, I would recommend just doing it in the basement of the church if you're doing a church wedding!

    Not sure about them yet, but Bayliss Park Hall in CB has $450 for a reception on their website. Again, haven't called, but I hope it works out for you!

    My name is Stephanie ... If you have not yet booked a Reception Hall, I represent a GEM that you might not even know about. We are approximately 1/2 way between Omaha and Lincoln, just a minute or two off the interstate. Our Reception Hall seats 450 Banquet Style. We have a full bar right inside the Hall for your guests. You can make it a cash bar, or WHATEVER you prefer (You will not be able to provide your own alcohol... it would be sold from our bar to your guests (or a tab would be run for you if you prefer an open bar scenario) . For an extremely reasonable rental fee of only $800, we provide the banquet tables, chairs, linens (your choice of black or white), soft drinks (including soda, lemonade, iced tea, coffee) , and 2 bartenders (our bartenders work for tips) for the night. We will set up the tables and chairs to your specifications AND we will do the clean-up at the end of the night. You can bring in your own caterer (your caterer would need to provide us with a 20% gratuity, based on their bill to you) or we have a couple of GREAT caterers that would LOVE to provide you with a quote. The decorating would be your responsibility. I realize this is very INFORMAL and limited information, but if you would like to learn more (or you would like to see our facility) , you can message me here. Also, if you have friends or family planning a wedding in the Omaha/Lincoln area, we do offer a $100 cash referral bonus if they book with us and let us know that you referred them. Thank You and we wish you Marital Bliss
