Since bragging about yourself is awkward, here are some past clients who did it for me:

The Leo Ballroom was wonderful to work with! We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Katie Ticknor, and the rest of the event staff, helped make our day perfect.
Throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding, Katie was incredibly responsive, promptly replying to every email I sent. She was always helpful and thorough, answering all of our questions with care and clarity.
If you're looking for a venue for your wedding, we highly recommend the Leo Ballroom. From their service, to the layout, to the location, it is a five-star venue.

Working with Katie and the Empire Room team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Katie was incredibly accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process — her flexibility and communication made everything on my end run so smoothly.
It’s clear that the Empire Room prioritizes not only excellence in their venue, but also in their people. I’d gladly work with this team again any day. Highly recommend!

Just wanted to give a big shout out to the staff at the Omaha Design Center!
My daughter and son in law just got married there and l it was a great day! They made us feel very special and were there for whatever we needed! If you ever have an event there ask for Katie, she is the best event planner and was so easy to work with!
Thank you Omaha Design Center for making it such a great day! I would highly recommend having your event there!​

We had a fabulous time at the Omaha Design Center for our daughter’s wedding! This selection for our venue turned out to be top notch as we expected it would be! We had been to the venue for many years for Omaha Fashion Week and knew the space well. The venue is wonderful for a large group and they do a great job facilitating the entire event.
Katie, our ODC event manager, was a gem to work with. Always hearing our vision and working to make it come true. She helped to cross check other vendors that we booked for our event as well. The Omaha Design Center is a modern space that can be transformed into any vision. The lighting, chandeliers and pipe and drape in the space are an added bonus as well as the ODC bartending staff. We highly recommend the Omaha Design Center! Beautiful and professional in every way!

Gorgeous, elegant space with a world class event planner! Our wedding reception vision was brought to life by Katie and her team. Katie coordinated all of the details from the layout, catering, and a ceiling installation.
She followed our timeline to a T and we had a perfect party as a result! We loved utilizing multiple spaces in the venue for our cocktail hour, dinner and reception, and after party. The Garden Room and main ballrooms are configurable with chic seating, grass walls for photo ops, and spacious full-service bars. We comfortably hosted 250 guests who had the time of their lives!
