How many guests can The Acreage venue hold?

Do you have any preferred caterers? Do you allow drop off catering?

​

We haven't chosen any vendors to partner with. We want to ensure anyone that partners with the acreage performs with as much class and expertise as we strive to offer.

We require a full service caterer, no drop off catering. This is a caterer who provides bussing, set up, clean up, and stays throughout the event. The caterer of your choice MUST have a valid Nebraska caterers license.

​

Can I bring outside food or drinks?

​

You may NOT bring any alcoholic beverages on site as our liquor license does not permit it. All beverages for your guests must be supplied though The Acreage, not a caterer. Dinner must be supplied by a licensed caterer.

Let the spirits begin whenever you choose. Please keep in mind that you only have the bar open for the designated number of hours that you selected in your liquor package.

No alcohol? No problem! We do, however, have a $1000 fee for all dry bars.

​

Are Fireworks allowed?

​

Fireworks are not permitted on site. We made this rule out of respect for our animals who live on site, and to be courteous to our neighbors.

​

Do you require a Day of Venue Coordinator?

​

Lucky you, this is included too! However, The Acreage does require two additional contacts for the day of. These persons will be responsible for closing out with the venue at the end of the night with our checkout list. These contacts will be the main contacts to help vendors throughout the day, be available to our on site coordinator for any ceremony or reception details and support clean up at the end of the night by ensuring everything is out of the ballroom one hour after your event is complete.

​

Does The Acreage staff help set up or tear down décor?

We do not offer any decorating services at this time. The set up and tear down of décor will be your responsibility. An additional $500 clean up fee will be added for décor not removed prior to the end of your rental time. That is, unless you choose to let us purchase your décor with our Décor Dump.

​

What is the Décor Dump?

​

We will buy your décor from you after your event! Allow us to take your center pieces and other décor items off your hands so you don't have to transport it, sell it, etc. We will evaluate your décor the day of the event and present you with a custom quote on it. If you agree, all you have to do is leave your décor behind and we will add the purchase price into your deposit refund.

On the flip side, as a client of The Acreage, you will have FREE access to our entire inventory to use at your wedding or event.
