From 50 to 500 Guests: Choosing the Right Omaha Venue Size
Planning your dream wedding in Omaha, Nebraska begins with making a major decision: picking your venue. When it comes to selecting your wedding venue in Omaha, there is no shortage of venues you can choose from. But how do you choose the right place if it's right for you?
At the Empire Room, we offer a space that is perfect for all types of events, especially for couples who have a smaller to mid-sized guest list. With our special touches to make your day feel intimate, no matter your guest list size, our space will be suited exactly to what you want and the number of guests you have there.
Why Venue Size Matters
Your venue size not only determines how many chairs and tables you’ll need, but also directly impacts the overall flow and atmosphere of your wedding, even down to how your pictures will turn out. It is all influenced by how many people you invite. Too large a venue and your guests will feel less important. Too small a venue and your guests will feel like sardines packed together. But just the right size can completely change how everyone feels.
Omaha Wedding Venue size options
Here’s what you should be looking for when choosing your venue size:
Large Venues (400–500+ guests): Big guest lists are perfect for these spaces. Tends to give you a wow-factor when it comes to the space, but it can feel overwhelming with smaller numbers.
Small Venues (50–100 guests): Your sweet spot for an intimate wedding with a small guest list. It can limit you if you want to add more people to decorate the space a certain way.
Mid-Sized Venues (100–300 guests): This is the standard venue size for most couples and the perfect in-between for overall comfort. It gives you enough space for the ceremony and reception, with added space to dance the night away without making the room feel too big or too small.
We, the Empire Room, fall into the mid-sized venue category, ticking every box for our couples and what they’ve envisioned for their space.
