Choosing a wedding venue is one of the first and most important steps in wedding planning. The venue sets the tone for your wedding day, affects your guests experience at the wedding, and will ensure that your day flows smoothly. Having your wedding is at an ideal location makes all the difference! Lincoln, Nebraska, has not been home to a lot of wedding venues, especially for large weddings, until recently. However, five stunning new venues have popped up in the past couple of years offering couples a luxury wedding in the heart of the midwest.
