Waconda Woods & Gardens Event Venue

Looking for a memorable turnkey event space to call your own? This property has been home to a highly rated event venue perfect for weddings, corporate events and all types of celebrations. The main event barn is 4,400 square feet consisting of connected reception areas, a catering room, storage and commercial grade bathrooms which can be customized to each event’s unique requirements. The current owners were meticulous in carving out the perfect setting options for outdoor ceremonies where guests are surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature. Additional features include beautifully renovated and historic wedding party suites, permits for 6 glamping sites, and access to miles of outdoor trails nestled among rolling hills of woods. The beauty of this property must be experienced in person! The Nebraska State Fire Marshal has the venue zoned for 300 people. Only 35 minutes from downtown Omaha and 15 minutes from Nebraska City, guests will have easy access to hotel options and additional activities or entertainment. This venue truly is one-of-a-kind! Awards In 2021, 2022 and 2023 WaConDa Woods & Gardens won 'The Knot' Best of Weddings and The Wedding Wire's Couples Choice Awards. Future Opportunities In 2024, WaConDa Woods & Gardens received approval for glamping cabins throughout the property. The new owner would not need to restart the Cass County permitting process for either the existing event venue or the approved glamping cabins. Schoolhouse The Schoolhouse (1,200 sq ft) on the property is truly its most charming gem. It was built in 1882 and students from both Nebraska City and Conestoga attended school there. It was decommissioned in 1992. Now the renovated Ervin Schoolhouse is a bridal suite (a registered landmark with the Cass County Historical Society) with beautiful landscaping throughout the property. Horse Barn The Horse Barn (1,500 sq ft) is where the groomsmen get ready. A newly built bathroom inside the Horse Barn along with 2 horse stalls make this space both useful and charming. Reception Barns The Reception venue includes two large, connected reception areas (4,400 sq. ft.), along with an attached private catering room and a storage/staging area. The bathrooms are capable of handling 300 people for events. New epoxy flooring and pipe and drape on the walls bring this space to a new level. Tables, Chairs, Tents and Decor Included in the sale is extensive decor, allowing customers a one-stop shop for their event needs. This includes enough tables and seating for 200 people and two white wedding tents (10x20 foot and a 20x40 foot). Whether you are looking for a venue to operate or a recreational property with the infrastructure in place, the opportunities are endless.
