Country Pines

s! They are also great at communicating. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect largely thanks to them!

wedding day. They also catered and the dinner was delicious!

n the country-side even though it's right outside of Lincoln.

ything is covered, make sure to reply to emails quickly and accurately, and the owner is a saint. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married. My only “complaint” (and it’s in quotes because literally no one could change that) is there were a ton of wasps!! So October brides on a warm day beware. My MoH and I had a beer we had trapped some wasps in which was a pretty fun source of entertainment when I would get stressed.

otected under the large porch. They were right! It downpoured at our reception and I had no idea! The heaters where on and everything was dry. They helped us pack up all of our decorations before the storm. Our taco bar was fantastic and everyone loved it. Everything was just beautiful!

of the wedding was perfect. They were set up and on time. Every detail we talked about was correct - add-on for rentals, tables, head table style and amount of chairs, cake table, order for food, amount of people helping, DJ area, billing, etc. We had our ceremony and reception in the same spot. It was well landscaped, great picture opportunities, easy to find, and excellent flow for the space. Their catering was excellent. Food was bountiful and their catering staff ensured tables were cleared as people finished. We’re looking forward to our tasty left overs! Many people complemented how pretty it was and the loved the food! - In short, great price value and we would highly recommend.

ay of our wedding helping with decorations and food preparation. We wanted to look at the site a few times before the wedding and they were willing to let us if there wasn't any prior meeting scheduled. Their food was delicious and they packed up leftovers for us to take home after the reception. It rained multiple times throughout our wedding day, and everyone helped us take care of our decorations that were outside in the elements. Having worked in the service industry for years, it was heart-warming working with people who were so kind and helped us make our day a priority.

to have your ceremony and reception all in one place as well. I Highly suggest having your wedding here.

lutely fantastic and decently priced (compared to other catering services). They offer food tastings prior to the wedding so that you have the opportunity to decide what you like. The one drawback is that you have to cater through them and cannot bring your own alcohol into this venue, but then again this was one less thing to worry about and plan for. They offer table linens, silverware, and utensils for dinner and dessert which most venues do not offer in the rental price. The staff cleaned up the tables and packed the food away right when I asked them to. I also changed the time of serving dinner about a week prior to the wedding date and they were happy to make this arrangement. The owners were very organized and easy to get ahold of whenever I needed to ask any questions via email or phone. The venue was immaculate when I arrived, and the chairs, tables, and linens were all set up in the ceremony and reception areas. The venue allows you to start setting up at 9am and to have the venue until 1am. This is plenty of time to set up and tear down any decorations. Since our wedding ceremony and reception was outdoors, it was important to have an area to get ready. There is a large space upstairs in the "barn" area that's finished and perfect for preparing for the day. I probably had around 20 women getting ready together up there that day! I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely refer them to anyone wanting to have a beautiful wedding. Our wedding was in August, so the foliage in the vineyard was still gorgeous enough to take photos in. Our photographer had a blast out there mid-day and right before sunset. There is also plenty of parking at the venue which was a bonus to not have to make people pay for parking. It's also conveniently located in Airpark (considered a suburb of Lincoln, Nebraska). - about 20 minutes away from the downtown business district.

We could not recommend Country Pines enough!

ave their strict rules (like I was disappointed I couldn't have fireworks at my July 1st wedding, but their business is also a vineyard so it's understandable) but they are laid back and willing to work with you on how you want to decorate, etc. I also loved the amount of space you get. I had 300 guests at my wedding and had no problems on space! But their pricing for what they offer is where I just get stoked to give it rave reviews. The pricing for the venue itself is reasonable. For me (prices may change), it was $1900 from 9am-1am on a Saturday. AND THEIR FOOD. You do have to cater through them if you want dinner (you are allowed to bring in other snacky food that they consider 'dessert' like we had our cake but also brought in a popcorn bar and popsicles). The food tastes fantastic- AND IT'S INCREDIBLY PRICED! It's buffet style so there's a range of prices you can choose from that fits you that just adjusts how many salads or sides, etc. you're allowed to choose. They range from about $12-$23 which is incredible compared to some of the other places I looked at. They even have prime rib as an option in their $23ish range. Needless to say, you will not be disappointed with this venue. But be sure to book early, because they're so incredible, dates go fast!

redibly helpful which was a plus since we did not live in Lincoln. She answered all my questions and was very informative. The day of our rehearsal they were already setting up tables and getting things ready for our wedding the next day, and talked with me to make sure we were all on the same page. The day of the wedding everything was set up perfectly and the staff was very attentive. Make sure to book at least a year or more in advance in order to secure your desired date! They fill up fast and I can see why! Incredibly happy with the venue and couldn't have asked for a better team to work with!

talk about the placement of everything and to get ideas for decorations. I still hear people talk about how great all the food was! I had received barely RSVPs so we guessed on the number of guests and the food ended up perfect! They set up all the tables and chairs and even all the table cloths for us! All the staff was very helpful throughout the day and all the way to the end of the night. There were several problems with other vendors I used but I couldnt be happier with Country Pines! Check them out!

on having. They also have a nice deck/patio for the reception. If it looks like the weather could be questionable, Ben has a tarp to cover the entire patio as well. I liked that everything was there, the ceremony and the reception. Country Pines also does catering, so we didn't have to try to find a caterer. They have a great menu, and the food was delicious!
