In the City of Omaha there is a building that makes us remember the large minimalist spaces of the best cities in the country. It is like entering a New York loft, with open spaces and the warmth needed to host a big party for family and friends or an event or meeting that will certainly be an unforgettable moment.
It is the Omaha Design Center, a place for social events which has opened its doors to show us what’s inside.
It is located in one of the most trending areas in historic downtown, on 1502 Cuming St.
For many years it was known as the Tip Top Ballroom, but its story changed when the Omaha Fashion Week board noticed its potential as a great location for all type of social events.
Natalie Wallace, Marketing Director for the location, mentioned that Omaha Fashion Week used to have to rent tents and many other things to be able to hold the highly anticipated fashion show in the city. “We spent a lot in heating during March, so it was decided that instead of continuing to spend that money it should be invested into remodeling the Tip Top Ballroom to turn it into the Omaha Design Center.”
The result is astonishing. Very chic concrete floors, massive white walls and a considerable amount of curtains draped in French fabric, with crystal chandeliers that give it a sense of warmth and elegance. It is a location with no walls to separate the area, opting for an open space.
“We can have events for 2,000 people [standing room], 1,500 [theatre style] or more intimate events for 600-700 people or even for only 100 people,” explained Natalie. “We are thrilled because we have several days booked for quinceañeras which will be a new type of experience.”
Natalie’s kind smile, along with her professionalism and experience, make it possible for Omaha to have a prestigious location such as this one which has opened its doors so that those who celebrate a special event in it can enter a dream-like area for their special day.
“What I like the most and what is easy for me to do is help people in their event based on the idea they have in mind. It’s hard for me to think of anything that would be considered difficult to do because I really love what I do,” says Natalie, who said she is happily surprised about how much demand they’re having.
Natalie concluded by highlighting that they’re more than ready to work with the Latino community. “We have bilingual staff, and you can get more information about us online or by calling for an appointment [402.819.8792] so that we can take you on a tour of the location.”
Thanks to all of this, Omaha Design Center is set to become one of the most trendy, elegant and comfortable placed in the region for all types of events.
