Named to Omaha's historic landmarks in 1999, the Livestock Exchange Building is a romantic setting that dates back to 1926, when it served as the center of the livestock industry in Omaha. Originally designed as a multi-purpose building, the Livestock Exchange Building housed offices, a bakery, cafeteria, kitchen soda fountain, cigar stand, telegraph and telephone offices, apartments, sleeping rooms, a clothing store, ballrooms and a convention hall. The Livestock Exchange Building has two magnificent ballrooms located on the 10th floor, with 22-foot ceilings and an elegant Romanesque and Northern Italian Renaissance Revival style.
The North Ballroom has a built-in bar, stage, hardwood floors, and can accommodate up to 350 guests. The South Ballroom has a balcony and a large dance surface accommodating up to 250 guests. Both ballrooms have a spectacular view, and there is plenty of onsite free parking. The Livestock Exchange Building is a full-service facility. Brandeis Catering provides all the food, beverage and service staff. Also, at no additional charge, we provide tables, chairs, dance area, ivory or white tablecloths, skirting, linen napkins, mirror tiles and votive candles. Our event planners work with our chef to help you select from our extensive menus, to create an event that your guests will be praising for years to come. Our professional staff handles every detail, no matter how small, so you will have the worry-free event of your dreams. Please call our office to get room rental rates and to schedule a personalized tour of the ballrooms.
