A striking blend of historic charm and modern design, The Pella at Blackstone is a beautifully restored chapel located in Omaha’s revitalized Blackstone District.

Featuring soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, and arched windows, the upper level offers timeless architectural character, while the lower level—known as The Landing—boasts a bright, minimalist aesthetic perfect for receptions, cocktail hours, and creative event setups.

With flexible floor plans, on-site amenities, and a location just steps from the iconic Cottonwood Hotel, this multi-level venue provides a one-of-a-kind blank space for unforgettable events.

My husband and I got married at the Pella, and we had the most amazing experience! Chad was great and helped us throughout the whole process. Very professional staff, and you could tell they were excited to be a part of our special day. Beautiful venue, reasonably priced, and they use Abraham Catering for food…delicious!

Adiline R.
Thank you for the PERFECT venue for us to throw a giant shin-dig with family and friends. Kara and the entire staff were PHENOMENAL! Thank you for helping us have the wedding of a lifetime! We loved every minute and without a doubt know that much of the day was a success because of how great everyone involved was

Shilo J.
Chad and the entire Abraham Catering team were an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we toured the venue, I felt completely supported and taken care of. Our wedding day was truly magical, and their team played a huge part in that. The space was stunning, the staff was so kind and professional, and the food...WOW! I had multiple guests come up to me during the night saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had and went back for seconds!

Hanna W.
Had our wedding there and the team was great. We ran into absolutely no problems. Up until the day Chad was patient and informative. The food was great and the staff even better. We had a minimalist approach with our decor and the Pella looked amazing. It’s worth even dime you’ll spend. The team will take you of you rest assured!
