Nebraska has a tremendous variety of wedding venues, all beautiful. One that I don’t want you to miss out on is Lilac Hill in Nebraska!
Lilac Hill is a beautiful venue full of history and dreams. The location of Lilac Hills is 14704 156th Street. It features a Sears catalog home, barn, and two sheds built in 1937. That occurred through the Dietrich family, who originally ran the property as a farm. However, they luckily left the now nearly 200-year-old oak, walnut, and cottonwood trees. Don Maxon bought the property in 1983 and began remodeling the house, restoring the original craftsman-style woodwork and trim.
He moved his wife and family to the property in 1986 and started planting hundreds of flowers on this 80-acre farm plot. Beverly, Don’s wife, suffered a brain aneurysm and strokes in 2001, leaving him to care for her at home. He tended to Lilac Hill until he was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant melanoma in 2014. Don passed away in 2015, leaving Lilac Hill to his wife and children. They have worked hard to keep this special place peaceful and beautiful while bringing it to you and the public as an event venue!

Lilac Hill is 80 acres of beautiful gardens and features a 6,400-square-foot barn that can host as many as 250 people. Maxon and his family had planted over 400 species of daylilies and irises, 500-600 lilacs, and hundreds of blue spruce, hostas, hydrangeas, crabapples, and redbuds. All this greenery allows you to enjoy and create a special, unique, and beautifully designed wedding venue.
No matter where you go, throughout the wonderous gardens and trails of Lilac Hill in Nebraska, you will find stunning spots to take perfect pictures. The opportunities are endless! The barn creates a magical, warm environment with rustic backdrops. At the same time, the gardens provide an ethereal and colorful environment. There is a lot of fresh light and many florals to choose from as a focal point!

Lilac Hill in Nebraska has quite a few wedding packages and items included with your wedding, regardless of what package you choose. Lilac Hill consists of the following: indoor and outdoor chairs, tables, linens, set up, security guard during alcohol service, 2 hours of rehearsal time, outdoor power solutions for the outdoor ceremony, access to Lilac Hill decorations, access to the property for engagement photos, use of the entire 80-acre property for event photos, 65 inch LED TV for media presentations during the reception, an on-site manager, bartenders, and trash removal with the cleaning of the facility.
Another one of the venue’s wedding packages is called the Ceremony & Reception package. This venue offers a full-day rental of the facilities from 10 AM to 12 AM, 8’ rectangular tables and white linens, and decorative chairs indoors for up to 250 people.
