Featuring: Seven Willows Venue in Hickman, NE

We have officially entered into the 'ber's, so I suppose that means fall is upon us! Check out this beauty, nestled just 20 minutes south of Lincoln, NE, the brand-new Seven Willows Venue in Hickman offers a stunning countryside location for couples looking for the perfect backdrop to say “I do.” As a wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to capture weddings in some of the most beautiful venues in Nebraska, but this one truly stands out. From the bright, modern architecture of Seven Willows to the lush, peaceful surroundings, this wedding was a photographer's dream.


Venue Details and Preparation

Seven Willows Venue, though newly established, has quickly become one of the most sought-after locations near Lincoln. With its modern barn aesthetic, clean white exterior, and expansive windows, this venue offers a perfect mix of elegance and rustic charm. Whether you’re planning a spring, summer, or fall wedding, Seven Willows can accommodate any season with its beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces.

The bridal suite and grooms suite were thoughtfully designed with soft natural light pouring in, making it a perfect spot for capturing those intimate preparation moments between the couple and their wedding party.


Ceremony Inside or Outside

The outdoor ceremony space at Seven Willows is fantastic, but we live in Nebraska, so it never hurts to have a backup plan. Rain was in the forecast for this early September wedding, thankfully the weather held off. But Seven Willows would have been able to accommodate a show-stopping indoor ceremony had the rain came as it was expected to. With its vaulted ceilings, large windows, and soft wood tones, it offers a serene, bright, and airy atmosphere perfect for exchanging vows. Seven Willows Venue truly excels in providing natural light, which is essential for capturing the organic beauty of a wedding day.


Reception in the Stunning Modern Day Barn

Following the outdoor ceremony, the guests gathered in the reception area, a continuation of the barn’s elegant, modern day barn aesthetic. The reception at Seven Willows was filled with heartwarming toasts, laughter, and dancing well into the evening. The spacious dance floor provided plenty of room for guests to celebrate, and the venue’s natural light made the evening photos absolutely stunning.
