Dietz UMC is happy to host weddings and is, in many respects, an ideal wedding chapel both in character and location. Just south of Omaha's Old Market, our church is in close proximity to many excellent restaurants and hotels which in turn offer ideal venues for wedding receptions and post-rehearsal dinners. Trolleys and carriage rides are also in close proximity.
The beautiful building which houses the Dietz congregation was built by the Episcopal Diocese of Omaha in 1888. Our sanctuary offers a storybook setting for your wedding, with classic European stained glass windows, wrought iron gates, and a high, vaulted ceiling. Seating capacity is 250.
Dietz has a full kitchen downstairs with an adjoining fellowship hall available for wedding receptions at no extra cost. A limited number of tables and chairs are available for use. For smaller weddings of less than 50 people, our fellowship hall may be suitable but larger parties may find it unworkable. Dressing suites are available for the couple and their attendants. As a historic building, Dietz is not fully handicapped accessible. Nor are there restrooms upstairs. Consequently, it does sacrifice some convenience in favor of historic charm. Our church does not allow smoking or the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises.
The cost of renting Dietz, for both the rehearsal and the wedding, is $1,000. Rev. Mark M. Richardson, who has officiated at dozens of weddings throughout his 35+ years as an ordained United Methodist minister in Nebraska, offers his services to plan the service and officiate at the wedding for an additional $200. Couples can, however, use their own officiant at no extra cost.
If you're looking for a classic storybook venue for your nuptials, Dietz may be ideal for you. The church calendar is very open and flexible, so chances are good it will be available on the dates you wish to have your rehearsal and wedding. Make your special day memorable and affordable by choosing Dietz.
For a tour of the church, please call Pastor Mark at 402-709-6692 to arrange a showing at your convenience.

"When I searched for wedding venues in Omaha, most churches felt like gymnasiums with Jumbotron screens and cost $3,000-4,000. But Dietz had the beauty and traditional style that I wanted. Its restored stained glass windows and warm woodwork offer a beautiful setting. At a cost of $1000, you will not find a more romantic or reverent venue."
