We used the lower level of RC for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was the perfect amount of space for our event, is lit beautifully, and we highly recommend it for any event. The hour we got the night before was perfect for a rehearsal and dropping off our decor. Dexi’s communication leading up to our event was 10/10 and the staff on-site the day of were all super helpful throughout the evening.The only piece of feedback I have would probably be to include cave tours in the rental package!

Jennifer Hoffman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2021 We had an intimate ceremony at Robber's Cave followed by a small reception in August. We couldn't recommend using Robber's Cave for your wedding more! Working with Justin was incredibly detail oriented, professional, inclusive, fun, and stress free. He was beyond helpful and made sure that everything ran smoothly leading up to, and day of our big day! Yes Chef is their exclusive caterer, and the food was delicious and the service was great!

Hi Everyone, My name is Austin and I am the Events Director at Robbers Cave. I received my degree in Hospitality Management from UNL and have worked with Yes Chef since graduation. Working as a Catering Manager brought me to Robbers Cave providing amazing customer service to the guests that come through this historical place.

I look forward to working with you and creating an amazing event big or small.
