Karen's Fireside

The Fireside Banquet Room is a woman- and veteran-owned event venue in Tara Plaza in Papillion, Nebraska. The 2,800-square-foot banquet space accommodates up to 100 guests and is suited for weddings, bridal and baby showers, graduation parties, corporate events, anniversary celebrations, and other milestone gatherings. Owned and operated by Chris and Krystle — a husband-and-wife team who each completed over a decade of military service — the venue carries a commitment to precision and personalized attention into every event. Krystle serves as the dedicated on-site event coordinator, guiding clients from booking through event day. The venue welcomes outside caterers (a valid food license is required) and provides refrigeration, freezer, and warming equipment on-site. A limited bar offering top-shelf spirits, beer, and wine is available, and a decoration collection is offered to guests at no charge. The space is ADA compliant, with accessible doors and restrooms throughout.
