Who we are

Welcome! We’re Chris & Krystle, the husband-and-wife team and proud owners of The Fireside Banquet Room. While you’ll often see Krystle managing the day-to-day operations, she's also your dedicated event coordinator, here to guide you through every step of planning.

Krystle grew up in sunny Cocoa Beach, Florida, and served 10 years in the U.S. Air Force. Chris proudly served 12 years himself and is a Papillion-La Vista High School alumnus (Class of ’05). The Air Force gave us the adventure of a lifetime—we met while stationed in England, both spent time living in Okinawa, Japan and eventually made our way stateside. We got married in beautiful Bend, Oregon, before planting roots in Chris’s hometown of Papillion.

These days, our family includes one energetic daughter, a lovable golden retriever, and a shared passion for traveling, experiencing new cultures, and finding the best food wherever we go.

Our goal is simple: to create a space where neighbors, friends, and families can gather, celebrate, and make memories that last a lifetime. As a woman- and veteran-owned business, we bring the same dedication, organization, and attention to detail from our military service into every event we host—with a friendly, personal touch that makes you feel right at home.
