My husband and I were the first to say our vows under the handcrafted pergola that now sits overlooking Clara Pond at Avalon Keep. Michael’s decades of experience photographing weddings gives him an eye for details that many others would miss and, as a bride, I was so grateful! Years later, I still received compliments about how beautiful our wedding was. I love seeing how he continues to beautify the venue. We’ve also been able to have family photos made there and even take nature hikes with our kids. I hope many others will know Avalon Keep as a place to make treasured memories with their families.

Rocky Top Falls was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their team was responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful in ensuring all of our needs were met.

Horsehead Lake Lodge and Event Center was an incredible venue for our wedding. You absolutely can not beat the views here. The fact that you can rent it out all weekend and have your whole wedding party stay on site makes planning and coordination of the wedding so easy (we had 10 guys and 9 girls stay the night along with rented out the 3 waterfall cabins for our family). The sweetheart cabin for after the wedding is a perfect addition to spend the wedding night for the newly weds! From the moment we first reached out, the staff was great at communicating and responding to all of our questions. They were so helpful throughout the entire planning process, and we could not have asked for a better team to work with. The quality of their work and the value they provided was beyond amazing and everything exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the team at Horsehead Lake Lodge for helping to make our special day absolutely perfect.

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • No venue-provided food services
When I tell you my experience with Plentywoods was incomparable I mean it. The following categories were my deciding factors in choosing a venue: Staff/owners: Incredibly friendly & helpful, always available to answer all 1,000 of my questions! It’s a family affair with them and they TRULY care about their couples. Venue itself: One word? GORGEOUS. The interior was so carefully thought out & planned - they truly thought of every detail! From the color tones of the ceiling & wood to light fixtures & floors - every style of bride would be happy here, from rustic to modern! My “boho ethereal” meshed perfectly with their finishes! The upstairs double barn doors to the landing atop the curved grand staircase gave us the most amazing grand entrance into our first dance! The sleek modern garage doors brought in plenty of light & convenience with a patio happy hour. The main hall itself is a beautiful setting for an indoor everything wedding or go the indoor outdoor route! And having both options be just as beautiful was important to me with early November having a high probability of rain. Setting: Another selling point of this place is the views! You’ve got stunning panorama views of the Ozarks that are sure to wow in any season. Pick your backdrop because the options are limitless when it comes to where your outdoor ceremony will be! The bridal suite: This was one of my MAJOR selling points! It was very important to me to have space for all my girls to be together plus several female family members. The shower being separate from the sink was awesome so that one person didn’t monopolize the bathroom. The other separate room within there came in clutch for privacy for my breastfeeding cousin (and then later to put her daughter down for a nap!) and also for my bridesmaids to lock me in when I needed to finish writing my vows! The room was bright and tall and had amazing natural light and the high up hooks were perfect for all our dresses! The vanities were bright with plenty of plugs and we were not lacking for seating in the room from the dining table and chairs to the vanity seats to the giant curved couch which was perfect for getting ready pictures! Miscellaneous Things Plentywoods Offers To Go Above And Beyond That I Now Realize Very Few Venues Actually Do: Ice machine (need I say more about this?) Rolling bar - put it wherever your vision is and no worries about renting one! Large rolling bar top height coolers - perfect for bottled water and sodas! Arbor options - beautiful handcrafted arbors. Multiple outdoor ceremony options (literally wherever you want to go). Indoor chairs and outdoors chairs. Multiple styles of tables including gorgeous decorative ones for the head table and/or entryway for gifts/guestbook. Plus so much more!!! Im sure I could say much more but I’ll end with you will not be disappointed choosing Plentywoods! TL;DR - Choose Plentywoods for a versatile venue, plenty of amenities, and top notch- Ritz level- care.

Lynn, my love since I was 13 years old, and I started thinking about building a venue on the family ground back in 2016. He started clearing out trees and our vision began.

The enchanting Dragonfly Farms provides an unbeatable backdrop, and it’s not uncommon for wild deer to be seen wandering through the fields and forest as vows are exchanged. The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms is the most captivating venue in the Arkansas River Valley. Charm and elegance love it here.

Pictures don’t do it justices go check out the venue in person and you’ll be sold.

From our first conversation with Kourtney, we knew C&C by the Lake was going to be our venue. She was responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel less stressful. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous—we barely needed any decorations because the venue already had so much natural beauty. On our wedding day, Connie was incredible and handled every detail without us having to ask. She jumped in whenever we needed something and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We honestly didn't worry about a thing, and that peace of mind made our day so much better. C&C by the Lake is worth every penny and we can't recommend them enough!

Crystal Ridge Distillery

Hot Springs, AR
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor

Located within walking distance of Central Avenue and Bath House Row, Crystal Ridge Distillery sits on the corner of Broadway and Grand. When first constructed between 1910 and 1920 for F.C. Stearns as a warehouse for their hardware, feed and furniture stores, the building was on the outskirts of downtown. With the current size of Hot Springs, it is now near the heart. Times change. Over those years, the building was built in three sections, which now account for the beautiful, interior brick walls (18” thick). Back then, a sawmill was set up on-site to cut the timbers, posts and beams. You can still see the circular saw marks on the wood. Now, it is Crystal Ridge Distillery. Hand-built with state-of-the-art craftsmanship for its time, we revitalized the structure with modern amenities while keeping the 1920 authenticity. Adding our own industrial twist, all elements of our distillery are highly energy efficient and the many windows provide an abundance of natural lighting.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Provides event staff
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • No on-site bridal suite
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • No free parking
The team at Crystal Ridge Distillery was so friendly and helpful with our rehearsal dinner! They accommodated our large group for a last minute tasting, and all their staff was fun, laughing, and joking with us. The seltzers and moonshines they make are the bomb, and I strongly recommend at least doing the tasting if not stocking your event bar with a few of their in-house selections! The decor is beautiful, has a rustic charm, and the private event space is a reasonable enough size for 50-60 people maximum. They have an easily accessible, large parking lot which is great for out of town guests, and handicapped accessible entry! We were so pleased with Crystal Ridge and will definitely be back as a customer!

I got so many compliments on how beautiful the space was. We did the ceremony outside in the covered area and the photos are BEAUTIFUL. I contacted at least 10 venues before choosing the Apollo. BY FAR, they were the best priced, most responsive, and most helpful. I did not have to have separate security and separate insurance like many other venues and they took care of everything.

I had attended and been in a friends wedding at Oakdale prior to mine, and as soon as I got engaged, I knew this is where I wanted to get married. We had a large guest list, and this venue accommodated all, with handicap offerings, and a large crowd. The bridal and grooms suite is perfect. Everything you could need, the Venue at Oakdale has it. Carol was the best and helped us out so much.

The Ballroom at I Street 
Bentonville, AR
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,700

With a love for classic, stately beauty... and a vision of grandeur, Danise Smith, and daughter Breann Ashford purchased the property at I Street in Bentonville. Their passion for bringing life and excitement back into older things manifested with the renovation process as they created a grand bridal suite and party room in the 1930s home. Plans to build Bentonville's newest event venue and bridal party house began in August of 2014. While the Northwest Arkansas area offers a variety of more rustic, chic venues, the owners felt there was a great need for something polished, grand, and simply... white. The Ballroom at I Street is a venue that enables the bride and groom to personalize every aspect of their special day without the dictation of patterned walls and the distraction of colorful carpeting.
