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.

Crystal Ridge Distillery 

5.0

Hot Springs, AR
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

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

Crystal Ridge Distillery was a lovely location for our reception. The staff was friendly and easy to work with so we could make a custom drink menu from their distillery selection. The location is very versatile for several themes, from industrial, southern, or forested. Highly recommend them for your next event/gathering.

The Apollo is the cutest, most unique, fun, gem in NWA. The venue was perfect. The upstairs area was great for pre-reception hiding out and for a home-base for all of my family. 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.
