Plentywoods Venue 

5.0

Elkins, AR
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,800

Take your guests breath away at Plentywoods Venue, a new wedding venue in Northwest Arkansas. Nestled on a hilltop overlooking the Boston Mountains, cattle pastures and valleys, sits a modern, rustic and elegant space to celebrate life’s big moments with your family and friends. The venue is a cross between a church and a barn adorned with stained pine that is beautiful as-is or can be personalized with special touches to match your theme.

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.

Horsehead Lake Lodge and Event Center 

5.0

Clarksville, AR
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,500

At HorseHead Lake Lodge, we're thrilled to offer a stunning wedding venue that truly embraces the natural beauty of Arkansas. Imagine exchanging vows overlooking the beautiful Ozark Mountains and Horsehead Lake! With all of this as your backdrop, your big day truly becomes a part of nature's magnificent canvas. Our venue offers a rustic but yet modern charm that perfectly complements the romantic atmosphere of your special day. From start to finish, we're here to help you create a picture-perfect wedding day that you'll remember forever.

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.

The Apollo on Emma 

5.0

Springdale, AR
  • Up to 664 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $550

Our venue has a art deco vibe from the marble floors to the built in bars, we have the capability to show movies, both indoor and outdoor covered spaces. Lots of perks come with our space from ceremony and reception chairs and tables, to ice machine, bars, in house speakers, custom acoustic paneling and more.

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.

The Legacy at MK Ranch 

5.0

Tahlequah, OK
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

The Legacy at MK Ranch is Tahlequah's newest event venue! Although it is just minutes from town, the property is secluded and makes you feel as if you are away from the hustle and bustle. With more than 50 windows, it brings the outside in creating a warm and inviting feel. It is spacious with over 8,500 square feet, seating up to 350 people, but yet you feel grounded with all the natural light, neutral colors, iron railings and wood tones. The Legacy embodies a farmhouse elegance with a modern spin.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at the Legacy in September of 2020. It was literally a dream. They walked us through what our day would look like, and worked to make everything we wanted happen (even in the middle of a pandemic). I believe you can now include XO Event Co. in your wedding package to include a wedding coordinator. Our coordinator from XO literally saved the day and I couldn’t have done it without her. If you are wanting to stay on site the night before or night of the wedding, then make sure you ask about the Farmhouse which is just walking distance from the venue. My entire bridal party stayed in the 5 bedroom house my wedding weekend and it was a blast. Highly recommend!
