Our 7 Favorite Wedding Venues in Arkansas
Horsehead Lake Lodge
This was a hidden gem for us, because it feels in a world all its own. If you are a bride that loves nature and being in the outdoors, if you want a wedding that overlooks the Ozark mountains with a vibe that makes you feel like you’re glamping, then this is the spot for you. They have access to the lake, which you need 4-wheel drive for, but its totally worth it for those stunning pictures!!! And there’s no getting over that view for you and your guests. Check out Abby & Paul’s Wedding for more inspiration here.
2. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
We can’t say enough about weddings that are done here!!! We are big art lovers in general, so the opportunity to take pictures among the beautiful artwork really melts our heart! Crystal Bridges provides such a luxurious space for whatever you have planned. Whether using The Great Hall (blue/green illuminated building bellow), or using the Dining Hall (orange illuminated building bellow), or any of the outdoor locations, this is the perfect venue for anyone looking to provide a unique experience for their guests. Here is a glimpse at Claire & Austin’s magical wedding at Crystal Bidges.
3. Osage House & The Reserve
In Cave Springs, AR you will find a very sleek and modern venue. What makes it even better is that depending on the size of your wedding, or your budget, they have 2 separate spaces on the same property. There is the larger Osage House with the Chapel, or The Reserve with an outdoor arbor and ceremony spot. They both have large windows and they are both equally beautiful! Check out Drew & Brooke’s wedding at the Reserve for some more inspiration.
4. Mildred B. Cooper Chapel
Of course, who doesn’t love this dreamy and architectural chapel in the forest in Bella Vista, AR. There are several glass chapels in Arkansas, but the unique curved lines and ceiling on this one are truly spectacular. It also is the perfect spot for elopements! No matter what time of day, this chapel is awe-inspiring and bound to make the perfect backdrop for any photos. You can see some images of the Chapel on Claire and Austins blog, mentioned in Crystal Bridges, or admire its beauty in the photo below.
5. Ballroom at I St.
Looking for an elegant venue with crystal chandeliers, and tall white ceilings and columns? Ballroom at I St. is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding. Also, they have a beautiful outdoor and courtyard area. It has hanging string lights and a gorgeous outdoor ceremony area as well for those looking to have an outdoor ceremony or reception. Although in the middle of Bentonville, it still feels very private for any event. See how Sarah & Spencer personalized their wedding here.
6. Stone Chapel at Matt Lane Farm
Some of the things we love about this unique venue is the many options you have available to you. They have a beautiful indoor chapel, but the shining glory is in its name…The Stone Chapel. The beautiful outdoor space is covered in ivy during the warmer months, and its perfect for those brides looking for whimsy and romance and maybe a travel back in time to the Scottish Highlands. Cassie & Chris made their boho wedding dreams come true here.
7. The Grand at Willow Springs
We are so excited for the opening of this new venue!!It lives up to its name! It’s GRAND! It has everything you could possibly want or need in a wedding venue. Upon designing, the co-owners enlisted the ideas of wedding professionals across the region to include everything you would need to make the day run smoothly. The Grand sits upon a hill that overlooks beautiful mountains and scenery. It contains a an elegant staircase, gorgeous chapel, outdoor courtyard, huge getting ready rooms for bride and groom, and a reception hall that makes your jaw drop.
