Horsehead Lake Lodge and Event Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, Scott, the owner, was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our needs. He went above and beyond, even paying for a lunch for me and my new family, which was such a generous gesture. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, with a huge property that has so many activities for guests to enjoy. Everything was extremely well-kept and up-to-date. Scott and his team made sure that every detail was taken care of efficiently, so we could just relax and enjoy our special day.

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. On the day of the wedding, they made sure we didn’t run into any last minute issues. The venue itself was beautiful, and could not be more peaceful and relaxing. From the beautiful lake view, to the hot tub, we were able to truly relax and soak in the weekend. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy the space the day before and after the wedding as well.

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.

The space was so beautiful, not just the barn, but the suites and bathroom was just amazing. Pam at the Stables helped make sure everything was going on time, Hannah wasn't in town that day but she was messaging me about things to help the day as well! It rained so we had to move everything inside last minute and everyone still made it work so we were not stressed!!

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. After a lot of life altering events, I decided to continue what we started. With the help of close friends and family, we completed Lynn’s Landing in late 2019. We still have lots of garden dreams to complete, and I know we will always add and change as time goes on. As a photographer, I’m always looking for beautiful gardens to take portraits in. Now I have my own. I will expand and fill over several acres in time. If you have ever dreamed of a woodland garden wedding or a building unique in design Lynn’s Landing is the place for your fairytale wedding. Visits by appointment only.

My husband and I got married back in October at Lynn's Landing and it was everything we dreamed of. The venue along with the surrounding landscapes is absolutely gorgeous. All of the plants, flowers, and trees were just blooming. You can tell that the owner, Kim, puts a lot of hard work into her place. Kim was so easy to work with, she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. You can tell she strongly believes in love and a happily ever after, which is most likely why she created Lynn's Landing. She cares so much about you having the perfect wedding, maybe even more than you do. I highly recommend Lynn's Landing for your wedding, your imagination can run wild out there and you can decorate it any way you like.

Anchoring the rich and luscious Ozark National Forest, nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, sits Dragonfly Farms and its Chapel. Cozy. Rustic. Magical. Exuding an unassuming quiet strength. Unique. This picturesque venue is surrounded by dreamy views of the nearby mountains, foliage, and wildlife. 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.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ben and his mom, owners of The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms. Ben’s professionalism and attention to every detail is far and above what I ever expected. It snowed on the day of my daughter’s wedding, which made it even more beautiful. This change of plans wasn’t a problem at all. Ben had a backup plan ready to go. The cake and food were delicious. I would highly recommend The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms especially for a wedding venue but I would honestly trust them with any event that I wanted to make special! Big thumbs up!!!

Crystal Ridge Distillery 

5.0

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

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.

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.
