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.

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.

Re-established as a wedding and special events venue, The Chapel now provides a home away from home to the families and friends celebrating together under its original weathered tin roof. 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!!!

  • Not wheelchair accessible

We held a wedding and reception at this venue and everything went fantastic. Our event was very last minute with only a few weeks to plan, and finding Club 27 was a blessing. This was the largest event I have personally ever planned, and on very short notice, but Jorge responded to emails quickly, was easy to work with and his staff pleasant and helpful in helping us pull off this event. The chandeliers and ambience of the building are beautiful, and it was just a perfect setting for what the bride and groom were wanting. Our couple wanted a unique wedding and the Club 27 Ballroom offered that; the groom liked the brick wall which made up one side of the room, while the bride liked the staircase on the other side of the room, which she decided was how she would make her entrance during the wedding. We had guests come in from out of town and they enjoyed the location in the heart of downtown Little Rock, able to book a room at the hotel right across the street from this venue. It is also set back off the street, so it adds a bit of privacy for private events; it was nice to have the option to sit outside during the reception but still be a distance from the the main road. The seating arrangement of having both tables and sofas gave our guests a variety of seating options which they enjoyed. There is ample space for guests and dancing. The lighting is customizable. There were many compliments on the appearance of this venue during the reception, my pictures don't do it justice. Our guests had a wonderful time and the bride and groom were very happy using this venue on their special day. If you are looking for a venue for an event I recommend Club 27; it is in the middle of everything in downtown, easy access off the interstate, it's beautiful, versatile, and Jorge is very easy to work with. Very pleasant experience.

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.

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.

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 Ballroom at I Street 
Bentonville, AR
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services

  • 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.
