The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms 

5.0

Dover, AR
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally built by local residents in 1882, The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms, then known as Broomfield Church, has acted as a schoolhouse, place of worship, community center, and private residence. 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!!!

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.
