17 Central Arkansas

Non- Barn Wedding Venues

Listen, I love a barn wedding. The rustic feel can be magical for the right couple… But trust me when I say, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Just because we’re in the South doesn’t mean every bride wants a barn-chic wedding! I hear ya, sister. It can be so tough to find Central Arkansas wedding venues where the main focal point isn’t a barn, so I’ve done it for you. Here’s a list of my top 17 favorite Central Arkanas Wedding venues in – NO BARNS INCLUDED. Hope you find a few you like! 

“Married at Marlsgate” has a nice ring to it! Marlsgate Plantation is a timeless and classic venue. Couples who choose to get married here usually have their ceremony atop the front steps of the jaw-dropping plantation home – the focal point of the venue. While there’s no barn, there is plenty of Southern charm! Get in touch with the staff at Marlsgate Manor here.

Pinnacle Mountain and Lake Maumelle will be the backdrop for your ceremony at An Enchanting Evening! Have your ceremony on a stone overlook with a view that will take your breath away. Then, stick around for an on-site reception. Enjoy mingling with your wedding guests around a blue pool, a massive log cabin, and extremely photogenic landscaping.

As long as you’re not looking to get married in June or July (Camp Wyldewood is not available for weddings in those months due to summer camps), this spot is such a cool place for a wedding!
