I'm absolutely thrilled that you've chosen Northwest Arkansas for your destination wedding! As your wedding planner, I couldn't be more excited to help you create magical memories in this special corner of the world.
As a Northwest Arkansas native, this region holds a special place in my heart, and I'm delighted to share its beauty with you and your guests. From the rolling Ozark Mountains to our charming small towns, NWA offers the perfect backdrop for your celebration.
While you're here, I highly recommend your guests explore Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art - a world-class museum nestled in a breathtaking natural setting. For outdoor enthusiasts, the extensive network of trails and Beaver Lake provide endless opportunities for adventure between wedding festivities.
I can't wait to work closely with you to create a wedding day that captures both your unique love story and the natural charm of Northwest Arkansas. Your journey to "I do" deserves nothing less than perfection, and I'm honored to guide you every step of the way.

Tips & Tricks
We have so many phenomenal wedding venues to choose from that highlight the beauty of the ozarks here in NWA. The first thing to decide is if you want any of your weddings to be outdoors or if you are looking for an indoor only event space.
Arkansas Razorback sports are a very prevalent part of the culture here in NWA and I always recommend couples take a look at the football schedule when selecting their wedding date as it will affect traffic, and availability of overnight accommodations.
