The Grand at Willow Springs | Wedding Venue in Prairie Grove, AR
Check out the newest Wedding Venue in Northwest Arkansas
The Grand at Willow Springs in Prairie Grove opened its doors in December 2023. It is one of the largest (and grandest) wedding venues in NWA. Capacity exceeds 500 guests and there are incredible views in all directions from the chapel and reception hall. This year I both visited the venue and captured a styled wedding shoot just days after they opened. Scroll for pictures!
Large windows and white walls, perfect for photos!
When we entered the chapel I immediately noticed the large window behind the altar is north-facing, which is essential. It means you’ll never have direct and harsh light coming in during the ceremony. All the white walls and ceilings then bounce that wonderful natural light around for the perfect dreamy shots!
The style and inspiration for the venue
I recently hosted a styled wedding shoot at The Grand at Willow Springs and spoke with Whitney and Keri from the venue. They mentioned the venue’s style and their inspiration as timeless with a modern twist. That is truly a perfect summary of what my first impression was of it. There are elements of what I could see as a classic Italian villa or a mansion — sprinkled in with modern and clean design. The venue has a voice and a few statement pieces (the wooden doors!) but you can also bring in decorations and florals and build your own vision.
In addition to the grand scale of the buildings I loved that the side windows on the chapel will have large trees, filtering the light coming in. But enough about nerding out about light. Let’s discuss the numbers!
The bridal suite
Hands down, the largest bridal suite I have ever been in! I don’t have the square footage but you can easily fit a full 10+ person bridal party with hair and make-up artists in there, with plenty of space left. The suite is also beautifully and thoughtfully designed to let in as much natural light as possible!
