Little Rock Wedding Venues
Little Rock, the state capital of Arkansas has a lot options when it comes to wedding and reception venues. I’ve also included a few venues that are just outside the city, but are definitely close enough.
The Venue at Oakdale
The Venue at Oakdale in North Little Rock is about as luxurious as it gets. A stylish and large reception space, a spacious black and white wedding chapel with perfect natural light. Not to mention the bridal suite and the groom’s quarters. Both are equally large and equipped with everything you’ll need to prepare for your wedding day. One last thing… they have a helipad!
Price ranges from $5000 to $8500
Capacity for 500 guests
Day-of coordination is optional
Rental includes the use of the venue and grounds for engagement photos
