“The Apollo is the cutest, most unique, fun, gem in NWA. The venue was perfect. The upstairs area was great for pre-reception hiding out and for a home-base for all of my family. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the space was. We did the ceremony outside in the covered area and the photos are BEAUTIFUL. I contacted at least 10 venues before choosing the Apollo. BY FAR, they were the best priced, most responsive, and most helpful. I did not have to have separate security and separate insurance like many other venues and they took care of everything.”

“Spacious and elegant venue with plenty of indoor and outdoor space.”

“When I tell you my experience with Plentywoods was incomparable I mean it. The following categories were my deciding factors in choosing a venue: Staff/owners: Incredibly friendly & helpful, always available to answer all 1,000 of my questions! It’s a family affair with them and they TRULY care about their couples. Venue itself: One word? GORGEOUS. The interior was so carefully thought out & planned - they truly thought of every detail! From the color tones of the ceiling & wood to light fixtures & floors - every style of bride would be happy here, from rustic to modern! My “boho ethereal” meshed perfectly with their finishes! The upstairs double barn doors to the landing atop the curved grand staircase gave us the most amazing grand entrance into our first dance! The sleek modern garage doors brought in plenty of light & convenience with a patio happy hour. The main hall itself is a beautiful setting for an indoor everything wedding or go the indoor outdoor route! And having both options be just as beautiful was important to me with early November having a high probability of rain. Setting: Another selling point of this place is the views! You’ve got stunning panorama views of the Ozarks that are sure to wow in any season. Pick your backdrop because the options are limitless when it comes to where your outdoor ceremony will be! The bridal suite: This was one of my MAJOR selling points! It was very important to me to have space for all my girls to be together plus several female family members. The shower being separate from the sink was awesome so that one person didn’t monopolize the bathroom. The other separate room within there came in clutch for privacy for my breastfeeding cousin (and then later to put her daughter down for a nap!) and also for my bridesmaids to lock me in when I needed to finish writing my vows! The room was bright and tall and had amazing natural light and the high up hooks were perfect for all our dresses! The vanities were bright with plenty of plugs and we were not lacking for seating in the room from the dining table and chairs to the vanity seats to the giant curved couch which was perfect for getting ready pictures! Miscellaneous Things Plentywoods Offers To Go Above And Beyond That I Now Realize Very Few Venues Actually Do: Ice machine (need I say more about this?) Rolling bar - put it wherever your vision is and no worries about renting one! Large rolling bar top height coolers - perfect for bottled water and sodas! Arbor options - beautiful handcrafted arbors. Multiple outdoor ceremony options (literally wherever you want to go). Indoor chairs and outdoors chairs. Multiple styles of tables including gorgeous decorative ones for the head table and/or entryway for gifts/guestbook. Plus so much more!!! Im sure I could say much more but I’ll end with you will not be disappointed choosing Plentywoods! TL;DR - Choose Plentywoods for a versatile venue, plenty of amenities, and top notch- Ritz level- care.”

“Dooley's Chapel on the Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. Wendy and Pat were prompt, attentive, and detail-oriented throughout the entire planning process, ensuring everything went smoothly on our big day. The chapel itself is a majestic fairy tale setting - our guests gushed over how beautiful and serene the space was. My husband and I truly felt like we were in a storybook as we exchanged our vows. Wendy and Pat were integral to making our wedding day so special and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff to work with.”
