Our Most Common Questions

FAQs

  • Do I need to schedule a tour? Or can I stop by?

    Please call or text 479-841-7770 or email us at marsha@plentywoodsvenue.com to schedule a tour to see everything we offer to make wedding day a breeze. Where the venue is built is also our home and we appreciate you respecting our privacy there. We are flexible and try our best to accommodate what time works best for you to tour.

  • How many guests can I have?

    We can accommodate up to 350 guests. But even weddings with 150 guests are comfortable and do not feel empty.

  • What if my guest list is less than 300?

    While we built the venue with large crowds in mind, we can certainly host smaller weddings, too. For example, winter weddings where the ceremony and reception are held inside will have more space for their guests to dine and dance without having to tear down or set up tables/chairs.

  • Can the wedding party get ready on-site?

    Absolutely! The bridal and groom suites were built knowing they would spend a lot of time the day of the wedding at the venue. They are spacious with lots of room for relaxing and getting ready. Each has a full bathroom, too.

  • Where is the closest lodging?

    Fayetteville will offer the closest hotels about 30 minutes away. There are a number of Airbnbs in Elkins that we encourage wedding guests and families to look into. We also have a one-bedroom house on-site that we can rent out for the couple, their family or vendors.

  • Are there indoor and outdoor ceremony options?

    Yes! There are many different options for outdoor ceremonies that are easy walking distance from the building and offer different views. Or take the party inside if the weather calls for a backup plan.

  • Where is Plentywoods Venue located?

    On a working cattle ranch, the venue is located about 8 miles outside of Elkins, Arkansas, right off of Hwy 16. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Fayetteville. It sits on a big hill and overlooks rolling woods, cattle pastures and a valley of views all the way to town.

  • The driveway is steep. Will my guests have trouble getting to the venue?

    2024 Update: the hill is paved! We have never had any issues with any guests getting to the venue. From trucks and trailers to corvettes and motorcycles, we’ve seen it all on top of the hill. And they made it safely, too!

  • I remember seeing additional services in the contract. How do I add a package as my wedding gets closer?

    We offer more than a raw space to get married, although that is the most common way our venue is used. If you’re looking for a team of people who are ready to work on wedding day, please email us and we can share the additional services we offer. Some include: Setup/Tear Down, Event Management, Photo Booth, The Cottage, Rehearsal Dinner. We also offer real white plates and gold flatware to elevate your reception experience.

  • How do I reserve Brays, Neighs and Brews?

    Brays, Neighs and Brews is a mini donkey and pony drink service. It’s the perfect way to add a special and memorable touch to your wedding reception. While the brew crew is exclusive to Plentywoods, please reach out to Kara directly to inquire.

  • Can I host a non-wedding event at Plentywoods?

    Of course! We love hosting showers and birthday parties. During the week, we also have the capacity to host workshops and retreats for NWA businesses. Ask us about our weekday (Monday-Thursday) and hourly pricing options.
