Mount Sequoyah Center, Inc.

We used Mount Sequoyah Center for our wedding. Coming from the event industry this venue has been underrated as an option for brides in NWA (in my opinion). Aside from the natural beauty and vistas, logistically and financially it is a great place to host a wedding. The price was very reasonable for what was included in the contract. I will start by saying if you want a fancy, polished, higher end wedding, this may not be the place for you simply because it was not designed to cater to that level. If you’re looking for a casual, relaxed, outdoorsy feel, this is a wonderful place. We worked directly with Denni Palmer who was a huge help throughout the entire process. The first time we visited the venue, she gave us a full tour with my in-laws and explained all the amenities clearly. She was readily available for any questions and she was more than willing to work with our specific needs. She clearly cared about us as clients and it was a pleasure working with her. The onsite staff during our wedding weekend prepared everything as we had specified and they were helpful and friendly to our friends and family during their weekend stay. We were fortunate to be able to rent it on a Saturday in October (not a Razorback home game day). We were given access to the venue the day before to begin set up (this is not common for many venues) and we had access until Saturday at midnight. We did the ceremony and reception package (there is an option to do just one or the other). We were able to do a room block of the cabins on site for family and friends to rent. I was given a full 3-bedroom cabin close to the outdoor chapel to stay in Friday night and get ready in on Saturday. The groom was given a cabin the day of the wedding as well. Because we had access to the venue the Friday before, they let us host our rehearsal dinner on site. There is an indoor chapel option in case of inclement weather and it was reserved with our contract. We also had the option to buy breakfast for our guests at the dining hall on site. We did this the Sunday morning after the wedding before everyone left. The outdoor chapel is beautiful and we didn’t add decoration to enhance it. I will say that the room we used for our reception is utilitarian because it was originally designed for conferences. However, with some creativity, it can be transformed easily into a reception hall. It is a very functional building with backdoor access to a driveway for vendors. It also has two projectors, a speaker system and microphones that are all included. We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests about this venue. We had several guests who stayed at least two nights, some four, and they all enjoyed themselves. It was extremely helpful to be able to do everything in one location. It was everything we needed in a venue and we would highly recommend it as a wedding location.
