Gorgeous venue. We had several custom things added from the venue. Although we have not seen our photos yet, there’s no way they won’t be gorgeous. The chapel is unique. The available space for photos is large and offers multiple areas for grou...
ps. We had a blast at the reception. We had 120 guests with a live band. The Stables were full of dancers, and the veranda allowed space for guests who preferred a quieter place to mingle. Perfect!
Thank you Sassafras for being the PERFECT venue for the wedding of our dreams!! We booked immediately after our tour after seeing about 5 other venues. It was clear they were professionals and had everything we would need and more. Our contact ...
Alexis was easy to reach and very informative the entire year leading up to our wedding. The bartenders for our event December 10th exceeded all expectations to ensure everyone was taken care of and even stayed to help answer questions for cleanup after our event! We got to meet the owner, Cheryl, multiple times who showed us nothing but kindness and hospitality.
If you are considering booking Sassafras be conscious that you will need to purchase all alcohol through their supplier. This caused us to go over our budget on drinks a bit because it was more expensive than the liquor stores in the area for the same brands. They are transparent about this and their prices in the contract, but it can be easy to miss little details like this with all they provide!
We chose the veranda for our ceremony and it was absolutely perfect for our winter wedding! They even had the reception stables decorated with lights (indoor and outdoor) due to the holiday season. It was the best surprise and really embraced the season. We used many items from their décor closet which saved us money on decorating while helping us achieve the look we wanted.
If you book this venue you will not be disappointed. There is so much to consider when booking, but I hope these details give you some insight as you make your decision!
An incredible wedding venue. The ability to rent the lodge and stay on property made it very special. Staff was friendly, easy to work with, and helpful throughout the process. So many beautiful spots to take pictures and we loved being able to...
hold the ceremony and reception in two spots but within walking distance to make it easy for our guests. The majority of our guests were from out of town so this made it much easier!
Any questions?
My daughter's wedding was just perfect! The ceremony in the veranda was breathtaking and the staples was gorgeous. She had the most beautiful wedding. I highly recommend this venue.
What an amazing time we had at the Sassafras Venue this past weekend. The site was beautifully decorated and cleaned prior to arriving to decorate for the wedding! The staff were more then kind and helpful throughout the whole process from the...

Our daughter’s wedding on 11/13/22 was magical at Sassafras Springs Vineyard! Working with Sarah and Alexis could not have gone any smoother. HIGHLY recommend SSV for your wedding and/or event.

My wedding dreams came true.
Man, what an amazing venue! I've never been to a wedding venue more beautiful. They were so professional and easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make the wedding run smoothly.
Sassafrass had absolutely everything I needed as a busy bride! Day of coordinator is a MUST!
We fell in love with this venue the minute we pulled in the parking lot. Having two separate venues helped out tremendously with my guest and the flow of my day. Everyone including our immediate family members could all get ready together at th...

If you're looking for a beautiful venue that is elegant, but outdoorsy, this is the place. The chapel is breathtaking even with VERY minimal decor. Speaking of decor, you don't need to go out and spend your money...They let you use anything the...
y have already on the property at no charge!! The recent expansion off the back of the stables provides a covered option for an outdoor wedding that stays in line with the vibe of the entire property. The owners and operators are extremely kind and helpful all throughout the process. I can't imagine what my big day would've been if I'd been at any other venue!

I loved hosting a bridal shower for my friend at Sassafras Springs Vineyard. Cheryl and her team are so accommodating! They even called me that morning to ask if we wanted to move it inside because it was going to be in the 90s that day (we did...
have it inside and so thankful). They had decor available in case we wanted it, and it looked so beautiful that we hardly added anything to it. It was a perfect atmosphere for the shower!

Sassafras is such a beautiful location for a wedding! With their recent additions, you have so many options for ceremony location with each location having a different feel (intimate for smaller weddings, bright and natural for the simple chic ...
bride, or religious/traditional at the chapel ruins) They have also added a lodge on the property which makes it a great way to connect and stay close with out of town guests or an awesome oasis for the bride and groom post-wedding. They have access to a ton of decor, plates, glasses, etc that you are able to use that are on hand which makes it an easy choice. They also have an in-house coordinator if you have not found one yet or decide you need one after all last minute. This is truly a unique and all inclusive venue!

Thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️ We appreciate you and thank you for allowing us to be part of this special day
As soon as I stepped out of my car, I knew Sassafras is where I wanted my wedding. The grounds and Chapel are so beautiful. We didn’t even have to decorate much at the ceremony because the Chapel itself is stunning. They just finished the patio...
extension off the reception area and it was perfect for cocktail hour. I loved that it was covered because it gave me piece of mind that in case it rained, we had a covered ceremony option. The “Barn” area was perfect for our reception and this venue has a ton of decor items they allow you to use at no additional cost. Kristi was great to work with and made planning my wedding a breeze. You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue.

Sassafras is a beautiful venue for a wedding which we and our guests really enjoyed, and for that they get 3 stars. But if you’re considering having your wedding here, you just might want to consider a few things. SSV does not go above and beyo...
nd to make sure you have everything you need. Because they are a popular and desired venue, they don’t have to. My bridal shoot (3 hours included with the price of the venue) was scheduled for a Monday when the venue was closed, and I was assured I’d be able to take photos all around the grounds. When I arrived with my photographers, it turned out they had booked a wedding that evening. I had to change in the kitchen in the tasting room, and I was only allowed to take photos in a restricted area (not in the chapel ruins or by the pretty grape vines). The wine they serve, they charge you around $20-25 a bottle ($275 per case) for wine that it’s $6 a bottle at the store. Yes that is nearly QUADRUPLE the price. The night of the wedding, SSV wanted to keep my $500 deposit because there were flower petals left on the ground in the chapel from my flower girls. I know that the staff has turned over some since my wedding in 2016, so I’m hopeful that things have gotten a bit better. Again, it’s a beautiful venue. Maybe I was naive in thinking that they actually do care about you, but unfortunately I felt that they do not.

We are voted best wedding venue in 2017 by NWA Democrat Gazette , Citiscapes, Celebrate and Best Arkansas wedding by the Knot. We are sorry for any disappointments that you have. Please come see us for your Anniversary and we will go above and beyond for you.
Our wedding was magical! Everything was perfect right down to the staff that was so accommodating. Everyone said that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended!
We also had our rehearsal dinner on the patio. The temperatures were...

❤️🎉🎉🍷 Thank you 🙏 we appreciate you and are so happy for you
My husband and I chose Sassafras Springs Vineyard to be our wedding and reception venue for our September 2016 wedding. The space is lovely – the chapel "ruins" are a unique setting for Arkansas, and the barn is large and air conditioned.
One ...
thing of note is that the vineyard does keep their tasting room open and allows customers to walk the grounds even when there is a private event. It was a bit strange when my husband and I were doing our first look on the grounds to have a crowd of people (who weren't our photographer and videographer) watching us, but I suppose there are worse things.
Ultimately were very happy with our wedding day!
