You just got engaged and everyone is asking, "What date and where?!" You’re lucky though, you are surrounded by incredible venue options from Centerton to Prairie Grove. You consider all the things: budget, aesthetic, guest count, availability, season, weather, and location. You remember your best friend's sister's wedding and how it rained the whole day, and they had to flip the ceremony location last minute…yikes! We all know the incredible venues in NWA have great things to offer, but today I share with you why Osage House is the perfect place for your day.

1 | Crisp, white, & clean. Your Pinterest board is full of all the trends…bows, bright colors, disco balls, monochromatic, black and white... Osage House offers an open concept space at the Hall and Reserve for all your wedding day visions. Do you want to hang flowers over the dance floor or light up the ceiling with an arrangement of disco balls? Do you want your pink and orange flowers to pop on white linens? Do you want to avoid long lines at the buffet and bar? The Hall offers 6000 square feet for your floor plan to fit up to 428 seated guests, two bars, room for a buffet, gift table, photo booth, dance floor, soft seating, and even baggo boards on the deck. The Reserve seats 250 guests in the main area, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony space, a great place for cocktail hour under the breezeway. The windows let in beautiful light and allows the room to speak for itself with minimal decorations. We haven’t even talked about the Chapel. Seating roughly 200 guests, this space draws your eye from the windows down to the beautiful couple standing near their loved ones. You get it, it’s beautiful, spacious, naturally lit, and we didn’t even talk about the incredible suites or patio. Gentlemen…your presence is required for the tour because the groom’s suite might be my most favorite place. 

2 | Location, location, location- Did you know we are 15 minutes from the Bentonville Square, 10 minutes from Pinnacle Hills Promenade, and 25 minutes to the University of Arkansas? So basically a hop, skip, and jump away from pretty much everything. The best part about our location, we are close to so much, yet our property is secluded, private, and scenic. Have you seen some of the golden hour photos on our socials?! Family flying in…we are close to the airport and have many great hotel and Airbnb options (ie Oz Haus). 

3 | Find me a vendor that hasn’t been here. We not only offer our clients a preferred vendor list upon booking, but we’ve established great relationships with many local and travel vendors. Even with how many weddings we’ve had, the vendors and couples always get creative with drawing new ideas and inspiration from our space. Did you see the tinsel ceiling installation Darling Blooms did this year? Or the floral tunnel by Samantha’s Garden at the Open House? What about the massive white trees from Amanda Reed’s 2022 wedding? When we say we’ve worked with some talented and amazing vendors, we mean it. The list keeps growing and our relationships with the vendors is essential to our success. 

4 | Let’s be honest, communication with vendors and venues can be daunting. The back and forth emails, process, proposals, contracts- it can be a lot. Thankfully, at Osage House, we have an incredible team of ladies who can assist with many different aspects of your day. Morgan is your first contact. She will escort you around our beautiful venues, communicate pricing and dates, and handle all of your contract questions. She’s incredibly easy to work with, but she hands you off to our client relations managers, Kasarah or AJ, 45 days before your event. From there, they will help you finalize your floor plan, timeline, insurance, vendors, and ensure you are following all of our policies. Our site attendants help with all of your day of needs. Whether it’s pulling out more tables, changing the thermostats, or keeping the bathrooms maintained, you will have someone present from our team the whole day! As for the faces you don’t see, this place would not function without them. Stephanie, our facilities manager, ensures the venue is beautiful, functioning, and fully stocked. She is a huge reason why things get done physically around here, and she doesn’t get enough credit. Kasarah-a woman with many hats- and the fingers behind our socials. She does a great job of keeping our followers intrigued by our content and success. Last but not least, the lady behind it all, our lovely owner, Ashley. She brings joy, ideas, lists, and sass to our team and we literally wouldn’t be where we are without her. 

5 | Flexible pricing. Looking for a venue to fit within your budget can be challenging. We offer different price options based on season, month, and even day of the week. Maybe you want to get married during the peak of wedding season with the spring flowers or the fall leaves, a Friday wedding so you can enjoy Saturday with all your visiting family, or maybe just a casual Monday. Our gal Morgan can share all of our pricing options to fit your budget. 

I could give you a million more reasons why you should choose Osage for your Northwest Arkansas Wedding, but it's probably best to check it out for yourself! Need inspiration? Check out our Instagram or Pinterest…you won’t be disappointed! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
