Perfect place to get married!

I have an obsession with La Maman. When the museum approved for us to get married underneath her, it made my whole day. We got engaged under the sculpture, eloped under the sculpture, and our reception is inspired by her. Thank you Crystal Bridges for making my dream come true!

Crystal Bridges was an extremely beautiful venue!! The guests were blown away. The people in charge of scheduling and organizing the wedding were a bit difficult to work with. They were VERY unorganized and didn't get serious about anything until 2 weeks out. This made me, my mom, and wedding planner a bit stressed out. They did pull a lot of of strings for us, but at a price, it is the most expensive venue in NWA. But at the end of the day the wedding was perfect and absolutely beautiful.

Early planning

This venue does not disclose anywhere on web sites or vendor information on Wedding wire or Knot that there is a minimum person requirement for receptions . Simple questions were asked about alternate spaces and availability , but the woman emailing me could answer just basic info . It was very apparent she did not want our business !
