Say "I do" on a slate bluff above the river, with the Ouachita Mountains stretching to the horizon.
Riverglen is a hidden gem for couples dreaming of an intimate outdoor wedding. Exchange vows on our breathtaking blufftop lookout, celebrate at a warm forest reception just steps away, and host up to thirty guests on 42 gated, private acres, with your wedding party staying right on site. One unforgettable place, from the first look to the last dance.
Picture your aisle leading to a slate bluff where the river winds far below and the horizon opens in three directions. It's a setting that needs almost no decoration: golden light, open sky and the quiet of the national forest do the work. Whether at sunrise or that magic hour before sunset, your ceremony backdrop will be unlike any other.
A short, gentle path leads your guests up to the lookout, a natural, open-air setting you're free to arrange and decorate exactly how you wish.
After the ceremony, the celebration moves to a flexible reception room at the Studio House that you can transform to match your vision. We provide 12 high-quality plastic folding tables and 30 high-quality plastic folding chairs for your group to set up however you like, dinner seating and a dance floor, a sweetheart table, a buffet or a cake display.
When the stars come out, drift to the covered pavilion and the quartz crystal fire pit for a fireside celebration. Indoors or out, it's an intimate party your guests will be talking about for years.
Keep everyone close. Both homes are available for the couple, the family and the wedding party. Your stay includes full private access to the forest walking trails and Ouachita River access with swimming area.
Sleeps 6 · Reception Room
The reception room is attached to this bright, single-level home, perfect as a getting-ready suite for the bridal party and the hub of the weekend's celebration.
Sleeps 8 · Riverfront
Nearby on the property, this rustic two-level River House sleeps eight more guests overlooking the Ouachita River, three bedrooms, a screened porch and a quartz crystal fireplace. An ideal place for family or the groomsmen party to settle in for the weekend.
A blufftop ceremony and forest reception you simply can't find at a ballroom or banquet hall.
No shuttling guests between venues, everything happens on the same private estate.
Gated and secluded, with no crowds and no through-traffic, the day belongs entirely to you.
River, bluffs, forest and golden light, endless backdrops for portraits and your first look.
Two homes sleep your wedding party, so the celebration carries on long after the last dance.
Our family lives right here on the property, so a familiar face is always close by for questions about the estate.
