Corey Barnett(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 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 groups. 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!

I recently had my wedding at Sassafras Springs Vineyard and I loved it! There was plenty of room at the venue for our guests to wander around before the ceremony started and they also have a lot of decorations that can be used for free. I was slightly disappointed with the amount of fees that were added onto our bill. We did not have alcohol and we were charged a fee for having water, tea, and lemonade for our guests. However, the owners of the venue do an amazing job of keeping the grounds clean and tidy. It was such an amazing day and the employees at Sassafras Springs helped make it happen!

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.

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 the venues and no one had to leave. Everyone kept in contact with us and double check all of our request and needs.

Mary Leach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 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 they 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! Reviewed on 17-10-2019

Sarah Allen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-03-2019 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! Reviewed on 10-10-2019
Ashley Walters(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-08-2019 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. Reviewed on 10-10-2019

Emily Breedlove(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2016 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 beyond 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. Reviewed on 01-01-2018

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!
