Our team works with your vendors to guarantee a custom event that reflects your unique story and the start of your next chapter together as a couple. Read about Caitlin and Matthew’s lovely wedding day at Walton Arts Center. 

“Up until three weeks before the wedding, our venue was set in Rogers, and we were eagerly counting down the days,” shares bride Caitlin Wardlaw. “Then, my nightmare, the tornadoes swept through, and our original venue was no longer able to host us. For about 24 hours, we felt the weight of stress and uncertainty, but then Shannon Eubanks at Walton Arts Center and our incredible wedding planner, Stephanie Benton, swooped in and truly saved the day.   

Located in the heart of Dickson Street, makes Walton Arts Center a premier event space. With years of event management and production experience by your side, our team allows you to enjoy your event stress-free.  Our venue is picture-perfect with a variety of spaces, both indoor and out, that can be customized to transform your Pinterest dreams into a reality. From the iconic chandelier in Walker Atrium to the natural beauty of the Rose Garden, our venue is a perfect backdrop for pictures.  

“Within just three days of the tornadoes, they helped us reimagine our plans and craft a new vision to transform the Walton Arts Center into the wedding of our dreams Filled with laughter, love and those unforgettable moments we’ll cherish forever.”

“We are immensely grateful for the talent and dedication of the wonderful people who rallied to make our day so special, turning a potential setback into a celebration we will always remember.”
