At Walton Arts Center, the magic of the theater extends beyond our stages to make your wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or engagement party an event to remember. High school sweethearts, Julia Rogers and Caleb Finney, chose Walton Arts Center as their perfect venue and transformed the space into the chic, classic black and white reception of their dreams. 

Get inspired by the Finney's wedding and imagine how Walton Arts Center can host your picture-perfect event. “It truly was one of the best events I have ever been a part of,” Erin Rogers, mother of the bride, explained. “Most of that was because of you and your team and how easy you were to work with. Thank you so much for the best day!"  

As featured in Arkansas Bride magazine, the Finney's hosted their reception in Walker Atrium and Pace Lobby, one of most popular event spaces.  Their color pallet was strictly black and white, creating a sophisticated and elegant look. “Right before I got engaged, I remember seeing a June 2022 wedding all over Pinterest that was at the New York Public Library,” Julia told Arkansas Bride. “It was a classic black and white wedding with white flowers and lots of candles. From that point on, I knew that’s what I wanted.” 

Walton Arts Center’s location in the heart of Dickson Street, makes it a premier event space. And, with years of event management and production experience by your side, you can enjoy your event stress-free. Selecting a venue for your special day can be a hard decision, so let us make it easy.
