Intimate Weddings · Near Russellville, Arkansas
Hi!! We are so glad you found us! If you are dreaming of an intimate wedding close to home, Gateley Hill Gardens sits just across the Arkansas River from Russellville, tucked into 20 acres of grounds at the foot of Mt. Nebo. You get all the beauty of a destination venue without the drive, the stress, or the giant guest list.
We built this place for couples who want their wedding to feel personal and unhurried, not packed into a ballroom on a schedule. You will marry in a white stucco chapel that Josh built by hand, get ready in your own bridal suite and groom's room, and celebrate across 20 acres of grounds and gardens with up to 70 of your favorite people. Because Crystal is your on-site wedding planner and floral designer, you are never wondering who is in charge. She is right there, all day.
We keep planning simple with three all-inclusive packages, so you are not chasing a dozen vendors from Russellville. Choose the Minimony, the Midimony, or the Maximony, and your chapel, gardens, planning, and fresh garden florals come built in.
Weekday dates start even lower, from $4,000. And if you already have your own planner, our Open Gate venue rental starts at $4,500 for 12 hours of access.
An on-site wedding planner and floral designer (Crystal), a day-of coordinator, fresh garden florals, the chapel, the reception hall, the bridal suite, full setup and cleanup, and grounds we maintain year-round so it looks the way the photos look. Price it out in our package builder →
We are just across the Arkansas River from Russellville, about 15 minutes away at the foot of Mt. Nebo. Close enough for easy planning visits and for your guests to sleep in their own beds, yet tucked away enough to feel truly special. Close enough to say yes to without a second thought.
