The Ballroom at I Street | Bentonville
Mother-daughter team Danise Smith and Breann Ashford opened The Ballroom at I Street in 2016 after remodeling a 1930s home into a stunning and spacious venue that can accommodate up to 300 guests. The grounds feature an intimate outdoor courtyard that is a popular spot for bridal portraits and smaller ceremonies, while a “bridal party house” on-site features salon-style make-up stations as well as a comfortable groomsmen’s hangout. No need to worry about seating rentals—clients who book The Ballroom at I Street can choose from a variety of sizes and styles of tables and chairs for use during the ceremony and reception. Additionally, the services of a day-of coordinator are included to help handle all the day’s details.
