Downtown Charm: Q&A with Loft 1023

October 12, 2020 by weddingsar

With historic architecture, exposed brick walls, and elegant chandeliers overhead, Loft 1023 has a warm, welcoming feel. What’s more, its location in the heart of downtown Little Rock makes it an incredibly convenient choice for couples who want their guests to take in the beauty and fun of central Arkansas. It’s no wonder guests continue to refer to the venue as a hidden gem. Read on to learn more in our exclusive Q&A with venue manager and owner Tani Joiner.

Weddings in Arkansas: Tell us a bit about the historic nature of this venue.

Tani Joiner: Loft 1023 is located in the West 7th Street Historic District of downtown Little Rock and has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1918, many of its original vestiges can still be seen—from its windows to the pulley system and original fire door. It has an amazing character and charm.

Lovesick Wedding Festival Isn’t Your Typical Wedding Show

August 19, 2019 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

April Walsh of Freckled Fox Photography, along with an expansive list of Arkansas wedding vendors, are hosting a wedding festival that is anything but traditional or been-there, done-that. Read below for a Q&A with the woman behind it all on what you need to know about the event this weekend at Kindred Barn in Northwest Arkansas. 

Weddings in AR: In your words, how would you describe Lovesick Wedding Festival?

April Walsh, Freckled Fox Photography: Lovesick is going to be a wedding festival showcasing talented local vendors who focus on fun, modern wedding design. It’ll make finding a creative team convenient for hip, fun couples with none of the traditional big-box wedding show feeling. Every booth and styled seating area will feel interactive and be full of modern design ideas. The space will feel like a fun summer party or festival, with local music, snacks and beverages, and every booth feels almost like a styled shoot. The event will be free to attend. …

in the details: choosing a venue

May 28, 2013 by weddingsar

We are so happy to have Amy Hardin with Details Weddings & Events guest blogging for us today. She’s going to be sharing lots of insider wedding information, tips and tricks for planning your big day in the coming months. We want to give her a big welcome. Thanks, Amy!
  

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk to all of you who might currently be searching for venues. There are so many things to consider when choosing this incredibly vital part of your wedding. From pricing to staffing, I’m here to help you find the space that’s right for you!

Tip 1 : Size Matters

When choosing your venue, make sure you ask very specific questions about the number of people the space can hold. Many venues have printed materials that state how many people can attend an event in their space. These can be unintentionally misleading. Often, that large number of guests you see (or are told the facility can handle by a venue rep) on the info sheets fits into the room in a way that you would never want for your wedding. If your venue ever hosts non social events (think conferences) they are fitting a ton more people in that room than you will be. A business conference doesn’t need a dance floor and space for a band, two bars and food stations – you do! This is where your wedding planner can help guide you through the actual capacity of local venues. The last thing you want is for your wedding guests to be squeezed into a room and have no additional space for dancing or specialty decor.

Tip 2 : What (and Who) is Included

Once you start to compare your (appropriately sized) venue options, it’s very important to be comparing apples to apples. What is included in your venue fee? Is it just the space and everything else (tables, chairs, staff) will be an additional fee? Is it all inclusive, will their staff set up and tear down your tables as well as serve as your bartenders and servers? A venue might seem really expensive on the front end, but once you see all that is included, it might actually be the most budget friendly option. I often find this is the case at country clubs. If you are only paying for the use of the space, have your wedding planner help you rough out the costs of bringing everything (and everyone) in before you sign on the dotted line.

Tip 3: Fine Print

Is your dream to leave your reception surrounded by your friends holding gorgeous sparklers? If so, make sure that is allowed by your venue. Many venues have really cracked down on what is and isn’t allowed as far as things like ‘leave’ items go. Some venues restrict the time of day you can begin your ceremony while others limit the amount of hours you can serve alcohol. It is important to remember that, before you fall in love with a venue’s looks, if you can’t have the wedding YOU want, it’s not worth it. Again, your wedding planner’s experience with venue rules and regulations will help guide you here.
