Magnolia Hill was spectacular. Miss Alda and Mr. Buddy were such a pleasure to work with. They were attentive and available throughout the whole process. I did not have any worries or frustrations while working with them. I would definitely recommend Magnolia Hill to anyone looking to have a one of a kind AMAZING wedding. It was truly unforgetable.

This was a great day. Alda and Buddy were very helpful. The setting was spectacular. I am the mother of the bride and did not live in Little Rock I was very blessed to have Alda taking care of things. I felt she would not let us forget anything or make a mistake and I was right. In reading post on our facebook page following the ceremony they all read like, "I just left the most amazing wedding..." and "I just went to the best wedding I have every attended" and this is just two of many. Wedding day is still hectic but it was only hair, make-up, and general getting dressed. We were not setting up tables, calling rental places, and so on. We were enjoying the day. I can't thank Alda and Buddy enough for the wonderful experience. My daughter and I agreed we would not have changed anything. We had the canoe, the carriage and the fireworks.

We had our wedding and reception at Magnolia Hill. It is such a beautiful place. We wanted an outside, fall wedding and it was perfect. Mrs. Alda and Mr. Buddy worked very hard to make our day perfect. They are very professional and know what it takes to make customers happy. Mrs. Alda will do everything from wedding planning to flowers to cakes, anything you need. She makes sure everything runs smoothly so that your family can relax and enjoy the day. She provided the music (classical) for our ceremony. I used all of her suggestions, they were wonderful. She also made all of my wedding flowers including my bouquet, my bridesmaid's bouquets, groomsmens flowers, and all of the large centerpieces and alter flowers all the way down to the rose petals down the isle. She did a wonderful job. I had no idea what i wanted... I carried her pictures of ideas and she made everything elegant and beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better florist, and it was very reasonably priced. She knew i wanted a fall wedding and she used her own fall decor at the reception and we did not have to bring any decorations. She fixed all the reception tables and cake tables and she has such beautiful ideas. I cannot say enough great things about Magnolia Hill. Also, our minister fell thru at the last minute, so Mr. Buddy performed our ceremony. He did it exactly the way I wanted it and he did a beautiful job. They provide so many extra services like the carriage ride and dove release that are just beautiful. Being a Magnolia Hill bride, I also had my bridal portraits made there and they were great. I've had many people email or message me that were at my wedding that said it looked like something out of a magazine or fairy tale. It truly is a place to have a fairy tale wedding! I would not change a thing about any of the services provided by Mr. Buddy and Mrs. Alda at Magnolia Hill.

We had a terrific wedding! Thanks to Alda and Buddy for being such a big help in making our wedding day perfect. There is a strict everyone gone by 10 pm rule...this was ok but I did wish we could have had the place (and dancing) one more hour.I would definitely recommend this venue. It is gorgeous!

Alda and Buddy were wonderful to work with. They truly want your day to be the best and to make you happy with your wedding. My main advice would be to ask lots of questions. We probably didn't ask enough early on. The venue offers lots of options as far as decorating and Alda was more than willing to help with everything. They coordinated with the rest of our vendors making my job much easier and the whole wedding proceeded smoother. This couple loves what they do and it shows.

Alda and Buddy are the perfect hostess/host for a fairytale wedding. My daughter's wedding could not have been more perfect. Alda was very helpful with every detail. She made suggestions from her vast experience that added to the magic of the day. Alda promptly responded to every email and answered all of our questions. She was very helpful and supportive and let us have our wedding our way. Alda keep everything moving smoothly the day of the event. We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you so much Alda and Buddy.

My daughter's wedding was magical!! Alda and Buddy are very organized before the event and the during the rehearsal and wedding they are incredible!! They really know how to take care of their people! Alda is in charge and that is what I wanted. It removes all kinds of stress from the Mother of the Bride! She is there if you have a question, but in the background if you don't. Magnolia Hill is gorgeous! From the canoe arrival with the groom to Buddy and Delilah with the Bride and her Dad, everything is orchestrated to the last detail! Alda was patient and understanding with my daughter. Answering question after question leading up to the event. If you want a magical event, that is not like everyone else, this is the place to be!!

I would highly recommended Alda's Magnolia Hill to an bride for many reasons. Alda is the most caring, thoughtworthy, trusting, hard working, nicest lady I have ever met. Alda's Magnolia Hill has something to offer for everyone. During our reception, a huge storm came through and knocked out the electricity. Alda willingly opened the doors to her own home for my guest. Alda truely cares about the bride and will do anything to keep them satisfied. We chose to do the fireworks display and they did them in the rain just so we could see them. Buddy was our preacher and he really knows how to preach a good wedding. He kept the mood light and kept us all from crying on more than one occasion. I was looking for a stress free easy to plan wedding and found all of that and more at Alda's Magnolia Hill.

I loved this place! From the moment I went to visit Magnolia Hill...I really knew this was the place I wanted to get married!...seriously :) Everything was perfect. All day long I just kept saying how smoothly everything was going and how perfect it all was. Alda kept everything on time. Everything from getting ready, to riding around the lake in the carriage with my dad, to the ceremony and reception was wonderful. I really couldn't have wanted anything more. Many of the guests said how this was the best wedding they had ever been too and everyone thought the place was beautiful. Thank you Alda and Buddy!!

I wouldn't have changed a thing!! :) Everything was Amazing, and so much more then I had hoped for. Thank you SO much for sharing your Beautiful Magnolia Hill with us, and every little detail, I know you put your heart into it all! And a Special thanks to Mrs Delilah and Mr Buddy, for helping with the Ceremony. At one point I was about to lose it and start crying, but the joke he said , once he saw the Ring,... That totally saved Me!! :) (Giggle) and It lightened the mood for everyone! A lot of the Guests commented on how Refreshing the Ceremony was. It wasn't a long drawn out, boring type,... it was Perfect, and Joyful!

I told my wife not to go into our wedding day wanting it to be perfect, so that if things go awry we can still have a good time. Anyway we didn't have to worry because she said it was the most perfect day of her life, and Alda, and Buddy definitely made that happen. They were easy to work with, flexible to make your day the way you want it, and very experienced. We kept as much of the details secret about the wedding as we could to make it a surprise, and both families thought that the groom/best man arriving by canoe, and the bride/father of the bride arriving by stagecoach were very unique, special, and classy. The location is absolutely beautiful and the weather was great for us. I would without a doubt highly recommend them to anyone.

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding. If you want something in a natural, country setting, this is the perfect spot. It was really affordable the owners did everything to make our day perfect they were so sweet and very easy to talk to. If we had an issue we just let them know and they took care of everything for us. Very little decorations were needed as the property was perfectly beautiful already. I'm so glad we had our wedding there. We had a 80% chance of rain on our day (and it's completely an outdoor venue) so you would have to rent tents or have it inside (which is just as lovely) but luckily it stopped raining and we could have ours outdoors as planned.

I could not have dreamed a more perfect location for my wedding. Everything about the location was perfect and Mrs. Alda is the sweetest person. She really helped make my wedding day even more special. If you are looking for an outdoor venue with loads of places for pictures you will not be disappointed!
