Alda's Magnolia Hill

We were so pleased with our daughter's wedding held at Alda's Magnolia Hill. Alda and Buddy were so attentive and every detail was taken care of. Alda stayed on schedule and it was absolutely beautiful! The service was great. She truly cares about you and you feel like part of their family. The caterers were great as well. I cannot say enough nice things about our experience. I had so many compliments from friends and family about this being the best wedding they had ever attended!

Since I was a little girl I have dreamed of having a southern style princess wedding. This past Saturday (April 14th), those dreams came true. Alda definitely takes care of the bride on her big day. She has things planned down to the minute and knows the perfect solutions to any problems that may occur. The venue was absolutely perfect for my dream of a southern style wedding. From the view of the pond to the horse drawn carriage, my big day was absolutely perfect! I didn't have to worry about a thing. I could actually relax and enjoy every part of my day. I owe everything to Mrs. Alda and Mr. Buddy. They want the absolute best for each bride that has a wedding there. They are such wonderful people!!!

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!

My son and his beautiful bride were recently married at Alda's Magnolia Hill and everything was absolutely perfect!!!! Mr. Buddy and Mrs. Alda go above and beyond to make sure everything is absolutely wonderful!! This beautiful historic place turns a wedding into a fairytale!! Thanks to Mr Buddy and Mrs Alda for making this very special day FANTASTIC!! God bless you both!!

My son and his beautiful bride were married today at Alda's Magnolia Hill. The decorations were beautiful, the music perfect, the entire day was wonderful! From the canoe entrance of the groom and best man, to the carriage ride of the bride and her dad, every detail added to the sweetness of the day:) Thank you, Alda and Buddy, for a most wonderful wedding day for our kids!!

Mrs. Alda and Mr. Buddy are really nice! They made sure that everything went off without any problems!

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 experience at Magnolia Hill was just magical. I truly appreciate ALL of your EXTRAS! Thank you soooo much! Alda and Mr. Buddy are so wonderful to work with. Once again, thank you for adding to the "happiness"!

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!!

Alda made me feel just like family! She was gracious and helpful and even designed the flowers. I could call her anytime and she always was helpful and incredibly knowledgeable!! The stone altar next to the lake was an absolutely gorgeous setting! They even had a horse and white wedding carriage!!! It made everything absolutely perfect!

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.

i really enjoyed having my wedding at aldas and buddys. even though my wedding was rainy and a storm was coming alda gave what she said she would. although there were some bumps in the road i hope she enjoyed having us. i did feel alittle rushed and pushed throughout the day and because of the weather alot wasnt done like our dance. but all in all i loved this place and buddy and alda were a joy to have and share our day with.

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!

What a wonderful day! Alda and Buddy made the day so special! Watching my daughter get out of the white horse-drwan carriage and walk down the aisle and get married at the stone altar beside the lake brought tears to my eyes! Thanks to all their help, they answered every question and even came up with some ideas of their own to make the day even more special!

The horse and carriage made the day perfect. Buddy and Alda you were both unbelievable! Patient and caring, you answered all of my questions! You spent so much time with us! Thank you for making our day so perfect! It was amazing how beautiful the ceremony by the lake was! The geese floating on the water and the warm sun added to the perfect ambiance! Thank you both so much!! I felt just like a princess getting out of the carriage in front of all my family and friends!

Aldas Magnolia hill was wonderful! We felt right at home. The place was really great and Alda was so helpful with my mother who was in a wheelchair. They took her where she needed to go in a golf cart and really made the whole day special! The wedding was the prettiest I had ever seen. She had ferns lining the aisle! Thanks Alda!

As a bridesmaid, I have never seen a wedding as beautiful as this was at Magnolia Hill. We were so blessed with a cool evening and the stars over the lake made us feel like we were out in the country, but we were really in the city. The brides' dressing room, was filled with antiques, and we enjoyed getting dressed. The outdoor kitchen was really cool too. I loved the benches that were at the ceremony, and the stone altar was right at the edge of the lake. Watching the bride and her father come around the lake in the horse and carriage was like a fairy tale. The Ellis's were behind the scene making sure everything ran perfect...and we think it did!

Just wanted to say what a beautiful wedding my sister had at your venue. She was so pleased with all the hard work that went with the ceremony to make it perfect. Watching the horse and carriage was so moving and the reception was wonderful as well. It is such a beautiful setting we did not want to leave. It was our perfect day!

Just wanted to say how beautiful our daughters wedding was. It was a perfect day, and we enjoyed the hospitality of the venue. I would not have changed a thing!

My grandaughters wedding made me cry. When she came around the lake in the horse and carriage, it was so beautiful. Ms. Alda did a super job in making sure all the details were right on.

My wedding was absolutely breathtakeing. It was so much more that I asked for and beyond my expectations. There was nothing to improve on, or nothing I would have done any different. It was absolutely wonderful.

Alda,
My experience at Magnolia Hill was just magical. I truly appreciate ALL of your EXTRAS! Thank you soooo much! Give Mr. Buddy a hug for me. Once again, thank you for adding to the "happiness"!

" Just wanted to thank you so much for making Kacey's wedding so wonderful. I was so very pleased with everything. I have even had several people want to know who made the cake."

Alda is a true Southern Lady! She opens her home with grace, and runs her house efficiently :) Working with Alda is easy and an absolute pleasure!

I love this venue....I have used it for personal and for my brides. It is beautiful all seasons of the year.

A beautiful venue with many options for the perfect outdoor wedding/event!

We have worked with Alda for years. What ever Alda touches she give it her all. She has great design knowledge and a wonderful vision of how to make things beautiful. She is always a pleasure to work with and everything she does she does to perfection! Cakes by Sam, Inc. highly recommends Alda's Magnolia Hill as a venue for your wedding.

I recommend the services of Alda's Magnolia Hill to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155

Alda and Buddy make the best team. Every time I step foot on their property, Magnolia Hill, I'm overwhelmed with the elegant grace and peace of the place. Alda herself is the most gracious hostess, and she can make your vision happen! Highly recommend Alda's Magnolia Hill for your venue.

Alda's Magnolia Hill is one of my favorite venues to host a wedding on. It is absolutely breathtaking. If you want to have a wedding that your guest will always remember this is the place to be. There is a horse and carriage, beautiful lakes, sparkling pool, plenty of parking, lovely bridal suite, and the groomsmen quarters are simply outstanding! Brides and Grooms can also have a dove release, and fireworks show. The owners of the property are so gracious and hospitable that you will wish you could stay over night. This is one of the most amazing wedding venues I have ever been on. It is the definition of southern elegance!!
