Garrison Gardens

Garrison Gardens is a woodland wedding venue set on a wooded property just outside Texarkana, Arkansas, in the Ark-La-Tex region. Towering trees, a pair of converging creeks, and a waterfall feature form the natural backdrop for ceremonies and receptions that accommodate up to 200 guests. The venue offers two distinct ceremony settings: the Donavan Chapel, a striking white chapel with a 43-foot steeple, 24-foot ceilings, ornate beams, cathedral windows, and vintage oak pews; and an outdoor ceremony site framed by a moss-covered stone archway, a wooden pergola with chandelier, and the venue's waterfall. Both spaces are equipped with a built-in sound system. The climate-controlled reception hall seats 194 guests and includes 6-foot round dinner tables, a custom sweetheart table, handcrafted cake table, antique buffet table, and a two-tiered bar. Additional on-site features include a full prep kitchen, a bridal suite, a groom's quarters, handicap-accessible facilities, parking attendants, and shuttle carts. Garrison Gardens hosts one event at a time, giving each couple exclusive use of all facilities on their wedding day.
