Snowden House

Snowden House is a historic colonial-style estate situated on the banks of Horseshoe Lake in Hughes, Arkansas — just 32 miles from downtown Memphis across the Mississippi River. The Louisiana-style plantation home is framed by grand magnolias and oaks and bordered by cypress trees at the water's edge, offering a lakefront setting steeped in Arkansas Delta character and history. Three distinct spaces accommodate a range of gatherings. The spacious lawn hosts outdoor ceremonies and receptions for up to 400 guests, with the historic home serving as a dramatic natural backdrop. The formal living room — featuring a Carrera marble fireplace and three-panel gilded mirror — welcomes up to 125 guests for indoor ceremonies and receptions. The dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for rehearsal dinners, bridal brunches, and private parties. The lakefront mansion offers overnight accommodations for guests, and the venue provides round-trip shuttle service from Memphis for out-of-town visitors. Venue owner Martha McKay and her staff are on site to provide direction and support throughout each event.
