Southern Charm Wedding Venue sits on a private 80-acre country property at 1514 Tippitt Rd in Lonoke, Arkansas, offering a 5-acre pond and a rustic setting for weddings and events. Owner Staci Smith brings 17 years of floral design expertise to this venue, having previously operated Emily's Flowers & Gifts for 12 years before pursuing her dream of owning a dedicated event space. The venue features bridal and groom suites alongside a picturesque arbor perfect for ceremony backdrops. With a 4.6-star rating from 43 reviews, Southern Charm serves couples and families throughout Lonoke and the surrounding Arkansas communities.
