Our Story
When Caleb and I were planning our wedding, I instantly became obsessed with the wedding world. After our wedding, I wasn’t ready to let go. I worked at my mom’s bridal shop on the weekends when a coworker suggested I build a wedding venue. I knew right away… This is my calling! Since then, Caleb and I have been pouring our hearts and our souls into designing a timeless wedding venue of your dreams! We searched for the perfect land to build on and luckily stumbled across the 50 acres in 2018. When we bought it, there were three old houses and unfortunately unsalvageable. We did everything we could to keep the fireplace that was attached to one of the houses when tearing them down. That fireplace is now the center of the entire venue and is the perfect spot for pictures, drinks, and lounging!

Hey y’all! My name is Shelby Stephens and this is my pride and joy. I grew up in Maud and went to college at the University of Central Arkansas. Go Bears! I graduated in 2015 with a bachelors degree in chemistry. I worked in a local lab for 6 years, but couldn’t manage the two jobs so in 2023, I made this my full time job! I love all things fitness, interior design, The Office, and of course WEDDINGS! My favorite past times include working out or playing with our cute little pups, Dusty and Maple. Caleb and I married in 2017, in my favorite place in the entire world, Hot Springs Arkansas at the Anthony Chapel. In the last 7 years we have traveled, built our shophouse, and began CS Stephens Designs where Caleb and I restore/build houses in the area. I never in a million years would have believed the life I am living now with my best friend doing my favorite things and calling it
”work”.
