When teams come together for meetings or retreats, the setting affects focus and energy more than people expect. We host corporate events at Wildwood Chapel and Event Venue for groups that want space to think clearly, connect without distractions, and stay close by overnight.

A Mountain Setting That Supports Productive Meetings

Wildwood Chapel and Event Venue is located at 11706 AR 309 in Paris, Arkansas, serving Logan County and nearby areas. Our property sits near Mount Magazine State Park, with the lodge only about five minutes away. The lodge offers 65 guest rooms, which gives corporate groups a nearby place to stay without spreading people across different locations.

This setup works well for leadership retreats, planning sessions, and company gatherings where guests arrive the evening before, meet during the day, and continue conversations after sessions wrap up.

Flexible Spaces for Meetings and Group Sessions

Corporate events are typically hosted in our adjacent venue, which accommodates up to 100 guests for meetings, receptions, and gatherings. The space supports seated meetings, discussion based sessions, or casual networking, depending on how your day is structured.

Wildwood Chapel seats up to 75 guests and is sometimes chosen for smaller meetings or presentations that benefit from a quieter environment. Both spaces are on the same property, so your group stays together throughout the event.

Food Setup That Gives Planners Control

Our venue includes a kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, freezer, and serving counter. Restaurant grade coffee and tea makers are also available, which makes it easy to keep drinks ready during meetings and breaks.

Groups are welcome to bring their own food. For corporate events, this often means catered lunches, boxed meals, or shared platters arranged by the planner. This flexibility allows teams to choose what works best for their group and schedule.

Easy Transitions From Meetings to Social Time

A Bluetooth sound system that connects to a phone is available for background music during breaks or informal gatherings. For evening socials, we offer a movable bar inside and an outside bar option for patio areas when the weather allows.

Many corporate groups meet during the day, then shift into relaxed conversation on site before heading back to the lodge for the evening.

A Setting With History and Calm

Wildwood Chapel is a restored one room schoolhouse that dates back to 1903. While corporate planners often focus on function first, many appreciate the steady and grounded feel of a space with real history. It creates a slower pace that helps teams stay present and engaged.
