ABOUT THE APOLLO
My husband and I recently got married at the Apollo on Emma and it was truly more than what we could have hoped for. We worked with Heidi, who helped with planning and execute our vision! Our guests were so impressed by the venue itself and kept saying how unique of a space it was. If you’re looking for a space with character, and history, the Apollo on Emma is for you!

The Apollo on Emma is truly a gem in the heart of Northwest Arkansas. Heidi embodies Southern charm and grace. Her warm, welcoming nature sets the tone for every event, and her hospitality never goes unnoticed. She is always going above and beyond to ensure her space feels like home for every vendor and every guest.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Heidi at The Apollo on Emma! The venue is a beautifully redesigned old theater that perfectly blends
historic charm with modern amenities. Heidi's meticulous attention to detail and expertise in event management truly sets this place apart. From the moment we began planning, she was incredibly supportive and ensured everything ran smoothly. You'll love the ambiance and the wonderful team, especially Heidi!
