From Soaring Ceilings to Stained Glass
How The Sanctuary at Argenta Transforms
Corporate & Social Events in 2025–2026
A Historic Space Reimagined
Located in the heart of the Argenta Arts District, The Sanctuary at Argenta has been meticulously restored into a breathtaking event venue that celebrates both its past and its potential.
Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, intricate stained-glass windows, and warm lighting that creates an almost cinematic feel. It’s a space that inspires awe — and photographs beautifully from every angle.
Despite its historic charm, the venue is fully equipped for today’s events: customizable lighting, generous floor space for staging or dining layouts, and acoustics that make speeches, live music, or presentations sound incredible.
The Perfect Venue for Corporate Events, Galas, and Fundraisers
For organizations and event planners, The Sanctuary delivers the elusive mix of sophistication and functionality. It’s a venue that impresses clients without feeling stuffy, and creates a sense of occasion that goes far beyond a typical banquet hall.
Why businesses love it:
- Flexible open floor plan ideal for conferences, luncheons, and product launches.
- Stunning visuals for corporate photography and branding opportunities.
- Easy access to downtown Little Rock and major highways for guests.
- Ample space for A/V setups, live entertainment, and vendor displays.
Hosting a fundraiser or gala? The Sanctuary’s dramatic backdrop adds gravitas to every moment — from donor receptions to award presentations.
A Show-Stopping Space for Social Events
The Sanctuary isn’t just for business — it’s a favorite for social events, weddings, and private celebrations that call for something extraordinary.
Imagine celebrating an anniversary under stained-glass light, hosting a winter party with live music echoing through the vaulted ceilings, or saying your vows in a venue filled with history and soul.
This is more than an event space; it’s an experience that elevates every milestone.
Double the Impact: Pair The Sanctuary with E.O. Manees House
For larger or multi-day events, the ability to combine The Sanctuary at Argenta with its sister property, the E.O. Manees House, offers unmatched flexibility.
Host a ceremony or cocktail hour in the gardens at the Manees House, then move guests to The Sanctuary for dinner, dancing, or an after-party. The proximity of the two venues in the Argenta Arts District makes it easy to create a seamless flow — while giving guests two breathtaking settings in one event experience.
Plan Ahead for 2025–27 Bookings
The Sanctuary at Argenta has quickly become one of Central Arkansas’s most in-demand venues, with bookings already underway for 2026 and 2027.
If you’re planning a corporate event, holiday party, wedding reception, or social celebration, it pays to secure your date early. Mid-week or off-season bookings are also growing in popularity — offering more flexibility and often better pricing.
Pro tip: Use your tour to discuss lighting, layout, and vendor coordination options. The Sanctuary’s team can recommend trusted local caterers, decorators, and planners who know the space well.
Why The Sanctuary Stands Out in Central Arkansas
When it comes to event venues in Central Arkansas, few spaces can match The Sanctuary’s blend of history, artistry, and adaptability. It’s ideal for:
- Corporate events that need sophistication without rigidity.
- Social and private events where ambiance and storytelling matter.
- Special events that deserve a space as remarkable as the occasion itself.
Whether you fill it with a jazz band and dinner tables or a minimalist stage and branding banners, this venue gives you the freedom to craft the event you’ve imagined — and the setting to make it unforgettable.
