“Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a wedding somewhere you have never been sounds even more stressful, but when you have Destination Rogers helping, all the stress goes away! My now husband and I decided we did not want the stress of planning a big wedding in our hometown in Virginia. We wanted to have a small intimate ceremony with family. I saw the Thorncrown Chapel on TV and knew that was where we should say “I Do.” We booked the chapel and had no idea what we were going to do from there. This is when I started researching the area and found Rogers. I reached out to Destination Rogers and they made everything SO easy. They provided me the best of the best from where to get our marriage license, hair, makeup, restaurants, florists, limo service and hotels. They even took care of booking our rooms! They made what is typically a very stressful time, the most relaxing and fun experience ever! My family still raves about our wedding and how amazing Rogers, Arkansas is. None of my guests, nor myself, had ever been to Arkansas and we are so glad we decided to take our Arkansas adventure to Rogers. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. I cannot thank Destination Rogers enough for making my wedding weekend a huge success and making sure everything was planned to a tee! I couldn’t have done it without the help they provided!”

“I cannot say enough about the turnout for the Arkansas Nutrition Conference. A record of 395 attendees listened and learned from 15 speakers on current topics. They also had the opportunity to network with many more in the industry. This would not be possible without the gracious support from companies and organizations like Visit Rogers. As a result of that conference, five graduate level students received $44,000 in total scholarship funding to help further their education. With this year’s attendance and support, many deserving students will once again benefit. Thank you for your sponsorship and participation in making this conference a success.”

“Our guests came to Rogers from Arizona to North Carolina. Fifteen states were represented. They loved Northwest Arkansas. Our ladies group spent an afternoon shopping at the great Pinnacle Hills at the Promenade. Several of our guys played a great round of golf at a local golf course. Our previous four meetings have been in Alaska, at Disney World, at Williamsburg, VA, and Savannah. I was a little nervous about trying to stack up against that list. Northwest Arkansas and Rogers were well accepted and we have nothing but positive reports. Thanks for your generosity. Also, we owe a special thanks to Visit Rogers for their help and support.”

“It was a sincere pleasure to work with Destination Rogers when we hosted the NAFSA Region III conference in Rogers at the Embassy Suites. It was a highly successful conference thanks to the great location, resources available to us and the warm hospitality we received from the visitors bureau!”

“I am just back in Australia after attending my sixth ALPCA convention in ten years and I am constrained to write offering my congratulations to all concerned in the organizing and conduct of this excellent event. I have never been unhappy with a convention but this one was the best – excellent accommodation and convention facilities all in a bright and appealing location. The bar has been set to a new high. One of my colleagues and I took the opportunity to visit the beautiful little town of Eureka Springs and separately, the Walton’s 5 and 10 museum at nearby Bentonville, both of which added to the enjoyment of our visit to the [Northwest Arkansas] area. We found the local restaurants well up to scratch as well.

“It was a pleasure working with Destination Rogers for our Bank Management Seminar. They graciously provided our attendees with area information. These were especially helpful to our group since the majority of them were not familiar with the Northwest Arkansas area and were anxious to see what all Rogers had to offer. I appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness from the Destination Rogers team, and plan on using them again the next time we hold our event in Northwest Arkansas!”

“The Sixel Aiport Conference was a VERY successful event! We chose to do an offsite experience to Downtown Rogers during one night of the conference. I would highly recommend to any group visiting the area. It had something for everyone to enjoy.Thank you again for putting the concept into map form, that was essential.”

“Rogers was the perfect location for the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy to base its visit to Northwest Arkansas–the city was convenient to the important works of architecture we toured in Bentonville, Bella Vista and Fayetteville, as well as to the airport and numerous restaurants near our hotel, the Embassy Suites. Thank you to the staff of Destination Rogers for helping our group choose Rogers for our event.”
