Record Downtown

Record Downtown is a distinctive event venue in the heart of Bentonville, Arkansas, offering a flexible setting for weddings, corporate gatherings, conferences, fundraisers, parties, concerts and community events. Housed in a former newspaper building and mid-century car dealership, the venue combines industrial character with practical facilities for modern event production.

The open-plan interior can be arranged for different event formats, from seated dinners and wedding receptions to theatre-style presentations, networking sessions, trade shows and live performances. Organisers can work with the venue team to select the right layout and use as much or as little of the available space as their event requires. Record Downtown can accommodate up to 350 seated guests or approximately 600 people for a cocktail-style event.

For business organisers, the venue supports meetings, conferences, presentations, summits, product launches, retreats, networking events and company celebrations. Built-in audiovisual facilities, screens, projectors, microphones and lighting help teams create a professional event without starting from an empty shell. The central downtown location also places guests close to restaurants, hotels, shops, cultural attractions and entertainment.

Wedding couples and private hosts can use Record Downtown for ceremonies, receptions, bridal events, birthday parties, baby showers, anniversary celebrations and rehearsal dinners. The venue offers customisable rental options, event-specific layouts, tables and chairs, outdoor space, kitchen access and support from an experienced events team. Its connections with local suppliers can also help organisers coordinate catering, styling, entertainment and other event details.

With its exposed brick, concrete floors, high ceilings, garage-style doors, flexible floor plan and welcoming team, Record Downtown gives organisers a versatile backdrop that can be tailored to the character of each occasion.
