"Our goal is to gut all of the main stalls of the stable that are in this 2100 sq. . space and fix it into a big venue that will house 200 plus people," Chris said. "at's still about a year away." As Chris and Melissa have entered the market, they have made a point of pricing themselves to be very competitive with the competition. "We are trying to get the word of mouth out there and out presence known," Chris said. "e rate is pretty affordable. Another aspect of our venue unique from others is that we don't require the customer to use our caterer or our alcoholic beverage supplier. Pretty much all of the surrounding wedding venues have those requirements along with minimums on food, alcohol or entertainment that you have to go through them to get. We think that is a big selling point." Anyone who has been shopping for a wedding venue will know that Bear Mountain is, indeed, very competitive. Only $1,250 gets you the banquet hall, pavilion and Bridal Suite. For an additional price you can rent out the Presidential Suite or one of the spectacular cabins for your honeymoon. Another attractive aspect of the venue is its proximity to the renown orncrown Glass Chapel, very popular for hosting weddings. Nestled in a woodland setting, orncrown Chapel rises forty-eight feet into the Ozark sky. is magnificent wooden structure contains 425 windows and over 6,000 square feet of glass. It sits atop over 100 tons of native stone and colored flagstone, making it blend perfectly with its setting. "We are probably the closest reception venue to the chapel," Chris noted. "We have already done some receptions where the couple were married at orncrown. We see our future tied to them as a wedding location with us providing the reception venue."
