Where is the wedding?
Our ceremony will take place at Anthony Chapel in the beautiful Garvan Woodland Gardens, Hot Springs AR.
The reception will follow at Crystal Ridge Distillery, which is a 15-minute drive from the chapel. It is a moonshine and vodka distillery, so prepare your livers.
Can we explore the gardens before the ceremony?
Yes! We highly recommend arriving by 4:00pm at the latest. Your admissions to the entire gardens are fully included for the whole day, just give your name to security. You will have access to the stunning gardens before the ceremony begins. It's the perfect chance to stroll, relax, and take some gorgeous photos!
Can we take photos in the garden?
Absolutely! Feel free to take personal photos during your garden stroll.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony is in a breathtaking glass chapel surrounded by forest--indoors, but with floor-to-ceiling views of nature! The reception will also be indoors.
Is there parking on-site?
Yes! Garvan Woodland Gardens has free on-site parking. There will be signages starting from the main entrance and attendants to guide you to the right spot.
The reception venue has an open parking lot as well, right behind the building.
What is the dress code?
We’d love for our guests to come dressed in garden formal attire to match the natural beauty of the venue.
Ladies: Pastel colors, soft tones, or florals. Think romantic and airy—great for photos and strolling through the gardens!
Gentlemen: Cowboy suits, boots—Western formal is totally welcome. Or stick with a classic blazer and slacks if that’s more your style.
Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes for walking in the gardens—you can always change into your fancier shoes before the ceremony!
Are children welcome?
We love your little ones—but to help us keep things intimate and relaxed, we're kindly requesting no children at the wedding, except for our adorable flower girl and ring bearers. We hope you understand, and we’re so grateful for your support as we celebrate this special day!
Will there be food and drinks?
No food or drinks are allowed inside Anthony Chapel, but don’t worry—you won’t go hungry!
🍴 There’s a café inside Garvan Woodland Gardens where you can grab a snack or drink before the ceremony, called the Chipmunk Café.
🍽️ And we’ve got you covered at the reception! There will be plenty of food, drinks, and yes… DRANKS 🥂🎉
How long do we get to party?
'Til the clock strikes 12!
