Hot Springs’ lush gardens, sparkling lakes and scenic mountains are the wedding backdrop of so many brides’ dreams. The intimate, friendly city and its many respected wedding professionals help make Hot Springs an easy decision for couples looking for a destination wedding locale. The city’s central location makes it just a short drive from anywhere in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and beyond.

Whether couples are looking for a waterfront view or a lavish ballroom for their I dos, they will find it in Hot Springs. The most well-known venue in town is the Anthony Chapel, part of the 210-acre Garvan Woodland Gardens.

Hot Springs may be a relatively small town, but that works in a bride’s favor. The abundance of easily accessible vendors makes this city a one-stop shop and your wedding as stress free as possible.

When the party’s over, guests can retire to one of Hot Springs’ excellent hotels, bed and breakfasts, lodges or inns. And in a town nicknamed the Spa City, brides would be remiss not to have a day (or even a weekend) of rest and relaxation. Brides who wed in Hot Springs quickly find the experience is a lot less stressful with a massage.
