Hidden in the forest’s emerald embrace, Anthony’s Chapel rises like a dream from a fantasy realm. Its towering glass walls and delicate wooden arches seem to be a work of imagination and magic, as if the elves themselves had woven a cathedral of light from the trees.
Entering the interior, you feel as if you are in another world – in a secret elven kingdom, where nature and architecture speak the same language. The chapel does not conquer the forest, but bows before it, echoing the rhythm of the trunks and branches, in harmony with the singing of birds and the distant rustle of the wind in the leaves. Here, time slows down.
Whether you want an elegant wedding in a stunning chapel with a vaulted glass ceiling that reaches to the sky or an intimate, romantic outdoor ceremony in lush gardens, Garvan Woodland Gardens has the perfect setting.
With breathtaking bridges, waterfalls and cascades, stunning architectural features, and beautiful flowers and trees year-round, Garvan Gardens is the perfect setting for starting a lifetime of memories.
Garvan Gardens is the 210-acre botanical garden of the University of Arkansas, located on the shore of beautiful Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Only 45 minutes southwest of Little Rock, we’re also surrounded by the beautiful Ouachita Mountains.
As soon as you enter the botanical oasis, you’ll see why Garvan Woodland Gardens has been recognized as one of the most spectacular gardens in America. Here, the line between the human and the magical is erased, and for a moment, you belong entirely to the silent majesty of the forest.
Anthony Chapel typically books in 3-hour time slots from 10 AM until 1 PM in the morning, 1:30 – 4:30 PM in the afternoon, or 5 – 8 PM in the evening. Wedding Coordinators are required for all weddings with 15 or more people. Current prices and detailed information can be found on the official website.
