Did you catch the two-page spread in our new Fall/Winter 2013 issue on what makes Eureka Springs such a beautiful, memorable wedding locale?
It's true: Romance is bountiful in Eureka Springs. It's home to both the world-famous Thorncrown Chapel and the majestic 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa, two reasons why this Victorian village nestled in the Ozarks is now called “The Wedding Capital of the South."
The wedding experts at the Crescent Hotel sent us these 10 helpful tips on planning a wedding there. Susan Dickson, sales manager and member of the Crescent wedding team, reminds us just how in demand the Thorncrown Chapel really is.
“Due to the tremendous popularity of Thorncrown, not everyone can be accommodated," she says. "But those who plan their wedding through us can book Thorncrown more than a year out, validating tip No. 1." Talk about a major perk!
Skim the tips below for the team's nuggets of wisdom, and check out the full list at EurekaSpringsWeddings.travel.
