Magical Wedding Day

Forever started here… ✨🌿

Standing in the heart of the Ozarks, wrapped in nature, glass, and God’s quiet whisper… we said I do.

This moment doesn’t even feel real — the way the world faded to black and white, and all that was left in full color was us. Our love. Our promise. Our new beginning.

Thorncrown Chapel was everything we dreamed of… sacred, peaceful, and filled with a kind of beauty you can’t put into words.

Here’s to the man who loves me through every season, every chapter, every storm and sunrise. And here’s to a lifetime of walking this path together, hand in hand. 🤍

💍✨ Mr. & Mrs. Todd

Perfect Venue

We are Eureka regulars and our favorite thing about the location is the architecture but we also love all the beautiful greenery and springs so when we got engaged wetting married at Thorncrown was a no-brainer. We didn't want a lot of fuss or headache dealing with friends or family so it was just us and our mothers. Since we were getting married on a Monday they let us do the elopement package even with the 2 guests which was great! We had no issues and everything was clean and well organized as they do a lot of weddings there so they no what they're doing.

Beautiful!!!

After having to postpone their wedding in Maryland twice due to Covid, our daughter & her fiance decided to have a mini wedding in Eureka Springs with immediate family. With a month to plan a third wedding long distance we reached out to the Thorncrown Chapel for the ceremony. From the very first email asking for information, Cheryl Hoffman was amazing to work with. She was so patient and promptly answered our many phone calls & emails. The chapel is absolutely beautiful, but what made the wedding so special is that Cheryl went above & beyond to accommodate the special needs we had with the Bride's ailing Grandfather who was performing the ceremony. Cheryl helped make our small family wedding truly special & memorable!!

Beautiful June wedding

This was a beautiful venue, placed in the middle of the forest! Wonderful to work with the minister. They had a small office for the bridesmaids and I to wait in, which was thankfully air conditioning!! I watched people walking in, which was nice. Fantastic place! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a day to remember.

Amazing in every way possible!

Cherly is seriously such a wonderful person to work with. My fiance and I have a very crazy work schedule. Not to mention we're in RI with EST. So playing phone tag is normal for us at this point. But she made it so easy to get in touch with her thanks to the great availability she offers. We really wanted our ceremony at Thorn Crown and she made it possible! Couldn't be happier!

This was my dream location to get married in, I wouldn't have it any other way! Cheryl was so lovely to work with, and responded so quick to any emails or phone calls I had. We had tornado warnings and it poured on my wedding night, but it was so lovely nonetheless. It had beautiful lighting even with the rain. I can't wait to go back! :)

We had our wedding here, and it was super cold outside and we ended up putting the wrong time on the invitations, because it would only let us put the hour and not the minutes. We were early showing up, and they accommodated us and let us start early. The service and the setting was amazingly beautiful.

I'm so happy we decided to go with Thorncrown Chapel for our wedding, especially considering the extremely high prices of other chapels we considered that aren't as architecturally interesting.

Our destination wedding, at the Thorncrown Chapel, was a dream come true. This chapel is breathtakingly gorgeous. It is the perfect setting for an intimate, romantic and spiritual gathering amongst family, friends nature and God. The feeling of being surrounded by un-spoiled natural beauty is a feeling of peace, awe, wonder and love. The Pastor that performed the ceremony was genuine, kind and certainly made us feel like it was our destiny to be committing our lives to one another in this place. From the moment I reached out to the staff at the Thorncrown to the moment we said goodbye after the ceremony, every interaction was favorable and just what I would hope for when working with a venue to plan a wedding. You will not be disappointed if you choose to say "I do" at the Thorncrown Chapel.

I can't say enough about this chapel. It is one of the most beautiful chapels I have ever seen. I have always wanted to get married here and I am glad I did! Cheryl was great and was very helpful and quick to respond. Patricia, the musician was wonderful as well. She was able to learn some sheet music I requested on short notice. Everyone was great and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!

What's not to love about a glass chapel in the Ozarks... This place is magical and anyone that can be lucky enough to get married there are in for a dream wedding.

We got married in Eureka Springs directly due to the ceremony location. This place is gorgeous and fit in perfectly with the kind of wedding we envisioned. This is such a great site for photographs and in person, the chapel is just the right size--not too small or too big. The rental cost also comes with an officiant and sound person but we chose to provide our own. All of the people associated with the chapel are super friendly and accommodating and the ceremony was amazing! I'm so pleased with our choice of location and love that the chapel is tucked away in the woods. So beautiful!

Thorncrown Chapel is a glass chapel right outside of Eureka Springs. It is absolutely gorgeous.

I loved it! The wedding was so pretty. It's a perfect place to get married.

Incredible. Our wedding was gorgeous. No decor was needed, simply because of how beautiful Thorncrown is; if you're in the area-check it out. It's more than worth it.

The staff is courteous, friendly, and accommodating. The location is, as said before, gorgeous, and your guests will absolutely love it.

They're a little bit hard to get hold of because of shortened business hours and no email, but she always got back to me the next day. And they're so inexpensive!

My husband and I are both architects, so we fell in love with this stunning chapel the moment we saw it! The photos we had seen online did not do it justice. If you are looking for a peaceful wedding venue with a unique design in a natural setting, you will not be disappointed with Thorncrown Chapel. We had no issues with the staff prior to booking, but be warned that they are not kidding around with their time frames. We arrived about 10 minutes early and had to wait in the parking lot despite the previous wedding already being cleared out. Additionally, the woman that was there on the day of kind of hovered during our portraits after the ceremony and reminded us several times what time we needed to finish up by. I know she was just doing her job, but it was a little distracting. Small price to pay for such a lovely setting, though, and our wedding photos turned out BEAUTIFUL. I can't imagine us having gotten married anywhere else!

Thorncrown is AMAZING. It is a little pricier than other venues ($450 for up to 100 guests), but it is worth it to get married there. The staff is friendly and stays out of your way. They also make sure you get your full hour and a half (the typical rental period unless you rent for two periods back to back for twice the cost), which was helpful when the bridezilla who had the wedding after ours showed up while we were still taking photos.

Thorncrown was lovely to work with overall. We had the smallest snafu because a ton of family arrived early, and we wanted to get some pictures by trees (not even near the chapel), and they didn't seem very thrilled about that situation. But, in the end the head lady let the grandmas go sit in the chapel early to get out the heat and everything went very smoothly, and they were kind. My advice is to make sure to COMMUNICATE absolutely everything you even think about doing.

Thorncrown Chapel is a very unique wedding venue. My youngest daughter found them and wanted to take a look. We did and loved the setting and the feel of the site. You get the feel and look of an outdoor wedding without the weather related issues of an outdoor wedding.

The only reason 5 stars wasn't given in all areas is; I had asked quiet a few questions leading up to my daughter's wedding that were not really answered. This could've been just a misunderstanding but nonetheless, had those questions been answered it would've made the event run more smoothly. Another issue was the time allotted - you book the venue in 1 1/2 hour intervals. The first 30 minutes is talking with the minister - the next 15-20 minutes is for the ceremony - you have to have all pictures taken and the premises vacated by the end of the 1 1/2 hour time allotment. It all felt a little rushed and had we known the need to have all the flowers (boutonnieres) on the men prior to getting there, we would've.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind when booking Thorncrown Chapel as your wedding venue. Other than that, the experience was wonderful and the minister and all did a wonderful job.

You have to use their pre written service we were able to make small changes to personalize. The chapel is beautiful day or night. Will only seat about 100.

Resolved: Thorncrown Chapel

Unfortunately, we were unable to have our wedding here due to an illness. Any issues we had with this vendor in rescheduling and reimbursement have been resolved. Missed communications were primarily to blame.

Thorncrown Chapel is absolutely beautiful and the price is reasonable for a wedding venue. Before my daughter's wedding the woman I spoke with on the phone was very informative, nice, and accommodating. However, the day of the wedding we felt like cattle being moved through a line. We were not allowed to enter the parking lot until exactly our appointment time, which was fine. The minister was very nice & patient. But the lady "running" the event was rude, impatient, and very impersonal. People like this need to remember that in their line of work, this is ALWAYS someone's special day. Our group was not rowdy or rude and the lady in charge of the event seemed more intent on getting us out of there in time for the next wedding than she did making sure our time that WE PAID FOR was special. We ended up finishing 20 minutes before our time ended because the lady rushed us so. Our daughter's wedding was very small and we still felt rushed so I would not recommend this to a person with a large wedding party or a longer ceremony. Also, a big huge unsightly trash barrel was right at the end of the path where she insisted we stand and take pictures of the couple leaving. I would suggest the thing be moved further into the parking lot because trash is not allowed at that point anyway.
