“Turnaround was tight since many wedding parties use it even on the same day, but the area is gorgeous and the staff was very polite”
From the reviews
Absolutely breathtaking! This place is like nothing I’ve ever seen before — truly a hidden gem. The architecture is stunning and blends perfectly with nature, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway or even a dream wedding.
We visited Anthony Chapel about a month ago on the last leg of a road trip we deemed The Arkansas Chapel Tour, where we visited all three of the big glass chapels (including Thorncrown, and the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel). Of the three, we actually voted Anthony Chapel in 3rd place.
It’s a gorgeous little walk around. Be aware that it a wedding is going on, you can’t get near. Security will be there. The gardens are $30 per person which might be worth it to some and not to others. Plenty of parking in the area though.
Anthony Chapel is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. As a wedding photographer and videographer the space is absolutely gorgeous and features amazing architecture, stunning natural light, a large amount of seating and an easily navigable parking lot and trails for walking.
Getting married at Anthony Chapel
Anthony Chapel comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Anthony Chapel
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Anthony Chapel — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
