After the ceremony, our guests will be free to walk about the Garvan Gardens free of charge! The walk through the gardens is absolutely beautiful, so we highly recommend bringing a second pair of shoes along with you to change (out of cowboy boots or high heels, for instance) so that you'll be able to walk comfortably through the dirt and cobblestone trails.
Please dress in formal/cocktail attire. Please DO NOT wear any bright colors or white! Western wear is welcome.
Our ceremony will begin at 3pm at the Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens. After the ceremony is complete and the family and wedding party leaves to take photos, our guests will have access to explore the gardens free of charge. Our reception will begin at the Hot Springs Country Club at 5pm.

Our guests are welcome to stay as long as they like, but we will have no formal wedding-related festivities the day after the wedding. The couple will make a group dining reservation for brunch or lunch somewhere in town for anyone that would like to get together once more before heading back home, but attendance is optional. The couple will provide a list of recommended activities for guests wanting to explore Hot Springs the day after the wedding.
Yes - but please let us know how old and how many children are attending so we can account for food at the reception.
