Eureka Springs Wedding Reception Venues
Timeless Celebrations
Historic elegance and modern romance are the backdrop for every celebration at The 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa. Our unique indoor and outdoor venues include a stunning castle ballroom, sweeping mountain views, and serene garden settings. From the welcome reception to the farewell brunch, your Eureka Springs wedding weekend will be nothing short of unforgettable.
Crystal Ballroom
In the heart of The Crescent’s iconic castle, this was the site of the grand opening celebration of the Crescent in 1886. Original floor-to-ceiling windows, stunning hardwood floors, and shimmering crystal chandeliers are just a few of this space’s timeless details. With all the elegance befitting a Historic Hotel of America, the Crystal Ballroom is a breathtaking setting for larger ceremonies and receptions.
Crescent Conservatory
Reimagined and restored, the Conservatory was once a popular gathering spot for the co-eds of the Crescent College & Conservatory for Young Women. Glass walls flood the space with natural light, framing 270-degree panoramic mountain views, Hardwood floors and a spacious layout invite dancing, while the adjacent Boardwalk-Gazebo makes for seamless indoor/outdoor celebrations. With its crisp, white decor, the Conservatory is a stunning, all-season backdrop for weddings and receptions.
Glenwood Hollow
Set beneath a 250-foot canopy of native hardwood trees, this intimate, fairytale setting is the Crescent’s newest ceremony venue. Hand-hewn benches and a custom-crafted wooden arch lend rustic elegance to the day, while a gently cascading water feature and the backdrop of the changing seasons are as stunning and picturesque as the Ozarks themselves.
Fountain Garden
The Crescent’s signature outdoor ceremony space is set within gardens against the backdrop of the castle. Located at the southernmost point of the Hotel’s 15 acres and with a historic fountain as the centerpiece, the Fountain Garden is adjacent to the Bridal Studio of the New Moon Salon, and a short stroll to receptions in the Crystal Ballroom or Conservatory.
East Lawn
The setting for “welcome“ tea parties when the Crescent first opened its doors in the late 19th century, the East Lawn is a lovely setting for ceremonies and receptions. With a stylish tented canopy, the historic hotel as a backdrop on the west, and the mountains and Saint Elizabeth’s Chapel on the east, East Lawn weddings are imbued with the natural romance and beauty of the Ozarks.
