    My now husband and I could not be happier with our experience at The Wedding Chapel. The price,…read moreflexibility of scheduling, and genuine nature of the director (Spencer) made it a fabulous choice. If you have around 50-70 guests and want to get married in the Claremore area, this is the place for you. Additionally, the windows allow for great natural light during the day, which is a plus for the photography!! Spencer is super knowledgeable and will help you in any way he can during the rehearsal and the ceremony itself. During our wedding I had a snafu with the music for the seating and reception that I could not fix. Spencer whipped up some music and had it playing without me even having to ask so that I could focus on my pre-wedding panic in the small, but beautiful and adequate for my needs bridal prep room. I would highly recommend this venue.

    Horrible Experience at this event center. I have officiated over 20 weddings, (first time at this…read morelocation) and I would NOT recommend anyone wasting their time here. Unless of course you would like the owner to follow room to room, hovering over everyone, every time you turned around she was there, and honestly she was a bit odd. She literally sat in every room we were in and watched us like we were children. She sat in one of the front pews and even helped herself to the reception food, she yelled at the bride and made everyone feel very uncomfortable. We left early and no one was happy about this experience. I will say on a good note that the Chapel is super adorable, not super big but would be great for a small intimate wedding as long as the owner stays out of the way and doesn't make everyone uncomfortable. Best of luck in your wedding planning!

    Worth a stop if you are getting married here, attending a wedding here, or are already in the area…read more I would not drive out of my way like some of the angry people who one-starred this spot, but to each their own. What it is - A beautiful chapel in the mountains of Arkansas. One man's dream that he almost didn't complete. Now it is a beautiful example of his dream fulfilled and a great spot for your wedding ceremony. I didn't get married here, but my introduction to this chapel was a wedding 25 years ago, where I was the best man. I came back over the holiday with my kids. We arrived, and there was a sign notifying us that a ceremony was going on, so we came back on a different day. It was just as beautiful as I remembered. It is truly a site to behold. What it isn't - Remember when I said a ceremony was going on when we first arrived? This is a place where people get married. If you were getting married and some yahoo from Louisiana showed up with his two kids dressed casually, you wouldn't particularly like it. So don't drive from far away and definitely don't try to interrupt someone's wedding.

It's a major example of "less is more" and "good things come in small packages." Thorncrown Chapel is a latticed timber structure - a nondenominational chapel that is Christian in its inspiration - sitting in the hilly, wooded terrain just outside of bohemian Eureka Springs, Arkansas. You will have to look for its small roadway from the highway to visit it. To say that it might resemble a popsicle stick model would be reductionist, but there is this affect in the way it looks. The difference is that the chapel is all about carefully selected, shaped, and connected wood members that make it a significant place in the world of American architecture. It was designed by the states's native son E. Fay Jones. He was the recipient of numerous awards, as is Thorncrown Chapel. The chapel is enclosed in glass. This brings in and keeps out the surroundings and elements, respectively. Sitting in here is a very serene experience. One could worship if they want - its scheme is a Christian one - or could just savor the silence. However, there is soothing instrumental music playing in the background that could intersect with today's new age variety. I thought that was humorous. They do not charge an entrance fee. They didn't when I visited. However, they do ask for donations and, if you visited, you should make a donation. There was a person on hand to answer questions. There might be events here, causing the chapel to open and close for short periods. One typical event might be a wedding. Closer to the entrance and away from the chapel is an office that tends to such affairs. Whether to visit Thorncrown Chapel garners the answer, "It depends." It is at the northwestern border of the state, just outside of Eureka Springs and below the Missouri border. However, it is far from Little Rock and Hot Springs, though not absurdly far from Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas. You will inevitably combine your visit with a visit to Eureka Springs. Eureka Springs is an artsy community shoehorned into a hilly mountain town that has restaurants, coffeehouses, gift shops, and the like ... and most likely garden variety stoners who work at these places. Think Nevada City, CA, Sedona, AZ, Galena, IL, Saratoga Springs, NY, and similar granolafied towns thrown into the middle of rural (and more conservative) America. I got derailed discussing Eureka Springs and its hippie vibe. If, to you, the distance is reasonable and doable, do visit Thorncrown Chapel. It's an interesting and unique mix of contextual, transparent, simple, and yet complex.

The place was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfy, the heating worked and wasn't noisy. My wife really enjoyed the hot tub along with the peace and quiet that comes from being in a treehouse away from the road and behind some of their cottages. I would certainly recommend the treehouses if I heard someone was looking for somewhere unique to stay in Eureka Springs.

    After a long journey it's a really crappy experience to get to your room and it's completely…read morefilthy. We contacted the phone number on the main building and instead of being apologetic she was snippy with us as if we were the problem. It is now 3:08, we are sitting outside our room in the sun (on a motorcycle with lots of luggage), and are told it won't be for another 45 minutes. No apology, just refunded a cleaning fee of $20 measly bucks...Gee, thanks. I would rather you have been nice about the mistake or better yet have had the room cleaned to begin with. I don't recommend this place whatsoever and will never stay here again. Update: Cleaning kids came around 3:20 (so we got our room around 3:45). They were apologetic and very nice. I really wanted to give another star for this because they at least tried (they made a swan out towels lol) harder than the other staff. BUT when we returned to our room after dinner we came back to a kitchen counter of ants. I really expected more out of this place based on the reviews. Disappointed, to say the least.
