You've dreamt of your wedding day since you were a little girl, and at the Old Mill Wedding Chapel we're here to make those dreams come true. Every wedding venue has a uniqueness to it, and we're proud of our facility. It is truly breathtaking, but we're even more proud that we can make your wedding experience virtually stress-free. With the services we offer, plus our network of proven service providers, we can make planning and having your perfect wedding day easier than ever.
The Old Mill Wedding Chapel is located in beautiful Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, the oldest national park in the United States. Natural beauty surrounds this 4,000 sq. ft. facility nestled at the foot of a mountain on six beautiful acres that adjoin the National Forest. A crystal clear bubbling stream rambles through the property and a natural spring actually comes up inside the foyer area of the building. This spring provides the water that turns the full-size water wheel before feeding into the stream. We're located on Park Ave. (Hwy 7 north) just two miles north of the historical downtown district and the world famous bath houses.
We have an attitude here at the Old Mill Wedding Chapel ….."It’s the Bride's Day!" …Sorry guys! We begin in the dressing room, a breathtaking room that makes you feel as though you are floating in the clouds. Plenty of mirrors, a tray of snacks and cold drinks and a staff are nearby to ensure everything’s perfect for your special day. When the time comes you will exit the dressing room, stop and await your cue, and as your music begins, the double doors will open, and you will make your entrance into the beautifully decorated chapel area. All heads will turn to see the beautiful bride. Your heart pounds as you make your way down the aisle between the rows of church pews filled with loved ones, family and friends. Your beloved is waiting on the elevated altar and standing in the lighted floral covered archway, and as the candelabras that adorn the altar area flicker, you sense the unmistakable intimacy, and you smile because you know this was the perfect place for your perfect wedding day.
The ceremony’s done, the crying’s done, it’s time to party!
Feel the elegance as you enter the Reception Hall, with white, floor-length tablecloths and black chair covers accented with a white bow, and a beautifully decorated centerpiece accented with your special colors on each table. The lights are low, dozens of candles are flickering, with accent lighting throughout and a beautifully decorated food serving table runs the entire length of one wall. Then your eyes open wide as you turn and see, sitting under the spotlight at center stage is your beautful wedding cake. You smile with confidence knowing you have chosen the perfect setting to celebrate your perfect day.
Our beautiful wooden dance floor sits in the center of the room, all eyes will be on the happy couple as you take your first dance, and everyone will enjoy the festivities, stage area, great sound system, wireless mic, and keep adding… a bubbling champagne fountain, a 36” LCD screen TV playing a photo CD of the bride and groom’s childhood pictures….how about adding white doves, beautiful birds sitting in a white cage, or specially trained doves released as you exit the reception hall…oh what memories…how about exiting to a waiting horse-drawn carrige or a beautiful stretch limousine? We can do it for you. We're here to make memories to last a lifetrime.
