If it's just the two of you or a few guests, you can get married in any one of Eureka Spring's lovely parks without a site fee.
East Mountain Overlook is the most popular spot to hold a small outdoor wedding at one of Eureka Springs free venues. It's a lovely dark-green gazebo perched on the hillside, with the town of Eureka laid out below. The historic Crescent Hotel is on the far horizon directly across from the overlook, & makes a fabulous backdrop for pix.
After the ceremony, it's really fun to go up to the 4th floor balcony at the Crescent & look across at the gazebo where you were just married!

Grotto Spring on Spring Street is one of my favorite places to hold an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony. Steps lead down to a small cavern that's cool even in the hottest part of the summer!
"The words 'Esto Perpetua' emblazoned upon a stone above the entrance to Grotto Spring declare the prevailing belief that these healing waters would flow forth forever." Which makes it a great starting point for your marriage!

Little Lake Eureka is a small spring-fed lake just moments from downtown, nestled in a quiet residential area. Perfect for ceremonies near water!
Harding Spring is on Spring Street at the edge of Eureka's historic downtown shopping district, a short walk from the Post Office. It's named for Emmett Harding, a photographer who began the tradition of taking pictures of people in front of the spring for souvenirs.
It's a quiet little park with meandering paths & 1 stone picnic table, well suited for an intimate outdoor ceremony & perhaps a picnic afterward. The stone bluff makes a perfect setting for wedding pictures!

Basin Spring Park is the heart of downtown Eureka Springs. The site of the healing spring of Indian legend, it's a short stroll from the Eureka Springs Courthouse.
If you'd love a few witnesses to your special day, there are almost always people there enjoying the park & happy to share in your wedding moment.

Sweet Spring is just across from the Eureka Springs Post Office in the historic downtown area. Stone steps lead down to the basin of the spring itself; a wonderful private spot for your wedding ceremony, right in the center of things!
Trailing vines & floral accents against the stone walls of the spring make for delightful wedding photo memories.

Magnetic Spring is on Passion Play Road just a short drive from the Eureka Springs Courthouse. It's a great spot to hold a ceremony with just a few attendants & guests. The stone steps leading up to the cistern of the spring lend themselves well to the bridal processional.
Lovely landscaping, & there's a large pavilion with picnic tables for your reception after the wedding. Plenty of parking!
