If you’re coming from Dallas and plan to drive, it’s about a 6 hour trip and if you plan to fly, it’s about a 45 minute flight from DFW to XNA in Northwest Arkansas. Please refer to the Travel tab for more info.
We recommend carpooling and either booking a rental car or calling a car service, such as Pinnacle Car Service! It’s about a 1 hour drive from XNA to Eureka Springs.
We highly recommend staying at The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs! Other than the Crescent, we recommend staying in Downtown Eureka Springs at either Basin Park Hotel or the New Orleans Hotel which are close to both the wedding ceremony and reception locations. Plus, you’ll be in walking distance in the most happening part of town! None of these hotels reserve room blocks so we advise getting your rooms reserved and booked asap!
We suggest bringing water shoes, towels, sunglasses, a sun hat, sunscreen, a ziploc / water proof plastic bag for your phones or important items, and a backpack to store all your things in.
Friday morning / early afternoon: Canoe / Float Trip down the White River. Friday evening: Welcome Party at the Claxton's farm from 7:30 - 9:30 pm. Sunday morning: Brunch at the Crecent Hotel in the Conservatory Room from 8 - 10am.
Yes! At 4:00 pm, shuttles will be transporting guests from The Crescent Hotel to Thorncrown Chapel.
