Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Sarah C. Campbell and Matthew L. Gillette
What makes The Elms so unique? Encompassed in a rich history, The Elms Hotel and Spa has been a staple in Excelsior Springs for over 130 years. The first hotel was built in 1888 after the mineral springs, found to have healing properties, brought visitors to the area from around the country and eventually, around the globe. During its lifetime, The Elms suffered from two fires; the first in 1898 and the second in 1910. The current incarnation of the hotel, built of fire safe limestone, opened in 1912. The lobby of our property showcases a hand laid mosaic tile floor and marble staircase which is original to the 1912 rebuild. Many famous guests have graced the halls of The Elms. Al Capone, "Pretty Boy" Floyd and Bugsy Moran allegedly hosted gambling & bathtub gin nights on property, The Elms was used as a training ground for Jack Dempsey and the NY Giants. The Elms Hotel and Spa stands today as a Grande Dame of hospitality, featuring spectacular amenities and gracious service.

If you are looking to receive spa services while attending our wedding, The Elms suggest booking 4 weeks in advance (I was able to get a service on the day we came, but they did say especially on the weekends that is usually not the case). Sarah has a copy of The Elms service menu, otherwise it is listed on their website, along with pricing, information on how to book an appointment, and your choice of male or female therapist. If you are in the bridal party please make sure to inform staff when making your appointment!

Hall Of Waters Visitor Center

Hall Of Waters Visitor Center

201 East Broadway Avenue, Excelsior Springs, MO 64024

Since the 1800’s settlers and prospectors in the area now known as Excelsior Springs have been unearthing natural springs to which they have attributed curative powers. From anxiety to Polio, each of the springs that was discovered seemed to have its own healing use. As the area began gaining notoriety as a health resort the idea to bring a number of these water sources under one roof was approved and the Hall of Waters was born. Designed in a striking art deco fashion, the spa contained the longest water bar in the world where visitors could come and sample the out put of ten of Excelsior Springs’ natural fonts which had been redirected to the building. On tap were such aqua varietals as “calcium water,” “saline water,” and “iron manganese water.” In addition to the high-ceilinged bar area, there was also a championship size swimming pool built as well as a “Polio Pool,” and men and women’s spa areas.
