Arrowwood is a no brainer when it comes to planning you wedding. They do an amazing job organizing and they are very responsive at all hours of the day. They set up the ballroom for you. Bonus!

Arrowwood was an absolutely perfect location for our wedding. The minute we arrived on site, we were catered to, making everything so smooth and easy. We had the greatest weekend without any stresses or headaches because Shari and all her amazing staff were incredible. Shari was so organized and detailed and truly helped to make our day fabulous! We would recommend this venue to anyone, especially to those couples wanting a destination wedding without having to leave the state of Minnesota.

Arrowwood was an amazing place to have our wedding! Shari, the event planner, was always easy to get a hold of and sure to help out anyway she could. Shari was amazing to work with. Everything from the rehearsal to the gift opening was taken care of with such care. I didn't have to worry about a thing. The ceremony was beautiful, the food was delicious, and everything in between was perfect. I am so thankful we chose Arrowwood. If I had to do it over, I would do it the exact same way. It was very convienent to have the ceremony, reception, and lodging all in one area.

We were so happy with the entire process from the 'taste testing' for our food choices to the final day of the wedding. Katie did a fabulous job accommodating my daughter's wishes to make it a wedding she totally wanted! Many family and friends traveled a long distance so it was so great to keep everything at one place. Thanks to the entire staff for a fun and wonderful experience. We would highly recommend holding an event here.

Arrowwood was the perfect place for our wedding. We were able to have a cocktail hour out on the lawn and the weather was perfect so our guests loved being able to spend time by the lake and mingle before going into the ballroom. Sheri was great to work with and always responded to my emails right away! I would definitely recommend Arrowood to my friends and family.

I had both my ceremony and reception at Arrowwood and I couldn't have asked for a better venue. The wedding coordinator is very helpful and returns calls/emails immediately. They were also very flexible with my last minute plans. The ballroom was decorated beautifully...better than I could have ever imagined! The food was AMAZING! I can't say enough about Arrrowwood! I would highly recommend it to anyone!
