Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort

We got married here in September 2022. I don't even have to words to explain how amazing this place and the staff is! Alex and Erin went above and beyond to make our big day and perfect as can be. They were SO easy to communicate with and plan with leading up to the day. The day of went so smoothly thanks to them, even though we had some unexpected rain right before the ceremony, they KILLED it at rounding everyone up so we could get the ceremony done earlier to beat the rain. The resort itself is perfect for a wedding. The views are impeccable, there are tons of rooms for guests to stay, and so many things to do. We had family fly in from all over and we everyone was please with how exceptional everything was. Our reception was in the Four Seasons Room. So easily accessible from the ceremony and cocktail hour, the food was 10/10 and the bar did an amazing job. It was hands down the best day of our lives, I wish I could relive it over and over. Thank you again, Alex, Erin and everyone at Golden Arrow. Much love!

Where to even start! This was them most perfect place for our wedding. The staff was amazing. We connected instantly when we met them over a zoom call. It was stress free as we were 5 hours away trying to plan a wedding. Maureen and Alex were so helpful and always so quick to get back to us with any questions we had. Once we got to the resort, every staff member there made us feel so special. Whether it was the staff at the front desk saying hello and asking us if we needed anything, to the staff in the restaurant saying hi every time we saw them, or even the housekeeping complimenting the wedding, it was just absolutely perfect. We had rave reviews from our guests as well about the Golden Arrow. I wish we could do this all over just to work with them again. We have been missing it since the day we left. We couldn't be more happy with everything there.

Alex the general manager went above and beyond for me and helped make my wedding vision a reality. She’s absolutely amazing to work with. This is a family owned hotel so everyone will know your name. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is delicious and the strip steak is huge. The view is absolutely breathtaking. I’m so happy I decided to have my wedding here. It was intimate and romantically beautiful.
Our wedding was magical.
The only thing I would recommend is to have a stronger air conditioning system for the ballroom.

Tom and I got married in Oct 2023 and had a magical Fall woodland wedding experience. The team at the Golden Arrow (Alex, Eric, and Natasha) truly made our wedding weekend dreams come true and offered so much support through the process. We had a specific vision and lots of requests & the end result was all that we could ever wished for and it was because of this team that this came to be! Book this venue if you want a lakeside wedding experience - you will cherish this decision forever.

Not only is the resort beautiful but the people are amazing. We had stayed here before so we knew what the resort and town had to offer. Our coordinators, Alex and Maureen, made planning a destination wedding a breeze. We were only on site twice before arriving for our wedding. Once to initially meet them/tour the venue and then later for our tasting. All other communication was done through email or phone. They were both incredibly accessible, responsive, and supportive. The staff in general were so kind to everyone and went out of their way to ensure we all had what we needed. When we arrived, everything came together easily and without a lot of added stress.

The venue hosted two weddings that weekend (ours on Friday, another couples on Saturday). I never felt neglected or in anyone’s way. Our coordinators were communicative during our entire stay, even after our wedding day. I felt I had a very positive “bride experience” even though I wasn’t the only bride there.

We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests regarding the food, bar, and general service. We did a buffet, food was hot and delicious. Everyone was raving about the chicken parm. I never once saw (or heard about) people waiting at the bar either. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly.

We were lucky we had great weather on our wedding day which allowed us to use all of the beautiful outdoor areas/views. Our first look was on top of the boat house, family
portraits were lakeside, our ceremony was on the lawn, and we were able to go out onto the lake in their gondola. Our guests enjoyed an indoor-outdoor setting for the cocktail hour and reception.

The property is incredibly dog friendly. Both of my pupswere on site for all festivities and were allowed in both the bridal suite and the reception space. It was an added bonus that they could be present the entire day.

Most of our guests stayed on site and had a really relaxing weekend enjoying the amenities and what the town has to offer. All of our guests traveled for our wedding so it was important to us that they were able to treat it like a mini vacation. Multiple people later told us they can’t wait to return to Lake Placid and Golden Arrow. Special shout out to Cousin Vinny who worked most of our stay and always made time to check in with us and chat. He is incredibly attentive and personable.

Overall I would highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for a low stress, one stop-shop that can offer a beautiful outdoor Adirondack setting.

Alex, Erin & Maureen were awesome!! We want to go back to Golden Arrow just to hang out with them lol, they are such great people! We could not have asked for a better wedding day and location! They were very communicative and responsive leading up to the wedding, and the wedding itself ran very smooth. We're so grateful to all the staff at Golden Arrow for making our weekend so special! All our friends and family loved it!!

Food was amazing! Service was great! Great for a small intimate wedding! Take me back!

As a photographer, this was a beautiful venue to work at! Grounds are big for different backdrops and the scenery is amazing, especially a sunset. very helpful staff as well.

Thanks to the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort we were able to have our dream wedding! Alex and Erin from the start were extremely easy to communicate with and answered all the questions we had. They recommended vendors which were very reliable. Natasha was extremely helpful with our menu and accommodating guests dietary requirements. I did not hire a wedding planner/coordinator so they were helpful the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly and moved guests from the ceremony to the reception. The lakeside views are beautiful and the gondola ride was one of my favorite parts of the day! Guests loved the location and being able to stay on site for the wedding. I have nothing but good things to say. We are so happy we chose the Golden Arrow and highly recommend!

From day 1, Golden arrow was amazing with planning our wedding. The two wedding coordinators, Alex and Erin, are beyond exceptional and makes the days leading up to the wedding and wedding day as easy as possible. The weekend of our wedding, both Alex and Erin, went above and beyond to make sure we were ready for our big day. Literally not one thing went wrong the day of the wedding thanks to them. Almost all our guests have told us it was one of the most beautiful and amazing weddings they have ever been too. I wish we could redo our wedding day over and over at the Golden Arrow. It was the best decision my husband and I had made. Alex and Erin are truly the best.
