Here we are at four days post-wedding and we are still completely enamored with our special day. Where do we even begin? OK, here it goes: The ENTIRE team at Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa were beyond spectacular, I will forget to name drop each person but I will try my hardest! Laurie, Darrel, Deming, Rob, Alexis, Emily, Brittany, Donnell, Joshua, Jonathan, Josh, Derek, Andy, Christina, Michelle, and more, to each and every one of you: THANK YOU, without you, our wedding would not have been as spectacular as it was.
Each of the people mentioned above had a special piece in truly making the experience of planning and week-of memorable and stress-free. From answering questions about the venue, offering up options to accommodate our guest list size, brainstorming and customizing options for us, organizing and building the room blocks, making our food tasting a fun and family-like experience, treating us like royalty from the moment we stepped through the door, and for being warm and welcoming to our guests, the list goes on and on…
Aside from the team that keeps Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa beautiful and homey, the venue location and accommodations are STUNNING. Our wedding was about 105 guests and every single person mentioned the beauty of the view we had from our rooms, suites, Lakeside Deck and lawn, restaurant and the high quality of offerings the resort has.
Now, to the food. Wow. Jonathan, Heath, and Josh, 105 hungry people at our wedding and not a complaint in sight. The food from arrival to departure was 5-star. Typically, you come to a wedding looking for food that is just going to soak up the open bar but our wedding, thanks to you, was a true fine dining experience. From the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres, to the salad, and main courses, the display and taste were exactly how it should be done every where you go! Thank you a million times over for your hard, high-quality culinary expertise!
Laurie and Darrel, I hold you both near and dear to our hearts for being there for us as we needed during the planning process and day-of. Darrel, you absolutely killed it managing our wonderful, very involved families, and kept us on schedule and kept me calm. You were there to accommodate my every request and need within minutes. Your skills at managing the day-of events was impressive but even more impressive to me was that beaming smile you gave Charlie and I when we walked back down the aisle, we felt like you were so proud and happy for us and it meant the world!
Alexis, my goodness, you are a GEM. I will admittedly share (and my husband would agree), that I was kind-of a bridezilla and overall type-A. You not only calmed those nerves with every back and forth we had about room options, dates of arrival, changes to said arrival, and so much more. You are so incredible at your job and kind-hearted. Thank you for being you and making sure we had the best experience.
Deming, we’ve unofficially coined you our resort Godfather. You always made sure we had the best drinks, table, and service at Bin189. We cannot wait to bring ourselves, future children, and families back to see you and toast to you.
To wrap this up, I want to make sure I say once more, this venue was absolutely perfect. We wanted a rustic setting with lake views, beautiful trees, and mountains in the distance and it was utter perfection. My husband and I will visit the resort for years to come and feel a sense of home when we do. Thank you to all that made our dream a reality!

The resort and staff helped me pull off a fairy-tale wedding!

The team at Lake Arrowhead is incredible. Darrel, Travis and Laurie went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had the most perfect wedding day and weekend. The chef and food were also amazing. I am so grateful to have had our wedding at Lake Arrowhead Resort. This place, and its people, will always be special to my husband and I, and our friends and family. We can't wait to come back and celebrate every year at our favorite spot. Thank you for the best day/weekend of our lives!

11.11.22 wedding and reception. The future bride and groom walked this property over a year ago and fell in love! The ceremony space on the deck overlooking the lake is gorgeous! The ambience in the lobby, fireplace foyer, and private reception room is warm and welcoming. The staff, from day one, went above and beyond to make sure their nuptials were special. The staff, Laurie, Lori, Chelsey, Tracy and Heather, worked hard on all the details leading up to the big day.
When we arrived, to my delight, we were able to get an early check in to our rooms and set up for the reception early!
We welcomed guests the day before the ceremony in the fireplace foyer and it had a cool vibe, good food, and great staff! Martin took good care of us. 
The big day was a whirlwind and Lori and Chelsey went above and beyond to help with as much as they could to make everything perfect. It was a little colder than expected and the catering staff was able to serve hot buttered rum out at the ceremony! The guests loved the extra hospitality.
The reception was held in the Lakeview Terrace room and it was perfect for 108 guests. Catering service did an awesome job and everything looked and tasted wonderful. Martin and his staff even made sure there was a slice of wedding cake held for the mother of the bride to enjoy with her coffee the next morning.
I would also like to add that the few minor issues we experienced were quickly addressed and resolved by the staff. I understand that a three day event with 100+ guests is going to require modifications. I really appreciated that the staff made prompt corrections and was very accommodating.
We would highly recommend this venue for your next special event!

We had the best experience at Lake Arrowhead Resort for our wedding.From the first inquiry they were very professional and offered decent pricing. I would highly recommend working with Marina , she was incredible the entire time, especially on the weekend of the wedding she made everything come together and perfect ! All employees treated us and my guests like VIPs . The day of the wedding they had blankets and heaters out for the ceremony, was surprised and again soo happy. Wouldn't have changed a thing.
The resort is beautiful and our suite was great . We searched years for the perfect venue , I couldn't be happier that we chose LAR and were able to work with Marina.

It is so hard to put into words how wonderful and perfect our experience was planning and having our wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. The moment we met Marina, we felt so happy and excited to share this experience with her. She was so attentive to our needs and made planning the wedding so much fun. The day of the event went perfectly and because of the resort and our other vendors we were truly able to enjoy the day without any stress or worry.

We got the Winter package, which was such a great value and we definitely got more than what we paid for.

The staff was so gracious and attentive, from the front desk to the wait staff to the maid service, everyone had such great customer service.

We highly recommend this venue as a perfect spot to have a wedding. It has everything you could think of, from a rustic mountain wedding, winter wonderland, lakeside beauty, and even a small beach if you want a beach wedding. What we loved was it felt like a destination wedding, without the long travel.

We are already making plans to revisit the resort on our 1st Anniversary.

Thank you Marina and all the staff at Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa!!!!

Sincerely,

The new Mr. and Mrs. Packett

We just had our wedding there and it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Our wedding coordinator was Marina Aguilar and she was responsive, professional, kind, funny, and all-around awesome.

The venue itself is really gorgeous. We got married outside on the dock, then had the cocktail hour at the pool, and the reception inside in one of the ballrooms. Everything went so smoothly -- it was almost surreal. The food was delicous -- we got many comments on how tasty it was. We went with the Sea Bass and the Filet, and people commented on both.

The guests really enjoyed the location. How could you not love being right on the lake, with a nice pool, and beautiful rooms? the bar and restaurant inside the resort are also top-notch. It was like a mini vacation for our guests, with most of them being from LA.

The catering department is very close knit with the vendors they work with as DJs, florists, cake, etc., so that took a lot of the burden off of us. They really take care of all the details, which allowed us to relax and have fun.

We are so so so happy we picked this venue and would highly recommend it.

Unbelievable location!! The resort was fantastic and absolutely beautiful. Our wedding coordinator provided to us by the resort was Becky, she was amazing. She afforded us the opportunity to visit the resort on several occasions prior to the event and was extremely patient. She worked amazingly well with all of our vendors, was extremely flexible and was always there when you needed her. Our wedding went off without any problems and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Our ceremony was on the outdoor deck and our reception was in the grand ballroom. Th resort itself is beautiful and the employees from the doorman to the wedding coordinator were very professional, polite and always willing to assist you. Excellent choice.

This was an idyllic experience for us with the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. From the first meeting, Laurie was incredible to work with, flexible, helpful, responsive, and certainly went above and beyond. Our wedding was beautiful and peaceful in no small part because of how the venue is managed and how much the team cares to perfect each and every couple's unique wants/needs. We can't wait to go back for anniversaries!

The staff was THE BEST!!!! They really made everything so much better and easier, which made us have a lot more fun!!
