    Absolutely Amazing

    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.

    Magical Wedding

    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.

    Incredible wedding experience

    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.

    June 14 2024 wedding

    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.

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    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!

    The only place to ever get married

    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.

    Dream Wedding Weekend!

    My husband and I got married on 10/01/23 at the Golden Arrow in Lake Placid, NY. We have nothing but great things to say. We have been coming to Lake Placid for years together and we knew we wanted to get married in one of our favorite places. We chose the Golden Arrow because it is in a beautiful setting, lake side, and everything is in one place which all of our guests loved. After the ceremony you can take a just married boat ride and have a champagne toast, which was one of the best moments we had of the night. Our guest count was about 95, which was the perfect size for the reception space. I would recommend looking else where for larger weddings over 130 people. Alex and Erin are so friendly and fun. The groomsmen wanted to take a boat ride during cocktail hour and Alex took them out, which we thought was so cool! From the moment that we booked to the day of our wedding I want to thank Erin, Alex, and Natasha for answering every email promptly with a positive attitude, even the silly ones. They definitely help anxious brides feel at ease and we knew we had nothing to worry about the day of. If you want a medium sized Lake Placid wedding, do not look any further than the Golden Arrow. We had the best weekend of our lives and would do it over again if we could! :)

    Perfect in every way 💙

    Wedding date 10/13/23. I have a million good things to say about the Golden Arrow and staff. From the first meeting onward, Alex, Erin and Natasha were amazing. They were always responsive and helpful for any questions we had throughout the planning process. There’s many beautiful places in Lake Placid for a wedding, but what really sold us was of course the beautiful gondola and LOCATION. Our guests loved being able to walk out of the resort onto the main street for additional dining, shopping, etc. There’s also plenty of parking at the resort and public parking all around it. We had our ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the boathouse, and reception in the four seasons room. With just under 100 guests there was more than enough space without feeling overcrowded. They also had a suitable backup plan in the event of a downpour, but we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. The bridal suite is extremely spacious with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Mirror Lake. They have curtains if you’re worried about guests looking in on you getting ready. There’s also a restroom inside the suite. Erin checked in throughout the day to see if we needed anything and answer any last minute questions we may have had. My husband and I opted not to do a first look, so our photographs did a great job keeping us separated before the ceremony as the resort is quite spacious. There are so many beautiful spots on the property for photos beyond the obvious lake/mountain views. Our photographer and DJ were recommended by the Golden Arrow. We were very happy with their familiarity with the resort and the staff as they have worked together on multiple occasions. This made for smooth sailing throughout the day. (Photos: Jeff Welt, DJ: MX Productions) Alex noticed the song I walked down the aisle to was a Foo Fighters song and when she took us out on the gondola played Foo Fighters music for us. It made it even more memorable and fun. The resort was very accommodating to dietary restrictions. We did a buffet and Natasha made sure everything was labeled accordingly. Erin made sure my husband and I got appetizers between photos and greetings. She also went above and beyond to accommodate my celiac disease restrictions. Natasha also made sure my husband and I got our drinks and dinner as guests were occupying much of our time. We had an amazing reception full on nonstop dancing, and when that ended we moved the party to the nightclub Roomers which is conveniently located next door. You can also access it through the resort as the buildings are attached. 10/10 would recommend!

    Highly recommend! 10/10 experience!

    My husband and I got married at the beautiful Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort on 10/10/2022 and our experience was incredible. From start to finish, communication with Alex, Erin, and Natasha was flawless and you can tell they are truly invested in the outcome of your wedding day. Any time I had a question throughout the planning process, they were quick to answer and never made you feel like a burden despite knowing how busy they are each and every day. On the day of our wedding, they were so much fun to work with and made us feel so at ease with their calm demeanors and sense of humor. As for the venue, what is there to say? It speaks for itself with how gorgeous it is! We were married on the North Lawn overlooking the lake and breathtaking mountains. After the ceremony, our guests were moved to the Boathouse for a lovely cocktail hour while my husband and I were taken on a boat ride around Mirror Lake to have a few moments to ourselves. Our reception was held inside and the food was incredible. We are coming up on our 1-year anniversary (and will be heading back to the Golden Arrow to celebrate - woo hoo!) and to this day, we still have guests telling us how it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. If you are looking to have the most magical wedding, look no further than the Golden Arrow. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Alex, Erin, and all of the staff. I always thought people were exaggerating when they referred to their wedding as the best day of their lives, but now I understand! **photos added to this review were taken by Kortni Maria, LLC

    Fantastic Weekend Wedding Experience

    My husband and I have visited this resort and had our wedding here this year and we could not say enough good things about the entire experience. The staff, views, and location could not be better. For our wedding we could not have asked for a better experience with this all in one venue. Erin, Alex,& Natasha were easy to work with, and so helpful while planning our big day. The venue was so easy to plan with since everything for the reception is in house and anything they don’t have they provide a fantastic list of vendors local to Lake Placid. This was also the only venue we found that offered a consumption bar, which made for a huge cost savings if you don’t have a large crowd of drinkers! We had 100 people and only spent about $3,200 of our $5000 budget.

    While the rooms were more than others in the area, the convenience, location, and amenities make it worth every cent. The only stress we had was making sure we filled the required 15 rooms needed for our wedding, which we made but was our only concern since you have to pay for them if you don’t fill them.

    We were able to have our guests meet at generations before our rehearsal dinner for cocktails and snacks and everyone loved it. The bar staff were great and it made getting to our rehearsal and dinner easy.

    Thank you Golden Arrow / Generations team! I could go on about how happy we are with everything! We had a wonderful weekend with you and your team!

    PERFECT Place to get Married

    We got married this past June at the Golden Arrow and it quite literally was the best day of our lives. It is the most beautiful and perfect place to get married. We are so happy we went with Golden Arrow in Lake Placid.

    Alex & Erin were incredible to work with as our wedding coordinators. From the start of working with them, the planning leading up, to the day of - we are so pleased with the entire process. Alex & Erin are seriously THE BEST! Both of them are really friendly and fun to work, so attentive to a bride’s details, had our wedding day flow seamlessly and really added special touches to make our entire weekend there so special to us.

    Not to mention - accommodations right at the venue for guests were so nice to have, the VIEWS simply speak for themself, the staff is amazing (shout out to Natasha, cousin Vinny and Charles!) and the food was incredible. We had so many guests complimenting us all evening on the venue, the food and how they can't wait to come back to visit Lake Placid again!

    Highly Recommend!!

    The whole experience was amazing!! Alex and Erin made the planning process so easy. We did a virtual tour and were immediately so excited about the location. Upon arrival it was much more beautiful than we expected. First thing we noticed was how nice and helpful the staff was at every turn! Could not recommend this place enough. The whole day went so smoothly and the food was great!! Our families thoroughly enjoyed themselves and will be going back! The perfect wedding venue!!

    The Best of Lake Placid and the Most for Your Money

    If you are looking for a wedding venue that has a space for your ceremony (right on Mirror Lake with the gorgeous Adirondack Mountains in the background), cocktail hour, reception and most importantly somewhere all of your guests can stay, then seriously look no further. Lake Placid has always been a special place for us and I never imagined that we would be able to get married there, but the Golden Arrow made that more than possible! Words cannot begin to describe how grateful we are to Alex, Erin, Maureen, and the rest of the staff who helped make our day so incredibly special. We have the unique challenge of currently living abroad, but they handled all of the planning and preparation (even while coordinating over video chat and dealing with a 6-hour time difference). Our guests were blown away by how conveniently located the resort was from literally everything. All of the shops in the village of Lake Placid, tons of restaurant options, the Olympic attractions, and incredible hiking areas. So many of them came up to us afterward and told us that they planned to come back to Lake Placid just because of amazing the experience they had at our wedding and at the Golden Arrow. When people ask us about our wedding day, we honestly cannot think of a single thing that went wrong or that we would have done differently. It was everything that we hoped it would be and more, and we seriously have the Golden Arrow and their staff to thank!

    10/10 - Best Wedding Venue!

    We chose Golden Arrow for the gorgeous location - but what we didn't expect was the phenomenal team and experience that came with it. From the initial meeting with Alex and Erin, we were sold. We had complete trust in them to make our day just perfect, with such little effort from us. Our families loved the town of Lake Placid - there was something for everyone, which made the time up there so enjoyable for all. The hotel crew made everything so seamless and easy for everyone, even during a busy time. Having Generations right onsite was wonderful and all our guests loved having a restaurant they could pop over to for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Rain was in the forecast for our outdoor ceremony, but Alex and Erin were so proactive in coming up with options, never once was I concerned that the day would be beautiful. Right before our first look, the zipper of my dress came off and Erin sprang into action and (quite literally) sewed me into my dress. Our guests said the food was great (shoutout to Natasha and her staff!!), the night was perfect and we couldn't possibly agree more. We are so happy to say the Golden Arrow was the location of the best day of our lives.
    Thanks and hugs to Alex, Erin and the entire team at GA

    Amazing Venue

    There are only good things to say about the Golden Arrow! I had my wedding October of 2022 and it was everything I could have wanted. The venue is beyond beautiful overlooking the water, Lake Placid is the perfect small town, and the staff at the Golden Arrow goes above and beyond. Alex, Erin, and Natasha were so helpful throughout the entire process and helped with every one of my last minute emergencies. Everyone was raving about how much they loved coming up for a long weekend and everything they were able to do at Lake Placid. I also did brunch at Generations the following day which was a perfect way to end the weekend. I highly recommend the Golden Arrow for your wedding.

    Great venue with great vibes

    Alex, Erin, and Natasha could not have been more supportive in making our wedding day special for us! They really personalized the experience and made sure that the wedding day was all about us and our guests. Not to mention that the space and scenery is beautiful! We could not have asked for a better venue or event team.

    Perfect Experience with a Lovely Venue

    Alex, Erin and Natasha and the rest of the Golden Arrow team were great! They all made the planning process so easy, especially since we both live on the west coast. Alex was able to give us a virtual tour before we booked and then one in real life when we visited for our menu tasting (everything is delicious!). Due to rising travel costs many of our international friends and family could not make it , so it was a smaller event than initially planned, but the team was able to help accommodate the smaller event as much as they could based on our contract. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly during all our wedding related events. We certainly felt like we got our moneys worth and then some!

    The Perfect Wedding Weekend!

    Our experience with the golden arrow for our wedding was nothing short of incredible! Alex, Natasha, and Erin were so easy to work with.

    They we’re incredibly accommodating when it came to postponing our wedding due to COVID guidelines and our wedding day/weekend was truly worth the wait!

    The team was so responsive to emails and questions, especially the months leading up to our wedding which was so important and so appreciated!

    The food was wonderful, and even every one of the wait staff during our reception was incredible! Our brunch the morning after that was set up with them was also wonderful! Truly could not recommend a better place to have a wedding!

    Incredible experience

    Alex,Erin and Natasha were great to work with. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. All of our guests raved about the venue, Alex and Erin paid attention to details, very informative and extremely involved the day of the wedding. Food was incredible and service was great. Highly recommend!

    We loved the Golden Arrow!

    Alex, Natasha, and the crew at Golden Arrow were so wonderful - we can’t recommend them enough! They were so accommodating and easy to work with. Our big day went off without a hitch! Alex helped us with the ceremony coordination and was incredibly helpful and patient. Alex even took us for a boat ride after the ceremony which was amazing! She managed to grab us some drinks and snacks - truly a godsend! Natasha helped us plan the food menu and was more than accommodating with our guest’s specific dietary requests. The food from Generations was a big hit (my favorite was the Mac and cheese)! She even helped us coordinate a night cap at Generations after 10 pm. All the staff were just so sweet. Kim at the front desk took some lovely photos of our ceremony from the balcony. And probably my favorite thing - when we got back to our room, the staff had printed out a photo of us on the boat, framed it, and put it in our room! So sweet! We can’t thank the staff at Golden Arrow enough - they’re the best!

    Winter wedding

    If I could give more the five stars I would!! The golden arrow and it’s team (Alex, Brandon and Natasha) are wonderful, professional and made all my wedding perfect!! Not only did they make the day of wedding perfect but made the wedding planning process stress free and a pleasure! They responded to all my emails or phone calls quickly, answering all my wedding questions!
    The day of wedding they did everything for us, checking on us throughout the day, to make sure we didn’t need a thing. This allowed us to truly enjoy the day.
    We had a perfect winter wedding all because of the team at the golden arrow! I could not recommend them anymore

    Incredible Weekend!

    Where do we begin?! We cannot thank the Golden Arrow enough for an incredible Anniversary Celebration weekend. From our first email and phone interaction, we knew this would be such a great fit. We had the best weekend imaginable. So many of our guests said how impressed they were with the helpfulness of the front desk staff, and especially at the celebration. When we arrived on Friday, we were immediately greeted with smiles, can-do attitudes and genuine excitement for our big weekend. We had so many waves of people arriving, bringing totes, dropping off bags and so much more but the staff never made it seem like an issue, a chore or were bothered. THANK YOU for storing our flowers and cake - what a huge load off of us. The food, drinks and service were outstanding, which are so important. Alex was totally right - there was so much at late night as we were unsure if what we ordered was enough. There was plenty! We could go on and on about this weekend, but it meant so much to us that Golden Arrow worked with us as a couple through the challenging 2020-2021 season. Can’t recommend the Golden Arrow enough!

    Beyond Amazing!

    We can honestly not say enough great things about having our wedding at the Golden Arrow. Our original plan was not to have our wedding day at the GA but only our rehearsal dinner but with Covid restrictions we had to get a backup plan quick. Alex and her team stepped in quickly with a month turn around time to make our wedding day a reality and a dream come true. Through all the ups and downs we were faced in light of Covid and having to postpone our ceremony of due to rain and jump quickly into cocktail hour, everything was perfect! Alex, Natasha and Brandon are a great team. Alex is by far the best wedding coordinator around, she truly wants whats best for the couple and will do anything to make your day something you'll always remember. Natasha was amazing ,working one on one with us, helping plan our dinner. With all the changes we had to make we don't reject any of them, if we had the choice we would relive the day again! I would highly recommend the GA for a rehearsal dinner or wedding! Best views around, best staff, best food and best time!

    I'm Biased... But it was the best wedding ever!

    This venue is a perfect spot. The staff and food are UNREAL and Alex will do everything she can to make sure that every second goes the way that it should. All the way from saying yes to the venue, until the end of the wedding. We got married in the fall and having the fire pit outside was awesome as well as the views! There is also a ton to do around the area for everyone of all ages.

    Perfect Weekend

    We just got back from 4 nights at Golden Arrow and also got married there! We had an amazing time w our immediate family - Alex , our wedding coordinator was super responsive, friendly and thoughtful. She was great. While the rooms are slightly worn, it looks like they are being updated - overall this would not deter us from returning - the food and staff were just excellent pair that with a beautiful backdrop and ideal location in Lake Placid and it doesn’t get much better !

    Great experience during uncertain times.

    Thankful that we decided to go with the Golden Arrow, we ultimately had a smaller ceremony this year. The team was with us every step of the way, as we deliberated what was right for us, in the midst of a pandemic. We were so lucky to have booked with them and not a corporate wedding location, for so many reasons. We know that a lot of venues were not as gracious when it came time for us to modify the plans due to the coronavirus (we have heard multiple horror stories from friends and family members whose venues cited contract agreements, fees and loss of deposits when they were ultimately forced to change dates). But with the Golden Arrow it was a non-issue, we changed dates for our 80 person ceremony and reception to next year, and all it took was an email and follow up call. To act with that sort of integrity as a business is rare these days, especially when they technically had us locked in with a contract - so I was honestly blown away, Brandon joked by emailing us about having time to renovate and that it was not a problem at all for us to shift. About a month or so after coordinating next year's rescheduled ceremony- my fiance(now wife) and I decided we still wanted to get married this year, so long as we could do so safely - so we worked with the team to put a small group dinner together with just some direct family members - and were married on 8/27, and had our celebration at the Golden arrow on 8/28 with dinner, music and an open bar. We still have a big ceremony and reception planned for next year and are nothing but excited to work with them again, the food was delicious and the event staff were awesome. But we are so grateful for the flexibility and coordination of Alex and Natasha to allow us to get married mid pandemic and celebrate safely this year with a small group. No hassle, professional and so laid back while planning. The day of - everyone was super responsive and so nice/accommodating. We felt safe thanks to the precautions taken by the team, the staff ensured everyone was taken care of and settled in - Glad we made this decision! Looking forward to next year.

    Highly Recommend Over and Over!

    Brides, Grooms, families, and wedding parties! You could only be so lucky to have your wedding here. My husband and I starting working with Alex, Natasha, and Brandon on our dream wedding back pre-COVID. Let me tell you, we have heard absolute horror stories of postponements, bad business, and the ugly side of COVID wedding planning. We knew we made the right decision with the GA family, but how they handled our postponement, and elopement celebration was just the icing on the cake. They were with us EVERY SINGLE STEP of the way through all of the uncertainty. All of our guests that stayed at the hotel were SO pleased and SO excited to come back and stay again come 2021. Thank you Golden Arrow for an incredible 2020 and can't wait to be back next year!

    Unforgettable Experience!

    My wife and I cannot stop thinking about how perfect our experience at the Golden Arrow was. We spent the week leading up to our wedding at the Golden Arrow. During that time, Alex and Brandon were very accommodating, going out of their way to make sure we were provided with everything we needed, whether it be room for storage or help with first look locations. Beyond that, there was so much to do around town and the surrounding area that our guests were able to enjoy themselves as they arrived throughout the week. As I read other good reviews about the experience on the day of their wedding, I could not agree more. Our day was absolutely perfect. The forecast was for rain most of the week but Alex and Brandon continued to assure that, no matter what, we would have a beautiful day. The rain held off and our ceremony from atop the boathouse was nothing short of spectacular! From early in the morning until the lights came on, and even during clean up, Alex and Brandon were there to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the Golden Arrow as not only a wedding locale, but also a place to stay all year round!!

    Wouldn't have changed a thing!

    Leading up to our date of arrival for the wedding Alex and Natasha did a great job communicating with us around any questions we had. We arrived to the Golden Arrow on Thursday morning and were getting married on Saturday, December 14th. Alex, Brandon, and Natasha met with us that morning to discuss some final wedding details. From that moment on, every staff member at the front desk was aware that we were the bride and groom. They helped us with all the small things like holding some bags at the front desk, providing tape, sharpies, etc. when it came to our last minute details. Alex was prompt to help us with anything we needed while we were working on set up of our space. Our "cousin Vinny" checked in on us several times and helped with anything we needed. He was so friendly to have at the resort and was willing to help us with any needs or questions we had.
    What I appreciated most about Alex is that she had a clear vision on what our dream day looked like. All week the weather had called for heavy rain and we planned on having our ceremony on the top of the boathouse. Both Alex and Brandon encouraged us to not let the rain get in the way if we really wanted to be outside while saying our vows. So we did just that!
    The night before the wedding a large group of ours went to Generations (connected to Golden Arrow) for welcome drinks and dinner. The staff in Generations were accommodating to our large group of 30 people.
    The day of the wedding, the rain held off. If I were to sum this up in words, I would say it was absolutely perfect and we would not change one thing about it. The bridal room we used was a dream to get ready in. It was so beautiful, and perfect for a group of 13 females (or more). Alex and Brandon checked in on me throughout the morning hours, and when it came time for the ceremony Alex was right there-- Thank you! I was so happy I even said "I do" too soon!
    Once the reception began Natasha was present in the evening hours. She asked us several times if we needed anything at all. To be honest I think my response each time was "I'm perfect". I couldn't think of anything because our day was everything we wanted it to be. The Four Seasons room looked stunning, the food was delicious, and our group and their dance moves were on point (thanks to Lake Placid DJ).
    That night when Matt and I went to our room we found a photo of us during our ceremony, and a note from the team at Golden Arrow. What a thoughtful touch and the best gift we could have received after such a special day.
    Thank you Golden Arrow for everything your whole team did to make us feel so special. Alex, Brandon, Natasha, front desk, and cousin Vinny this experience would not have been what it was without you. We will be back for our 1 year anniversary (and hopefully sooner).
    I would highly recommend Golden Arrow and this team to anyone!

    Great Overall Experience!

    Alex and her team at Generations were really great. They are clearly knowledgeable and experienced in the art of carrying out and managing weddings of any size without missing a beat. My husband I were both more than happy with our choice to getting married here, and so too were all of our guests. Our late fall ceremony on the boathouse was picture perfect!

    Alex, Natasha & Brandon Make You Feel Like Family!!

    Our wedding day was absolutely the most perfect and magical day thanks to Alex, Natasha and Brandon at the Golden Arrow! Alex was so awesome to work with leading up to our wedding day and honestly made the whole planning process flawless and easy! The few nights leading up to our wedding, Alex, Brandon and Natasha kept in contact with us to make sure everything was just right. Alex and Natasha’s attention to detail allowed me to enjoy every second of the day and live in the moment instead of worrying all day. Mostly, we were impressed by the little details and level of care from everyone at the resort; From the people setting up the banquet room to Natasha making sure the food was on point, and even the bartenders knowing our names! These are the simple things that blew me away and made us feel like family. We still get compliments on how good the food was (specifically how big and delicious the steaks were), and how it was one of the best weddings our friends and family have ever attended! Alex and the whole Golden Arrow experience was everything we could’ve wanted and more! We wouldn’t have done anything differently!

    Golden Arrow Wedding

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Golden Arrow. I knew from first meeting the coordinator, Alex, that this was the place for our wedding. Throughout the whole process Alex and Natasha were always very responsive and quickly alleviated any concerns I had. The day of was seem-less. The food was delicious and my guests all had a wonderful time. The lakefront setting was perfect for our ceremony and boathouse lovely for our cocktail hour. The reception space fit our style and there were multiple options. Wouldn’t change a thing and would highly recommend for your wedding or other even

    Thank you so much to Alex, Natasha and the entire Golden Arrow family and staff who made our stay unbelievable! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day with a gorgeous ceremony site and reception venue area. The views were incredible, the food was delicious and everything was EXACTLY the way I had imagined it would be! I wish I could live or special day over and over again, but I promise that we will visit again as we always do and the Golden Arrow has definitely got a special place in our hearts, as do the Adirondacks! Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts and thank you a million times for helping me pull off the most beautiful wedding day ever and helping me marry my best friend!! Much love and appreciation from the new Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Zemlachenko!! 👰🏼🤵🏼💍🎉👌🏻💕

    Be Ready to Be Treated Like Royalty

    From the moment we walked into the Golden Arrow, we were taken care of. We were staying 1 night (the night of our Rehearsal “cocktail party” that we were throwing on their Boathouse) and then using the Black Forest Room as the bridal room for the morning of the wedding. I had selected another venue before I had even met Alex at the Golden Arrow, and honestly if I had met her previously I probably would have had my wedding there. The set up they did for our Rehearsal “cocktail party” on the Boathouse was seriously magical. I had dropped off some simple decorations earlier to Alex and Brandon and they were so accommodating to use them during set up. They even let us in early to basically take over their office with all our stuff for the next day as well. They really know what they are doing and know how to treat their guests in an amazing way while doing so. They made us feel very special and any worries that we might have had completely melted away. I couldn’t believe the set up for the Rehearsal but also the next day on the morning of our wedding. The Black Forest Room space is simply gorgeous, and Brandon was in and out all day making sure we had water, utensils, etc. I would 100% recommend staying at the Golden Arrow while in LP, but also if you have any size event. They treated us like royalty and we weren’t even having our wedding there, so I can imagine how amazing they treat you at your actual wedding!! Alex was extremely responsive during the entire planning process and was able to provide guidance and solutions to any problems that came up. Go with this team for your event – you won’t be disappointed!!! Thank you Alex and Brandon!!!!

    We had an exceptional experience with Golden Arrow! Alex and staff made our dreams come true and helped us to have a perfect wedding.

    Absolutely Top Notch

    We held our wedding on the lawn lakeside at Golden Arrow recently and cannot day enough good things about the venue, staff, food and service, everything was top notch. Our wedding planner Alex, Natasha, restaurant manager of Generations where we held our reception, and the entire staff at GA went above and beyond throughout the whole process to ensure our special day was everything we hoped it would be, and it exceeded our expectations. This is a family run operation and you feel that personal accountability and effort in everything they do. We would highly recommend anyone hosting a wedding, staying for a weekend or even just looking for great food to go to GA, we certainly became loyal lifelong customers!

    Perfect day

    Working with Alexandra is amazing. She is efficient and kept me up to date with the progress. Hotel rooms are clean and beautiful!

    Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort's reply:

    Hey Stephaine,

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It has been a pleasure to work with you.
    Wedding planning can be overwhelming, and our goal is to make the group blocking process mindless, so it is one less thing you have to worry about. So happy to know that we have did just that for you.

    All the Best,
    Alexandra Hanlon

    Treated like royalty!

    My expectations were exceeded at the Golden Arrow for my daughter's wedding. Alex ,Brandon and Natasha were wonderful to work with and are a great team. If I had another daughter I would not hesitate to do it again at the Golden Arrow. Any issues were taken care of immediately. No detail was overlooked. We were treated like royalty.

    Best day ever!!

    From beginning to end, Alex worked with us to make sure our day was everything we wanted. Planning from a distance (about 4 hours) was a breeze. Alex was quick to respond to any questions we had and was professional and easy going. The girls got ready in the Black Forest room and it was the perfect getting ready space. We had our ceremony on top of the boathouse and it was absolutely breathtaking. Our reception at Generations restaurant was beautiful, and the food was delicious. Natasha the restaurant manager, was great and quickly answered many emails (on my end) to help plan the best layout of the reception space for all of our guests. Having a destination wedding, it was a priority to have the ceremony, reception and hotel rooms all in one place. And being on Main Street is a plus because you can walk to anything in town. Many of our guests commented how all of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We couldn’t recommend the Golden Arrow enough and are so thankful for all of the staff who made our day absolutely perfect!! We are forever grateful for all of you!

    Get married here!

    When we first started getting in contact with venues in Lake Placid, I was a bit dismayed. That was until I spoke with Alex at the Golden Arrow. Not only was she friendly, organized, and communicative, but I could count on her to set expectations, follow through, and stay in touch throughout the process. Having a destination wedding, you want to work with someone you can trust, and Alex was by far the most trustworthy and reliable venue event coordinator we met. It was easy to set up times to visit and speak with her. She worked closely with us to make the wedding an event that was truly ours. She was up front with what could and couldn't be done, and she was amazing to have the day-of to coordinate with our planner and make sure everything went well. Natasha, the reception coordinator, was also absolutely amazing to work with. She kept us informed and updated throughout the process, worked well with our timeline, was flexible when we moved things around, and was there the night of to ensure everything went according to plan. The hotel was gorgeous and clean, the ceremony was BEAUTIFUL overlooking the lake, the reception was perfect, and our guests just raved about the food. I am beyond thrilled that we got married at the Arrow, and would highly, highly recommend working with them! If you want folks who are communicative, friendly, and organized, you should absolutely get married here. Plus, the location was just amazing - right on the lake and right on the main street, so our guests could visit and enjoy the town easily. I can't say enough good things about the Arrow, Alex, and Natasha. Get married here!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Our entire experience from beginning to end was phenomenal. If I have to start somewhere, it's gotta be with Alex. In the beginning stages of wedding planning, I was so stressed and didn't know where to start. Once I met Alex and said yes to the venue, all my worries were gone. Myself and my family were all put at ease fast! I will forever be grateful to her and am happy to have gained a friendship from this experience. As this was a destination wedding, five hours from home, Alex was on top of everything and made it all so easy. The entire team at Golden Arrow including Brandon, Alex, and Natasha made our day truly special and the entire event went without a hitch! Everything was literally PERFECT. Our ceremony was outside with the Adirondack Mountains as our backdrop, the cocktail hour was held on top of the boathouse, and we had the reception inside the Generation Restaurant. The bridal suite is also so beautiful and we were lucky to have such a great space to get ready in! I am a huge foodie and I have to rave about the food. Everything was so yummy. Be sure to get the coconut shrimp for an hor d'oeuvre - I still cannot get over how delicious they were! Customer service truly says a lot about a business and this team deserves to be recognized. I will say it again, outstanding customer service and the staff is second to none. We will definitely be back!

    There’s so much I love about the Golden Arrow I don’t know where to start! If I had to draft a list of “What Makes the Golden Arrow Awesome” top of that list is Alex! We worked with her for our room blocks for our wedding guests and planning our pre-wedding party. She was AMAZING! We got engaged at the Golden Arrow and REALLY wanted to incorporate it into our wedding beyond just having room blocks there, and Alex was wonderful at creating options for us to have a wedding welcome party there. The Golden Arrow seemed like the perfect fit for a welcome party and and the fact that Alex was such a pleasure to deal with solidified the choice for us to host an event with them. We had a party for around 50 people and by the end of the night we had guests saying to us “this is amazing! We can’t believe this isn’t even the wedding yet!”, that’s how awesome of a welcome party they put together! Alex was 100% on the ball and made the stress of trying to plan an event from 3 hours away effortless. Yes, you heard me. Effortless. Her responses were so timely and she knew my needs before I even knew what my needs were! What I had expected to be a very overwhelming process was a piece of cake thanks to her! We booked the back room of Generations restaurant and it was the most ideal location! It was plenty of space for everyone to mingle and take in the gorgeous views. I have Celiacs disease and Alex even went as far to make sure I had my own plate of food I could eat even though our menu wasn’t exclusively gluten free! They left no detail untouched! If you’re looking for a wedding venue or a pre-wedding venue do yourself a favor and book the Golden Arrow!

    Amazing! The golden arrow hosted our guests and ceremony for our Labor Day wedding this year and I could not be more pleased! Alex and Brandon were so easy to work with and really had our best interest at heart. They made the event feel so laid back and effortless for me as a bride. The rehearsal lunch and post wedding brunch were both delicious as well. Honestly could not ask for a more magical and serene venue for a Lake Placid wedding!

    We had our ceremony with Golden Arrow on 9.1.18 and could NOT have been happier with the venue and the staff.

    Alex & Brandon are a pleasure to work with – they have amazing attention to detail and ensured everything went smoothly from start to finish. Their spot on mirror lake is GORGEOUS. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Golden Arrow hosted our out of town guests and our farewell brunch for our wedding weekend, and we couldn't have been more pleased with their care and service. Every person that I worked with there went above and beyond their line of duty - even giving us additional vendor recommendations as we were planning from out of town! Alex was so attentive and helpful always and we never felt she was too busy for our questions or needs. The front desk also made sure to be well informed of our wedding details so that they could inform guests as needed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and an absolute relief knowing we were staying in a beautiful space with an overextension of care.

    We worked with Alex Hanlon to coordinate hosting all of our wedding guests at Golden Arrow. Throughout this process, she was very responsive, very easy to talk to, and very effective in meeting all of our requests. She made recommendations not to sell a service and was never pushy or made me feeling bad at all. Not only does she have a really great personality, she does a superb job of communicating, checking in with us, and responding to our concerns, our family's concerns, and our friend's concerns. She coordinated getting all of our hotel rooms organized including many wonderful suites. I really enjoyed staying in the Tabletop suite to get ready with my five bridesmaids and two mothers. It was the perfect getting ready room with lots of natural light. Alex even organized to get an extremely large mirror, champagne glasses, cutlery in our room. Above all, she does this with such a genuine spirit of helping the couple who is extremely busy planning their wedding. Our guests who flew in from Los Angeles to Boston and NYC all loved this destination and especially the Golden Arrow. There is such a wonderful family friendly and hospitable, non commercial feel to this resort that does not go unnoticed. We also got engaged in Lake Placid and on our engagement, they made us feel very special with personalized care and special attention with personalized notes and gifts. They were wonderful also when we stayed there during our wedding with more personalized notes. I will forever remember the Golden Arrow and what a warm, welcoming feeling came over all our guests staying here. From the front desk who were joking and very friendly to the housekeeping staff who always smiled and welcomed us to the watercraft rental staff and anyone who answered my many phone calls to make hotel reservations, thank you so much! Also our guests enjoyed Generations very much. It was a very wonderful to have all our guests stay at the Golden Arrow.

    We got married at the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort on June 17, 2017 and could not have asked for a better wedding. The hotel and venue are absolutely breathtaking! Equally as important was the extraordinary experience created by the staff. Brandon, Alex, Natasha, and the rest of the team were nothing short of spectacular! Every expectation that we had was exceeded.

    This team was exemplary in every sense of the word! Communication was timely, coordination with vendors was seamless, and any questions or concerns were addressed with the utmost thoughtfulness and professionalism. They truly valued our business and were genuinely committed to ensuring our wedding day was perfect.

    From providing celebratory champagne and creating an allergen free menu, to customizing the reception layout to accommodate our specific party needs, the restaurant delivered… and the food was phenomenal! Guests raved about the atmosphere, the culinary creations and the stellar customer service that was provided by the staff. Our get ready rooms were gorgeous, overlooking the serenity of Lake Mirror nestled in the Adirondack Mountains.

    Words will never be able to express how truly grateful we are, as our wedding day was over and beyond! Our wonderful experiences and interactions we had while staying at the Golden Arrow will always be fondly remembered and we will certainly be back to visit and celebrate in the future. The Golden Arrow will always have our highest regard and anyone would be lucky to have their wedding celebration at this resort.

    The Sales Group and staff here are superb! So easy to work with. They helped coordinate our wedding day, and it was just amazing. Everything was perfect-from the rooms to the food, no detail was over looked! If you're looking for a great place to host your wedding, or any event, I highly recommend this resort! Top notch!

    Perfect Wedding Day

    Not only was the view of the lake and mountains absolutely gorges for pictures. The resort was very updated, clean and pretty. The coordinator Alex H. was super helpful and organized from start to finish. She made me feel calm by always having a simple solution to any question or obstacle that came up. We worked great together, our organization skills complimented each other. I'm so grateful of all of her assistance throughout the entire process. Especially the day before and the day of, she had our back!
