Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa

and Spa were beyond spectacular, I will forget to name drop each person but I will try my hardest! Laurie, Darrel, Deming, Rob, Alexis, 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 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!
