“We held our festival-themed wedding at Lucky Arrow Retreat in November 2023, and it was nothing short of magical. From Thursday to Sunday, we hosted a multi-day celebration with our ceremony on Saturday and a weekend packed with fun, connection, and unforgettable memories.
We booked out every cabin on the property, and the incredible Rachel and Serena were instrumental in ensuring our guests had the appropriate accommodations. The newly added welcome center made check-in seamless, setting the tone for a stress-free weekend. The staff were incredibly welcoming, flexible, and accommodating to our vision, allowing us to bring in our chosen vendors and making sure every detail was covered.
Hosting guests for three days might sound daunting, but the Lucky Arrow staff made it feel effortless. We were granted immense flexibility in how we utilized the property, even hosting a silent disco on the restaurant lawn on Friday night complete with a full lighting kit and three DJs! From pools, firepits, and hot tubs to the event center, rooftop, and beer garden, every amenity added to the charm and fun of the weekend. The nearby wineries, breweries, pickleball, and mini-golf made it an ideal location for all ages, with plenty to explore.
Weather in November can be unpredictable, but Rachel and Serena were quick to recommend tenting vendors and ensure we had transport options with golf carts. Their support made the experience stress-free despite the touch-and-go conditions.
One of the most unique aspects of Lucky Arrow is the ability to host nearly all your guests on-site. Having over 90% of our attendees within the glamping compound was a game-changer, fostering an intimate and connected atmosphere. The kids had an absolute blast exploring the property, while adults enjoyed the wine tastings and nearby Abby Jane Bakeshop for incredible breakfast and cakes. (Seriously, their cakes are a must for any celebration!)
The staff went above and beyond, even providing additional security to ensure our late-night celebrations remained safe and enjoyable. Load-in and load-out were simple and efficient, and despite needing to vacate the property by Sunday morning, we never felt rushed.
Planning an ambitious DIY festival wedding was no small feat, but Lucky Arrow provided the perfect canvas. Their team was responsive and accommodating, and we found that proactive communication was key to ensuring everything went smoothly. If you’re considering hosting a wedding or event here, be prepared to collaborate closely with their team—they will go the extra mile to make your vision come to life.
While our wedding was before the restaurant and Airstream housing were operational, we can only imagine how much more incredible the experience must be now. Lucky Arrow Retreat is truly a one-of-a-kind venue that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to host a wedding or special event. It was everything we dreamed of and more.
Thank you, Lucky Arrow, for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!”
