Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort

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 best 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.

Golden Arrow was the DREAM wedding venue for us!! The location alone is stunning right in the heart of lake placid on Mirror Lake but then on top of that they have an outstanding team working there. Alex and Erin were huge helps from the very beginning and Natasha came in closer to the wedding date for specifics. Even our first time touring Alex made us feel welcome and excited about having our wedding there that when we were done it wasn’t even a question of IF, it was a question of WHEN! They were extremely communicative and very accommodating with food requests. They answered all of our questions and it felt like they always had our best interest at heart and we’re genuinely excited for us. When I barely ate any dinner or dessert they (along with the pit side planner) boxed it up and left it in our room which is really thoughtful. There’s a stunning bridal room for getting ready overlooking the water. The meals were fantastic, the reception space was beautiful, and the hotel itself just has so much to offer. We also had a morning after wedding brunch and that food was just as amazing! It’s more than just a wedding venue, it’s a place we hope to return to for years to come.

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!

If you are looking for a venue in the Adirondacks/Lake Placid area, we cannot recommend Golden Arrow enough! The venue speaks for itself - being right on Mirror Lake with the mountains in the background, combined with a lovely resort hotel is more than enough reason to book your wedding there! The staff however is what really made our day so special. Alex, Erin, and Natasha were so incredibly helpful from the very start. We had TONS of questions and they were always able to answer everything and be flexible with requests. They were super organized which made both planning and day of super easy and chill. We felt extremely confident with them and trusted them with everything - it truly felt like they were invested in you and your day rather than just being all business. We loved having the hotel option right there on-site for our guests, and everyone loved having the beach and activities right at the hotel in addition to being able to walk around and explore the town super easily. The food and drink choices were fantastic (we still crave some of the hors d'oeuvres from our reception), and literally everything went to plan. All in all, we had the best day ever and cannot thank Golden Arrow, Alex, Erin, and Natasha enough!

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!

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.

Golden Arrow is a beautiful venue with amazing staff! Alex, Erin, and Natasha were all so helpful leading up to the wedding and with last minute needs. We got married outside and it was stunning. All of my guests were raving about the venue and all the amenities available. We were able to use the pool, canoes, and water-bikes. I loved everything about my wedding experience with the Golden Arrow.

Alex Natasha and the rest of the Golden Arrow crew made our day even better than we could have hoped for! We got married out on the boat house in February! It was a chilly day but the staff made it happen! They even set up the hot coco bar for us outside which our guests raved about! We felt they made our ceremony private even though the hotel was full! I don’t even know how to begin to describe how delicious our food was! My husband and I and all guests who attended had a wonderful time and bring up the hotel and accommodations frequently! Thank you all who made this possible for us we wouldn’t have had it any other place!

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!

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!

Alex, Natasha and Erin are fantastic to work with and made our wedding day so easy! We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Golden Arrow with the gorgeous views. Our guests had such a great time staying at the hotel and visiting Lake Placid. We would recommend this venue to anybody wanting a beautiful lakeside wedding in one of the most gorgeous places in NY!

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 some our guest’s specific dietary restrictions. 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!

We recently had our wedding there April 10, 2022. From the minute we checked in until we left the staff was wonderful. Doing a destination wedding can seem difficult but the staff at the hotel made it easy. They went over the itinerary, made sure our guests were happy, and made sure we had everything we needed. We asked for a steamer for the wedding dress and bridesmaid dress which Vinny provided to us. Alex was great to work with throughout the entire process. Answering questions about rooms, guests, and vendors. The hotel even called the restaurant that we had the rehearsal dinner to ensure that the restaurant we were eating at treated us right. They provided us with gifts when we arrived. Then after the ceremony we went up to the room to find two photos left on the bed of the ceremony. The food was excellent. The steak, chicken, and fish were excellent. The steak guests raved about for days. They even accommodated our one vegetarian by making a special meal just for them. In addition they easily handed the allergies that some of the guests had. The reception room, the 4 seasons, was perfect. The lightening can change for different moods which was great. Not only was the wedding handled perfectly but the hotel itself is gorgeous. Overlooking the lake with the mountains surrounding was perfect. We even had some late April snow so they made sure to turn on the fire pits so the guests could warm up next to them. The staff was perfect, the experience was great, and easy. I highly recommend the Golden Arrow for a destination wedding in Lake Placid, NY.

The wedding day of my dreams!!! If you are looking for a venue that has a space for your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and most importantly somewhere all your guests can stay.. look no further than the Golden Arrow! Our wedding weekend was everything and more and it is all thanks to the wonderful staff. Alex, Natasha and Brandon were there every step of the way to ensure the day went went as planned. The venue speaks for itself, I was hooked after the first few minutes of our tour! The hotel is family owned and operated and it truly made it that much more special for us. You honestly feel like the only bride they are working with and they are all always there to help. I was a 2021 bride and Covid threw alot of curve balls, but Alex was always so positive and kept me up to date on everything the Golden Arrow was doing to follow each new set of guidelines NY state put out. The food was incredible and many of my guests are still talking about it! We lucked out with the perfect fall weather as well. The cocktail hour space was so perfect for all of our guests to be able to mingle with one another and look out over the lake. One of our favorite moments of the entire wedding day was when we were able to go out on the lake in their wooden boat to spend some time alone right after the ceremony. With so much going on the entire day, it was so special to be able to spend some time alone with my husband and get some AMAZING shots as our photographer came along for the ride too. The reception space is perfect as it is located right next to the ceremony space with a beautiful view of the lake. We loved that our guests were all able to stay at the Golden Arrow and make a weekend of it. We are so happy we picked the Golden Arrow because we now can go back each year to spend time where we got married. The entire wedding day from start to finish was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend booking the Golden Arrow for your wedding!

This is a family owned and run business, and let me tell you that it absolutely shows. Not only is this venue well run, but the people behind the scenes are genuinely good humans. If you are lucky enough that they have your date available book it now. My husband and I were lucky enough to have our wedding celebration with the GA team and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. Alex, Brandon, and Natasha SEAMLESSLY coordinated three days of events for us (welcome happy hour, ceremony & reception, farewell brunch). They did not miss a beat. Not only were they always responsive, no matter how little the question, but they SHOWED UP for us on one of the biggest weekends of our lives. As a bride, I had some moments where I needed help with other vendors and they took every single thing in stride and handled it themselves. We'd honestly get married again each year if it meant seeing this amazing group again, as they were just class acts all the way through. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you GA team. Seriously, book them- you absolutely won't regret it.

Where do we even begin!? From the moment we met Brandon, we knew Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort was our top venue choice. The views, the bridal suite, the venue spot, the boathouse ceremony & the gondola ride after the ceremony exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process Alex & Natasha were quick to respond to my questions through emails and phone calls. The ceremony space overlooking the lake was the perfect backdrop for our vows. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and lake front property. The hotel staff was nice enough to pack away our leftover desserts until we checked out the next day. If we could change one thing, we would recommend securing an area away from vacationing hotel guests for family photos /first look.

We could not be happier with our venue choice. We held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the golden arrow and everything was perfect! Alex, Brandon and their team always went out of their way to accommodate our requests and help solve any problems. The staff at the golden arrow are always friendly. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel for the wedding and everyone was so pleased. Not to mention it is a gorgeous place to get married! We can’t wait to come back and visit in the coming years. It will always be a special place for us.

We had the best possible experience with Golden Arrow as our wedding venue. Alex, the wedding coordinator, was an absolute pro and made planning comfortable and easy, even during the pandemic. The setting is beautiful, and the team, including Brandon and Natasha, took care of every detail. We got rave reviews from our guests, and the wedding came out even better than we could've hoped! (The hotel staff was also great, especially Molly and Vinny!)

We couldn’t be more grateful and honored to have worked with Alex, Brandon, Natasha, and every member of the Golden Arrow staff we crossed paths with. COVID complicated our planning, but GA was flexible, gracious, and supportive throughout the delay and postponement process. From venue site tour before booking to clean up after the event, Alex and the team made sure we had the best day in the adk’s! Personalized touches and excellent value made this experience above and beyond any dream we could’ve imagined. We were so proud to share this family-run and female-owned, eco-minded business with our family. Rave reviews from the couple and guests all around! Can’t wait to return for our anniversary. GA makes us feel like family!

I cannot imagine getting married at a more tranquil and beautiful place than the Golden Arrow! My husband and I were looking for a place that was surrounded by nature and natural beauty, was low-key, and still had everything you need to have a ceremony and reception in the same spot. The Golden Arrow had everything and more. It is a very eco-friendly resort, it is woman and independently-owned, and it has beautiful accommodations, and ceremony and reception spaces. The people that helped us really made it special. The entire staff is great, but Alex and Natasha are especially amazing! Alex worked with us from day 1 when we were scouting venues, all the way through to our wedding day when we had to make a last minute time change to our ceremony. She helped at every single step and was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and generous with her time. We were incredibly fortunate that we did not have to alter our wedding plans due to COVID-19, but Alex and Natasha kept us updated on all changes that were occurring with plenty of notice. Both Natasha and Alex were fantastic and I cannot say enough good things about them! I also want to note that the food is DELICIOUS. Our guests have not stopped talking about how good the food was, and I wish I still had some leftovers. If I could leave a higher review, I would. %100 recommend!

Generations was a fantastic venue for our wedding weekend. We had dinner and breakfast the following morning, both of which were delicious and well-handled by staff. Our families were extremely happy with the food and enjoyed the views from the restaurant. Would definitely recommend this business for any special events!

The Golden Arrow was by far the best venue we could have asked for - we felt like family and truly cared for. The food was so delicious, the services was exceptional, our family and friends raved about the venue and still do! Alex specifically was amazing to work with and made everything so calm and relaxed! We go back regularly for our anniversary and they still take the time to catch up with us and treat us in such a special way!

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!

I thought Alex was absolutely amazing to work with! She was easy to talk to and accommodating to my family and I. The Golden Arrow didn't make me feel like they were trying to "nickel and dime" me and they were transparent during the whole process. The Golden Arrow is an absolutely beautiful Venue to have a wedding!

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!

We cannot say enough good things about the Golden Arrow. It is the most beautiful setting for a wedding, right on Mirror Lake. However, what really sets it apart is the venue itself. Alex is absolutely incredible and was so helpful when we had to dramatically shift our wedding plans due to covid. We were able to do a small ceremony on the boathouse and go on the most beautiful gondola ride after the ceremony. The GA itself has many nice amenities for your guests and is right in the heart of Lake Placid. We cannot recommend highly enough, best wedding venue in NY, hands down.

We are so happy we chose the Golden Arrow for our wedding this past weekend. Besides the amazing location and beautiful views of Mirror Lake and Whiteface, Alex was absolutely phenomenal in making our day perfect and as stress-free as possible even in the presence of COVID restrictions! The food and service from Natasha’s catering team was exquisite. I would recommend the Golden Arrow as a wedding venue for anyone who wants to have a beautiful, romantic wedding in the Adirondack.

So happy to have chosen the Golden arrow as our venue - we had a small gathering this year - the food was great the staff went above and beyond to make it all work. Really glad we went with a family owned location (check out the timeline on the 4th floor) that put the Bride and Groom first. Everyone loved the food - and the service team was nice and accommodating.

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!

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 us 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 as a place to stay all year round!!

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!

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!

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 event.

I am not even sure where to begin. This was the best decision we made regarding our wedding plans. From the first conversation I had with Alex, my mind was put at ease. We made the decision right then and there. We had stayed at the Golden Arrow before and loved everything about it. We thought it would be the perfect place to have a weekend long wedding celebration with all our closest family and friends. Boy, were we right! Alex handled and coordinated everything right from the beginning. We did not worry about anything. She helped us with every decision. The planning phase can be stressful, but with Alex managing things, we were calm as could be. The weekend of our wedding, was no exception. We, as well as our guests, were treated like family from the moment we got there. The way the rooms for the wedding guests are layers out is perfect. Keeps everyone close. Such a beautiful hotel. So much for everyone to do. The beach and water sports/boats kept all the kids occupied. We had our welcome reception at Generations the night before our wedding. What a fun time. Again, everything ran smooth and I did not have to worry or think about a thing. Food was delicious, drinks were on point and atmosphere phenomenal. The day of our wedding was exceptional. Again, I can’t stress enough, how everything was managed so well, and all went smoothly. Between Alex, Natasha, and Brandon, we had the wedding of our dreams. Alex made sure our wedding ceremony, which was under the arbor, lakeside went off without a hitch. She even took us on a gondola ride, which made for beautiful pictures. The cocktail hour was on the Boathouse. It was gorgeous! Natasha did such a fantastic job with the food and beverage side of things. She is fantastic at her job! The reception in the newly remodeled Four Seasons room was exactly as we imagined. Everything about it was perfect. Food, atmosphere, just top notch. I can not stress enough, how wonderful this venue is. Every employee at the Golden Arrow went out of their way to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. And we did! They thought of every little detail. After our reception ended, we went up to our room to change and found 3 beautiful pictures from our ceremony, laying on our bed. Just such a beautiful, personal touch. I can’t tell you how many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I know, it was the best wedding I had ever been to! Thank you to the Alex, Natasha, Brandon and all of the Golden Arrow staff for making our wedding weekend the absolute best time of our lives!!!

Alex, Brandon, and Natasha were fantastic to work with. They treated us like family and did their best to fulfill our vision! They blew our expectations away and helped us create a night that we will never forget! You won’t regret booking with them!!!!

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. They are so friendly, helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. Our friends and family were also very pleased with the venue and most of our guests stayed right on site so it was a wedding weekend. We look forward to continuing to make memories at Golden Arrow.

Our wedding experience was a dream come true and I give all the credit to Alex, Natasha, Brandon, and the entire GA staff. Everyone we spoke to helped us through the process and answered every question we had with confidence and ease. When we arrived three days before the wedding we were treated like gold. On the day of the wedding we both felt so special and taken care of, it was like a fairytale. We were scheduled for an outside cocktail hour but the weather wouldn’t allow that and the Golden arrow staff made it work elsewhere without a glitch. It was great. The cocktail hour was great. The dinners were unbelievable. Chef Chris knocked it out of the park and then some. The hotel provides water activities and a beach that all of us and our guests enjoyed each day we were there. Without going on too much I just cannot say enough great things about the Golden Arrow as both a hotel and even more so a wedding venue. If I could, I’d do it all over again, maybe once a year just to get to experience every second over and over again. Thank you to all of you from the bottom of our hearts. You will see us soon, you’re stuck with us!

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!

The Golden Arrow created an amazing wedding experience! Alex, the wedding coordinator, provider for our every need and so much more. They have the perfect set up, right on Mirror Lake and in down town Lake Placid. We rented the Black Forest Room which was a great gathering place that walks right out onto Mirror Lake. Our guests loved ice skating, dog sledding, and walking around the down town. The reception room at Generations Restaurant was perfect. The fireplace gave it a cozy feel. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was incredible throughout the resort. We heard over and over again that this was the best wedding our guests had ever been to. I can't recommend the Golden Arrow highly enough!

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!

If you are looking to get married in the Lake Placid area, definitely put the Golden Arrow on your list for venues! Our whole experience working with the team was seamless and the event coordinator Alex is an absolute rockstar! As a couple planning a destination wedding for ~100 guests in Lake Placid from another country, it was so helpful to have someone like Alex to work with throughout the year leading up to our wedding day. She was attentive to emails, phone calls and any questions we had and I always felt like things were under control. We had a fall wedding outside under the arbour with our cocktail and reception in Generations Restaurant. We had planned on a boathouse cocktail hour but due to weather, opted to shift this inside on the day of and the staff handled this with complete ease. Luckily the weather cooperated for the ceremony and we were able to exchange vows outside as planned, the scenery overlooking the lake with the fall foliage really made for the perfect setting, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Natasha and the restaurant staff at Generations were also fantastic to work with, they offered great suggestions and were able to accommodate some adjustments/substitutions based on our needs which was wonderful. The food was great and our guests gave us so much positive feedback about how much they enjoyed their meals/appetizers... No one left hungry! Also, the bridal room downstairs was an absolute godsend for getting ready in, we weren't all crammed in someone's hotel room and had lots of space for hair/make-up/snacks etc. From start to finish, everyone on site was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us and our guests throughout our stay, even as our numbers changed leading up to the date they worked some serious magic and it definitely eased a lot of my worries/stress on the big day. Alex connected us with some great vendors, including Lee (Lake Placid DJ), making our experience that much better. My only regret is that we can't relive the whole day again, it went by so fast. We are looking forward to returning to celebrate future anniversaries and would not hesitate recommending this venue to other couples!

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!!

This venue and team were AMAZING! We were looking for a place to have our destination wedding, we looked at so many places but everything was so out of our price range or just not us. This venue is stunning, and was in our budget. Alex and Natasha became our best friends during the process and we truly feel we are at home at the Golden Arrow. My wedding was everything I imagined and we enjoyed every second of our wedding weekend. Our guest still are talking about how awesome and beautiful everything was. I would recommend this venue to everyone. They won’t disappoint. ❤️

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, my (now) husband, 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 Celiac 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!

Such a beautiful location! The Golden Arrow hosted our wedding guests, rehearsal lunch, goodbye brunch and ceremony for our Labor Day weekend wedding this year and it did not disappoint! Alex and Brandon were so easy to work with and very down to earth. They helped make the weekend so special and memorable for us and all of our guests. Honestly one of the most beautiful places to stay to enjoy the lake and great company - plus free water toys, such as kayaks, paddle boards and canoes! The venue was such a big hit with our guests, we will probably plan a vow renewal down the road too.

We had our ceremony with Golden Arrow 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. Couldn't recommend them more!
