We’ve literally been getting married all year—starting with signing our marriage license on December 31st, exchanging private vows on top of a mountain in early September, and wrapping it all up with the most incredible celebration at Mountain View Ranch – Lakeview on October 11th. (No joke—countless guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended!) From start to finish, the Mountain View Ranch team was there for us—not just as planners, but as enthusiastic supporters who were genuinely thrilled to celebrate with us. Wedgewood Weddings has a seamless, well-organized process that helps keep you on track without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you're someone who wants every detail handled or you like to DIY and bring in your own vendors, they give you the flexibility and support to make your vision come true. Our coordinator, Janell, is an absolute rockstar. We truly couldn’t have done this without her. Her attention to detail, warmth, and excitement made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free. She felt as invested in our “Happily Ever After Party” as we were all year. The event staff on the big day went above and beyond. Becca kept everything flowing smoothly while remaining approachable and engaging. Mindy made us feel like we were hanging out with a new best friend—who also happened to be making us amazing drinks. And Christy, Evie, Marley, Nate, and Tyler didn’t miss a beat—ensuring guests were happy, well-fed, and everything stayed organized and spotless. If you’re looking for a stunning venue, a professional and caring team, and the kind of celebration your guests will be raving about long after, this is the place. Thank you, Mountain View Ranch & Wedgewood Weddings. You helped make our dream wedding a reality.

Arrowhead is absolutely stunning — we knew it was the perfect venue after our tour, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The food exceeded our tasting, the service and presentation were top-notch, and we loved that every guest got two entrees. Communication was a bit slow leading up to the wedding, but everything was handled beautifully on the day. The only thing we were a bit disappointed about was that we weren’t able to golf around our wedding date. With so many family and friends traveling from out of town, we had hoped to enjoy some time on the course together as part of the celebration, but the timing just didn’t work out with all of Arrowhead’s events. Even so, Arrowhead provided the most magical backdrop and an unforgettable experience—we would highly recommend it to any couple considering this venue.
