Lakefront Acres was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Avery and her team were incredibly efficient, caring, and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.

My husband and I got married at Arrowwood on May 26. It was an absolutely amazing experience. We used not only the venue, but the add on services of coordination, decoration, and floral. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted it and I would describe the day as perfect. Every question that I had leading up to the day was answered quickly, kindly, and efficiently. Our coordinator, Bri, truly made the day so easy and fantastic. She was on top of everything from decorations, wrangling groomsmen, and making sure I was having a relaxing/ fabulous time. I could not be more thankful for her help and her guidance in making decisions and the wedding timeline. If you are considering using Arrowwood, do it!!

Once I saw the venue online, I knew that this was one. The venue itself is stunning. I am fairly type B and found the wedding planning process pretty overwhelming, but luckily, they offer a package that includes catering, bar, linens, DJ, and day of coordination. On top of that, they partner with Tease to Please and B. Blumen Flower Farm, which made choosing the last of our vendors even easier. The Springs also offered several tastings so we could try different menu items and get a feel for what both the catering and bar could provide. The catering was absolutely delicious, even better the night of the wedding than it was at the tastings. The bar was amazing, and the bartenders were wonderful. Our DJ was incredible. We were assigned Steven Carroll, and he was fantastic to work with. We had a call, I sent him the playlists I had been building, and they use an app that made everything seamless for both of us. He even scheduled a follow up call the week before just to check in. He did not miss a single beat and had almost everyone out on the dance floor with no line dances needed. I truly cannot thank Steve enough. The biggest blessing of the entire process was our day of coordinator, LINDSAY LEMMONS. The woman you are. From the moment she showed up, everything felt completely seamless. She handled every detail big and small, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy each moment without a single worry. She managed the timeline flawlessly, kept our vendors in sync, and somehow anticipated needs we did not even realize we had. When tiny hiccups popped up, she handled them quietly before we even knew they existed. Our ceremony flowed beautifully, our reception ran perfectly, and I felt genuinely cared for the entire time. Thanks to her, our wedding day felt effortless, organized, and perfect. And she truly thought of everything. Once the bar opened, she already had my drink waiting for me. From the moment she arrived to the moment she left, she made sure I had everything I needed. She was the perfect partner in crime for the final stretch of wedding planning, and I could not be more grateful that she was our coordinator. We could not recommend her more. Tease to Please did our hair and makeup, and they were perfect. Laci Coker did our hair and gave every girl exactly what she wanted, even those who told her to just freestyle. I really wanted to wear my natural curls, and Laci made it happen. She enhanced my curls so they looked flawless all night. Tiffany Pham did our makeup, and she was incredible. I was convinced I would need a full redo after our first look and private vows because I was sobbing, but my makeup did not budge. Both girls were amazing and so much fun to have with us during the getting ready process. For florals, we used B. Blumen Flower Farm. I already followed her on IG, so I knew the arrangements would be amazing. But I was still a little nervous because I did not really have a color scheme. I just sent her the bridesmaids' and the moms' dresses and let her do her magic. And it was literal magic. I know I am biased, but I truly do not think I have ever seen more beautiful flowers. They brought everything to life. I cannot express how grateful I am for everyone who helped make our day perfect. Every single vendor we had was the perfect fit and helped with anything and everything we could have dreamed of. If you are considering booking, DO IT! It is so worth it.

About wedding venues in Malakoff, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?
