“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!!”

“We just got married at the springs in Waxahachie this past weekend and we cannot be more happy with how our wedding turned out! We did their package and all of our vendors were absolutely AMAZING! Our day of coordinator Lindsay was seriously a mind reader by time I noticed anything she had already done it! Our DJ Steven was the life of the party we had the most amount of people on a dance floor that I have ever seen at a wedding! Our bartenders Leylany and Madison were great prepping some delicious espresso martinis! Our catering staff was so attentive even going out of their way by fill up the water glasses on our tables. It was the best day of our entire lives and we recommend this venue to everyone!”
