Mountain Shadows Retreat (The Anti-Venue) provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful in making our vision a reality. The natural setting and stunning views were beyond our expectations - the gorgeous outdoor space truly felt like an oasis. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our special day ran smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. We give Mountain Shadows Retreat a 10 out of 10 and would absolutely book there again in a heartbeat. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and all the thanks to this wonderful venue for helping us create a memory that will last forever.

I highly recommend hosting a wedding or event at ArrowCreek! They were amazing from beginning to end. We first met with Samantha, and she walked us through everything, and answered all our questions. She was extremely helpful and kind. We worked with Cassie for the remainder of the planning process. She was also absolutely amazing. Coordinating little details the weeks leading up to the wedding, And most importantly She kept everything in check the day of. Everyone made the planning process so easy and comfortable. The venue is gorgeous, and the food is beyond amazing. The set up was more than perfect. I don’t think our wedding would of been as amazing as it was if we had booked elsewhere.
