  beautiful facility, excellent food. We went to a wedding there in july 2010. It was very nice. We considered having ours there because I am from the area, but ended up doing it here in the cities instead. Be aware some of the local vendors are more expensive than some of the vendors here in the cities (photog, DJ, etc.).

  I went to a wedding there in 2009. Ceremony location was very pretty and ceremony itself was quick, but there were quite a few people walking around in the background of the ceremony. (I'm not sure if all ceremonies are held in the same place or if gawkers will bother you - but I thought I'd bring it up!)
  
  The cocktail hour was outside and it was perfect MN summer weather, so it was gorgeous. (There was an issue with the beer - they forgot to bring out a keg or something, but replaced it with bottled craft beer, so it was basically an unintended upgrade.) Reception was held in one of the banquet rooms and one of the only things I remember was that food took a long while to get to our table...quite awhile after serving had started, and almost 30 minutes after that to bring out the vegetarian option, so the dinner was basically over by the time the poor girl got her food.
  
  It's always nice having everything in one location though, and, overall, I thought this one was pretty nice.

  I've never been to a wedding there but FI grew up on Lake Carlos (connects to Lake Darling that Arrowwood is on) and he actually worked there throughout high school. His parents still live up there so we go to Arrowwood a lot in the summers for drinks/food on the back deck. I love the food and the service has always been very good. I've seen weddings going on and they look beautiful. The grounds are really nice and there's a lot of things for your guests to do when it isn't wedding time.

  I wend to a wedding there last summer. The location was beautiful, but there were a lot of people walking around in the background of the ceremony which was kind of distracting. The apps were delicious but got kind of icky quickly since ours were served buffet style outside and the weather was HOT. Dinner was ok, pretty standard wedding food, and the staff all seemed nice enough. My friend never complained about working with them so nothing too awful must have happened ;-)
