What amenities are included in the venue fee?
why do couples love arrowwood?
02
so many reasons!
1. We are an inclusive venue - we welcome untraditional and are a flexible venue to work with.
2. We offer A LOT, between all the venue comes with at the base price, then our affordable add-ons, which cover a good portion of what's needed for a dream wedding. We then have our preferred vendor list for the remaining, but don't require our clients to use those vendors and don't have fees if they use someone else.
3. The Owners & Staff, we are down-to-earth, friendly and truly want nothing more than to deliver our couple's wedding dreams, while making it stress-free and at an affordable rate. The owners are heavily involved because it's a passion. You'll most likely tour with Taylor and if you add photography you'll have the day captured by Byron - the two owners.
4. We offer a retreat feel with convenience, being only 30-minutes from downtown Dallas, but we also offer on-site lodging and have several off-site nearby lodging options.
5. Our property is unique and a real life fairytale.

ceremony and reception would take place in the reception pavilion. We would flip the space back and forth for you. The space would be setup like a traditional ceremony but under the hanging wisteria florals, and once ceremony is done, we'd direct everyone to the inside bar, while we move the tables and chairs back into place for reception.
what is the plan b for rain or bad weather?
200 guests, is what we feel great about with our plan B for the rain, parking and overall accommodations

we have a preferred vendor list to cover all of your needs, but welcome you to use anyone you'd like, for whatever you'd like, minus the required security and bartender.
what is your vendor policy?
we are BYOB (client provides all alcohol for an open bar) and require you to use our required bartender from the vendor list and our booked security guard. Bartender is $30/HR each and security is $40/HR, keeping things very affordable! Under 50 guests or no alcohol does not require bartender or security. Weddings over 170 require two (2) guards.

no, but our required bartender is also a caterer, who can rent these to you, which means you don't have to worry about pickup or drop off. We also have other recommendations available!
Are linens for the tableS included?
absolutely! Just no confetti or glitter allowed.
Do you allow sparklers, bubbles or rice exits?

09
absolutely! There are a lot of details and moving pieces to a wedding. A coordinator will manage the details, vendors, timeline and anything that may pop up. We offer day of coordination in-house as an add-on package. No one will know how to coordinate better at Arrowwood than us!
Should I hire a day-of-coordinator?
no. We only host one wedding or event a day, so you have all the time you need to setup if you desire to do that on your own and to just enjoy the special day!
Will there be any other weddings or events on the day of booking?

to secure your date, we require 20% of the venue fee down. Then it's a payment plan from there
(4 additional payments of 20% spread out throughout the contract). The add-on items you can share with us at any time and those are due, payment wise, 30-days prior. We recommend a 6-month notice on photos and coordination and require a 20% deposit on those. Florals, we suggest a 60-day notice. Off-site lodging is first-come, first-serve.
What is required to book? Do I need to know my add-on items when booking?
Fridays & Saturdays from 9:00am-Midnight. Sunday-Thursday from 9:00am-11:00pm.
The last hour is used for cleanup and the removal of your items. Bridal house will be available between 9-9:30am.
