Amazing Venue! Highly Recommend!

We had the most amazing experience at Lucky Arrow Retreat for our rehearsal dinner and wedding! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful—picturesque views, spacious indoor and outdoor areas, and an overall serene, welcoming atmosphere. Our guests had so much fun staying on-site, swimming in the beautiful pools, enjoying the gorgeous grounds, and celebrating with us. Lucky Arrow Retreat was incredibly accommodating and worked seamlessly with all of our outside vendors, ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish to make the wedding of our dreams come to life. The team at Lucky Arrow was easy to communicate with, always responsive to our questions, and made the planning process stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Thank you to everyone at Lucky Arrow for making our day so unforgettable! Highly recommend!

We have nothing but positive things to say about our time at Lucky Arrow. It’s been a little over a year since our wedding, and looking back as we write this review makes us wish we could do it all over again. To help give a sense of just how great this venue is, we’ll break down our review into a few categories. Location & Facilities: We were looking for something close to Austin, yet still felt like an escape from the city. From the quaint charm of Dripping Springs’ downtown to the stunning hill country views, to the modern cabins and accessible walking paths, it truly felt like we had traveled to our own private oasis. The main highlights of the venue—besides the cabins themselves—were the Overlook, Event Center, Beer Garden, trails, and the nearby Brewery & Winery (all within walking distance). The restaurant wasn’t open at the time of our wedding, but we’re sure it’s fantastic. We really took full advantage of the Beer Garden during our time at Lucky Arrow. We hosted a Halloween party there, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to decorate the space to fit the theme. It was a blast! We also hosted our wedding breakfasts there for all our guests, which made for such a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The only rule was to leave it as we found it—and we made sure to do just that. It’s such a versatile space, and we loved how it added to the overall experience. We could have stayed for so much longer and still wouldn’t have had enough time to fully enjoy everything the site has to offer. Our guests stayed two days on-site with us, but if you can swing it, we’d highly recommend three full days: arrival day, wedding day, and a fun after-wedding day. You’ll want to keep the celebration going—trust us! Accommodations: The cabins were exactly what we were looking for, and the photos online are an accurate representation. We wanted a modern and comfortable stay while still feeling immersed in nature, and the cabins delivered on that perfectly. Everything was clean, and surprisingly, we didn’t have any uninvited bug guests inside! Customer Service: One of the areas where Lucky Arrow truly shines is customer service. Every staff member we worked with was so kind and helpful. As you might expect, planning a wedding can be stressful, and it makes such a difference to work with people who genuinely care and take the time to listen to your needs. The biggest advocate for us at Lucky Arrow was Rachel Crocker, the Events Manager. She joined the team closer to our wedding date, and we’re so glad she did! This is the time when communication ramps up, and you’re bombarded with questions to finalize all the details. Rachel was incredibly prompt and thoughtful in her responses, which gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly on our big day. She really shined when working with our Wedding Coordinators to implement Plan B for rain, which involved coordinating the setup of a tent and adjusting the location of both our ceremony and reception.

I recently had my wedding at Lucky Arrow Retreat, and it was absolutely everything I dreamed of and more! From the moment we booked the venue, the team at Lucky Arrow was incredible to work with. The venue itself is stunning—there’s a beautiful mix of rustic charm and modern amenities. Our guests loved the unique lodging options, from the cozy cabins to the glamping tents, and the scenery was breathtaking. The ceremony space, with the Texas Hill Country as the backdrop, was like something out of a fairy tale. The reception area was perfect for dancing and dining under the stars, and the heated pool was a huge hit with our guests for the weekend. Lucky Arrow really felt like a getaway, allowing our friends and family to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the weekend together. I can’t recommend Lucky Arrow Retreat enough. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, comfort, and exceptional service, this is the place. Thank you, Lucky Arrow, for making our wedding weekend unforgettable!

Important Warning: Do Not Book This Venue Without an experienced Wedding Planner and Clear, Written Agreements for Every Detail Our wedding day was beautiful, but the process of working with Lucky Arrow Retreat was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. If you’re considering this venue, please do yourself a favor and avoid it unless you have a wedding planner and everything you want explicitly documented in writing. The issues started early and persisted throughout our planning. We experienced a constant turnover of staff, poor communication, and overall disorganization. I am genuinely amazed that our wedding day went off without a major hitch, and I attribute that to our exceptional wedding planner rather than the venue. Our initial visit to the venue in September 2023 was marred by a mistake in our booking. We had arranged to stay two nights, but they only booked us for one, leaving us scrambling to find last-minute accommodations. This should have been our first warning, but we overlooked it, reassured by their help in finding another place to stay. After deciding to book the venue for our June wedding, we made it clear that our top priority was having a fireworks show. Sophie, our initial contact, assured us that this was possible NUMEROUS TIMES. However, after signing the contract, we discovered that the venue had altered their policy to prohibit fireworks. This led to a prolonged and exhausting series of communications as we tried to find a solution, which ultimately involved hosting the fireworks at a neighboring property. This process dragged on for months, filled with broken promises and constant follow-ups. Guest accommodations were another headache. Their website was difficult to navigate, leading to numerous booking issues, and some guests had to change rooms during the weekend. It was chaotic and frustrating, adding unnecessary stress to our wedding plans. The weekend itself, while filled with joy and celebration, was spoiled by several issues: the restaurant was closed and food was not easily accessible for guests without transportation, the pool was very dirty, and the A/C in many rooms, and the event space failed during the hottest time of the year. To top it all off, the property was also riddled with multiple safety hazards, leading to several guests and vendors falling and injuring themselves. After the wedding, the situation only worsened. We were blindsided by additional fees, including a 250 charge for “clearing brush” for the fireworks, which was never communicated to us beforehand. To add insult to injury, after the event concluded we were told conflicting information about the cost of the property rental for our fireworks show by different staff members and asked to send them a check for more money to cover the difference. This left us feeling misled and frustrated. We asked to speak with hirer management to address these concerns but were ghosted. Despite these challenges, we made the most of our time with friends and family. The venue was beautiful, and we appreciated the freedom to create the wedding we envisioned. However, the numerous issues we encountered significantly overshadowed the positives. In conclusion: Be extremely cautious if you choose this venue. Ensure that every detail is in writing, and do not underestimate the importance of having a wedding planner. The stress and frustration we endured were simply not worth it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re happy to hear that your wedding day was beautiful, we are sorry that the planning process did not meet your expectations. An experienced wedding planner is highly recommended, and we provide our clients with a list of preferred planners to help get them started on the right track with the planning process. We do believe it is important that an equitable representation surrounding your event is portrayed with clarity. Our team is hard working and performs diligently to provide a seamless experience for our clients, and we regret any frustration that may have been caused along the way. In an effort to address these concerns on your special day, we made accommodations to include waiving fees for unreserved rooms despite the event contract, provided complimentary access to the axe-throwing area per your request and also offered a complimentary night for a future stay. Additionally, there were multiple conversations regarding our alcohol policy, though outside alcohol was still brought into prohibited areas without consent. We do sincerely apologize for any confusion around fireworks being used on our property. We do not allow fireworks to be shot from our property and the grounds during this time were very dry creating a potential fire hazard. Our team brokered incredibly hard to find a solution for the fireworks show on the neighbor's property which turned out to be spectacular according to your review and our accounts. We truly value your input and will continue to improve our processes to ensure future events are as smooth as possible. Wishing you all the best as you start this new chapter together!
