Arrow Park — Attraction in Town of Monroe

From the moment we set foot on the grounds, we were charmed by Arrow Park. It is a singularly gorgeous venue - an Italianate mansion on acres of untouched land. But what drew us in were the options available: you can get married on a beautiful lakeside beach, inside the mansion itself, in a garden, or in their pavilion building (which is also their rain location for receptions). And the staff are dedicated to helping you customize the venue to create the day of your dreams. The TL;DR of this review is we would highly recommend Arrow Park for anyone looking to have a unique wedding supported by the kindest, most accomodating staff I have ever had the good fortune to meet. It’s worth mentioning up-front that Arrow Park is, in many ways, a one-stop shop. In their quote, they include tables, chairs, linens, glassware, bar/bartending service, and day-of coordination. You can also add on staying at the mansion overnight (they have beautiful bedrooms on the third floor that they use as bridal/groom prep suites, but can house up to 18 guests if I remember correctly) and a bonfire afterparty. In addition, the garden has beautiful flowers planted in it spring-fall. My husband and I had definite Ideas about how we wanted our wedding day to be - we wanted food trucks, a tattoo artist, and for all our friends to be able to jump onstage and perform. Without blinking, Arrow Park said, “Yes, totally! Let’s make that happen!” In the lead-up to the wedding day, we met with the day-of coordinator, Shaniqua (Nikki), who professionally and with genuine excitement helped us think through aspects of the day we hadn’t considered, and make plans for moments we hadn’t thought about yet. In the entire lead-up to the wedding we felt well cared for, extremely communicated-with, and supported. On the day of, the venue looked absolutely stunning (Oct 15-25 is a Great Time to book AP). From the second we arrived on the grounds, we knew the day was going to be perfect, because the staff were on their A game and troubleshooting problems before I or my husband could even find out there had been a problem. In fact, I didn’t find out about any of the hiccups in the day until the day after - that’s how quickly and discreetly AP staff handled logistical conerns like one of our food trucks arriving just as the ceremony was due to start. They also were considerate, bringing food and drinks to where we would sign the marriage license so that we could have a moment to nourish ourselves before partying all night. In short, Arrow Park is one of the most unique venues in the Hudson Valley. It is absolutely stunning and well-maintained. But the real treasure here are the staff. Thank you to Kelsey, Nikki, Bri, and everyone else who supported us on our day! We ended up having the day of our dreams because...

I cannot say enough about how perfect Arrow Park was for our daughter’s wedding in September, 2019. We had known about Arrow Park for years and we were very happy that our daughter and her fiancé chose Arrow Park for their wedding.

Having a wedding at Arrow Park is like spending the weekend at a comfortable, beautiful, private and unique country house back in the heyday of the 1920’s. The mansion, garden and grounds are much as they were 100 years ago with original architectural and landscaping details and all the charming and gracious ambiance of a distant and very civilized era. Our bridal party stayed at the mansion where cocktails and the reception were held; the ceremony itself was in the beautiful Victorian-style garden and our dinner and dancing were in the immediately adjacent pavilion and were followed by a bonfire down on the lake’s beach. We had the entire place to ourselves from Friday afternoon for rehearsal dinner through Sunday morning. If you have ever been to a wedding held at a place where people are streaming in and out and numerous events are scheduled stacked on top of one another, you will appreciate the privacy and, may I say again, the relaxed weekend country house atmosphere of Arrow Park.

Arrow has a terrific catering staff. The original kitchens have not been torn out to make way for the bubbling steam tables and lukewarm buffets of modern wedding venues. Instead we had marvelous Rocco and his assistants from Love + Rosemary who managed the bars and catered the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, the dinner itself and the s’mores down on the beach for the bonfire. Everything was outstanding, fresh and delicious.

No one should mistake me: Arrow Park is not for everyone. If you insist on private bathrooms in every bedroom, if you prefer bland concrete block to intricate mosaics and tile fireplaces, if you require multiple electrical outlets instead of setting aside your electronics for a day, if you must have a fitness center, pool, rowing machine, minbar and giant TV instead of a lake, calm woods and a walk to a waterfall, then, please, head straight to the nearest chain hotel. If you want something truly unique and enchanting, where the members of the bridal party and all the guests will be exclaiming over how amazing this venue is, if you want your wedding to be truly special, then visit Arrow Park. We had the best time, we felt our money was very well spent and everyone came away absolutely delighted.

We cannot recommend Arrow Park night enough; our experience was...

We had our wedding at Arrow Park on 7/17/2025 and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the moment we started working with their team, we felt completely supported, cared for, and understood. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Kelsey, Nikki, and Juliana by our side, it felt easy and even enjoyable. They treated our wedding as if it were their own and everyone could feel the love and dedication they put into making our day perfect.

One of the most touching moments for us was how attentive they were to our family. They made sure my elderly father was comfortable throughout the day, checking in on him often and even bringing him water to make sure he was okay. That level of kindness and compassion meant so much to us and to our entire family. They also checked in with my husband and me regularly, making sure we were eating, drinking water, and taking little moments to breathe and enjoy the day.

The execution of our vision was flawless. Every detail we had dreamed about came to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. The grounds at Arrow Park were exceptional with the perfect mix of natural beauty and elegant charm. Our guests could not stop talking about how stunning the venue was. The evening flowed so smoothly because the entire Arrow Park team worked seamlessly behind the scenes. We did not even realize how many moving parts there were until we saw everyone working together, even the golf cart drivers who were kind, helpful, and added to the wonderful experience.

Communication with the team throughout the planning process was amazing. Every email and text we sent was answered quickly, thoughtfully, and with genuine care. That kind of responsiveness made such a big difference and gave us so much confidence leading up to our wedding day.

And of course, our guests are still raving about the bartender who was not only incredibly skilled at making drinks but also fun and engaging with everyone who came up to the bar. It truly felt like every member of the Arrow Park staff went above and beyond to make our day special.

We felt so loved and supported throughout the entire wedding journey, from the planning stages to the very last moment of our reception. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more thanks to the incredible people at Arrow Park. We cannot recommend this venue and their amazing...
