Tudor House - Lake Arrowhead, California

I attended a wedding ceremony here last month. The bride and groom booked a cocktail hour that was to take place after the ceremony. At first, guests were told we could not enter the venue until the exact time came. Upon inquiring, the bride was told that the venue had been double book and that the cocktail hour would not be taking place with them. No apologies, no courtesy, no warnings. Just the false pretenses that there was no problem with the services that had been booked until they could no longer keep up the charade and then proceeded to leave the newlyweds to deal with the aftermath.

Quaint is the exact word I would use for the experience. The building over all is probably more suitable for spring weather. It's definitely not suited for the winter. I can't comment on how well it would function in the summertime because I didn't experience the air conditioning.

Went there for Sunday Brunch. They have a variety of salads, fruits salad, variety of quiches, grilled vegetables, variety of meat dishes, and many breakfast selections, including fruit crepe and omelet bar prepared by the head chef Michael Diaz. There's a roast that will be cut for you by the assistant chef Art. The all you can eat brunch there is $25. If you opt for the mimosa, it will be $30. Had the chance to speak with John, the owner. He stated that the place is going through some restructuring currently. The recent bad weather have wreaked havoc on his business. He said that originally his plans for the place was to have it be a playhouse and dinner theater. That is still what he dreamed for this historical place. The Tudor House is open to hold events for nonprofits, corporate, bands, and weddings. Currently they try to have events plan on the weekends at least 3 to 4 times per month. When the weather permits, they will be operating more days. Please call or check their website.

Wish I could give it zero stars. Don’t have a wedding here! My best friend had her wedding here in 2023 and it was a nightmare from the beginning. She confronted Brian about the other negative reviews and he did a good job convincing her to ignore those reviews but sure enough we found out they were truthful. Her family paid the main bill and were charged $450 fee for using a card but according to Google they aren’t allowed to charge over 4% in CA. After the deposit was paid by the parents, Brian called the bride asking for more money for his coordinator and officiant duties to be sent to him personally so he could take his family on a trip. I found out later that the owner hasn’t paid his employees in a month so that explains why Brian kept asking my friends for more money. My friend paid Brian $2000 to be her coordinator so she didn’t have to stress about the wedding planning, working and going to school. Well Brian failed. He said he’d call her weekly and didn’t. When he did call her he would just go on and on about his family. I as the Maid of Honor did most of the work for this wedding and barley enjoyed the event because I was decorating the whole thing, and then my husband the best man, was the one who made sure the wedding events all happened and directed everyone. The day of, Brian spent the whole day just washing and putting out the chairs for the ceremony. Idk why it takes all day for that but he did. Then after the ceremony he was MIA the rest of the evening. John the owner didn’t see the problem with booking a big fundraiser with a live band on the same grounds and time as the ceremony. They had a yellow tent set up right behind the alter which would ruin her pictures. They finally found some black curtains to hang up to separate the events but it looked very tacky. Even the other event was furious because they new for months about it but Brian didn’t tell the bride until a couple of weeks before the wedding which is too late to cancel. Every time my friend or I confronted Brian about something he never says sorry and he never says thank you when we do something he asked for. We always had to ask several times for him to do something as the coordinator. We were all so very stressed and busy, so the extra money for Brian coordinating was a waste. Tammy the chef was the only one who came through even though she was paying for the food herself because the owner wasn’t paying her back and she was kind enough to not want to ruin this wedding. The Manner across the street where we stayed the night ($1200 extra) was a disaster as well. Missing lightbulbs, broken showers, no mirrors to get ready except for bride, stains on blankets, no soap to wash dishes, piles of trash in the back…etc. I could go on and on but just want to warn future brides in case you don’t have the friends and family like my friend did to help save the day.

Absolutely delightful brunch, with fantastic food, lovely music, and the friendliest of servers. The Tudor House goes above and beyond in their services.
For $30 a brunch/$35 champagne brunch, you might as well go with the champagne (if you drink) because the extra $5 goes a long way in champagne! Unlimited drinks and food, with live piano playing make for such a sweet morning.
The style of this building is Tudor but they go by so much more than just the style. The waiters and waitresses all dress in formal black and white attire, which is a small part in how amicable they are to you. They constantly make sure you are okay or are filling up your drinks to keep you going. The food is delicious, with you able to go up and get whatever you want, as often as you want.
Quick note on the food, it is well put together and definitely chef-inspired, from flambayed berries for your crepes, to delicatessen cheeses and bruschetta, to crispy bacon and cinnamon buns, you will find stuff (vegetarian and otherwise) to suit your needs.
Stations include the waffle station for fresh crepes and Belgians waffles; the omelette station for custom omelettes; the party tray station for cheeses and finger foods; the station with rice pilaf, bacon, cinnamon buns, mashed potatoes, etc. ; and finally the dessert station, with cakes, freshly slice fruits, and other wonderful sweet things.

For the price, this place is fantastic.

I wish I could give negative 100 stars. What a horrific experience we just had. Went to go see JC Bentley. She was great, but after a 3 hour wait we still hadn’t been served our dinner which was advertised as a buffet . There was no buffet. They ran out of food twice. There was only one waitress for 90 people she was so overworked. We could not even enjoy the concert because the manager who was high and smelled like skunk, was also drunk. He said JC had all the money and we had to contact JC for a refund. Really? You have to contact the artist? After being treated so badly and never receiving what we paid for we left. Horrible, horrible experience. JC I am so sorry we could
Not enjoy you talent. It was such a terrible experience!!!!!!
