A Wedding at Timberlodge at Arrowhead Golf Club

A Day in the Heart of Love: Sarah & Tyler’s Wedding

Nestled in the rolling fairways and tranquil ponds of Timberlodge at Arrowhead Golf Club in Akron, NY, Sarah and Tyler’s wedding day unfolded like a beautifully written love story — full of humor, deep devotion, and unforgettable moments shared with their closest family and friends.

Set against the backdrop of this unique rustic wedding venue — with its timber-framed interiors, expansive patios, grand gazebo, and graceful harmony of indoor and outdoor spaces — every moment felt intentionally crafted, profoundly personal, and joyfully lived.

From the grand exchange of vows to heartfelt speeches and dancing under the lights, this was more than a celebration. It was the culmination of six years of love, resilience, laughter, and becoming “Team LoVallo Bedard” — a day Sarah and Tyler will cherish for the rest of their lives.

The Morning: Anticipation, Pockets, and Perfect Details

The sun was just beginning to warm the day as the Timberlodge’s rustic ambiance came alive with the energy of a wedding in full swing. In the softly lit preparation suite, Sarah slipped into her dress — a gown that felt so right and so Sarah: the train, the florals, and that instant smile when she saw herself in the mirror made it undeniably perfect.

And just like that — with pockets in her dress and joy in her heart — she was ready. Meanwhile, Tyler looked every bit the groom — handsome, composed, and quietly excited for the moment he’d soon see his bride. Quiet confidence met electric anticipation, the perfect blend of calm and celebration that would define the whole day.

Timberlodge at Arrowhead: A Stage Set for Love

There’s a reason couples fall in love with the Timberlodge at Arrowhead Golf Club — and why photographers delight in capturing weddings here. Its rustic post-and-beam architecture, sunny patios, manicured grounds, and photogenic ponds and gazebo create a dreamy environment that feels intimate yet grand.

The lodge’s indoor and outdoor spaces allowed guests to move freely — from heartfelt toasts under the open sky to laughter and dancing within its welcoming walls. It didn’t take long for everyone to feel like they were part of something special — both a wedding and a memory that would last a lifetime.

Vows That Echo: A Love Anchored in Truth and Forgiveness

When Tyler stood before Sarah, surrounded by loved ones and the soft rustle of nature, his words were honest, funny, and deeply sincere.

He began with a memory — their first meeting six years ago at Lloyd’s Tacos, where a stray piece of lettuce had miraculously found its way onto Sarah’s shoulder. That day wasn’t just the start of a story — it was the moment he met the woman who would become his best friend, his supporter through pharmacy school, his partner in kitchen experiments, and his love for all the seasons of life.

“It was the day I met my future wife,” he said simply — and everyone listening instantly understood just how true that was.

Then, with gentle humor and heartfelt insight, their officiant Dr. Putnam shared wisdom about love — that disagreements aren’t signs of failure, but opportunities to grow together, to shape unity out of individuality. She reminded everyone that forgiveness — not perfection — would be their guide in this shared life ahead.

Finally, with a ring in hand and love in his voice, he pledged to choose her every day. To support her dreams. To love with all his heart. To be her husband. And with that, the circle of the ring — with no beginning and no end — became a symbol not just of today, but of every tomorrow.“With these vows, I promise to be your husband.”

Toasts & Tributes: Laughter, Love, and Celebration

After the ceremony, family and friends took the mic — and the Timberlodge’s warm atmosphere became the perfect backdrop for stories that were heartfelt, humorous, and deeply rooted in love.

Megan — Maid of Honor and Lifelong Friend

From first grade to this very day, Megan’s friendship with Sarah was a story of loyalty, laughter, and adventure — from road trips to shared queso missions. She spoke of how Tyler’s presence had made Sarah smile bigger, laugh louder, and even — yes — care about the Buffalo Bills. Her toast was a tribute to joy, partnership, and the kind of love that makes life sweeter — taco nights, belly laughs, and all.

Dr. Putnham — Part Philosopher, Part Emotional Anchor

With genuine warmth, she reminded everyone of the Greek maxim “know thyself” — and extended that wisdom to knowing who you need in life. For Sarah and Tyler, she observed, that person had already been found. Her heartfelt words illustrated just how special their union was — not just for them, but for all who have loved them along the way.

Family Insights & Loving Roasts

Whether it was stories about childhood admiration, sibling rivalry turned genuine pride, or loving jabs about allergies and quirks, every speech shared one thing clearly: these two are loved — deeply and widely. The importance of treasuring each day, of laughter, optimism, and mutual support echoed through every tribute given.

And a gentle reminder from family? That life might not always go according to plan — but if anyone could handle ups and downs, it was these two.

The Reception: Fire Pits and Dancing

As the sun dipped and the golden hour bathed the Timberlodge’s lawn in a warm glow, the celebration transitioned into an evening full of laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments.

Under the glow of twinkling lights, guests gathered around fire pits, shared stories, clinked glasses raised to love, laughter, and lifelong partnership — and eventually took to the dance floor.

The rustic charm of the Timberlodge — its covered patios, open spaces, and inviting ambiance — gave every guest room to connect, celebrate, and feel part of something deeply joyful.

Final Thoughts: A Day That Becomes a Lifetime

By the end of the night, with hearts full and cheeks aching from laughter, it became clear why this day — this place — this couple — is so special.

Sarah and Tyler didn’t just host a wedding at Timberlodge at Arrowhead Golf Club. They crafted a moment in time that captured the essence of who they are together: compassionate, joyful, grounded, and delightfully real.

From the heartfelt vows that anchored their promises, to the hilarious, loving speeches that filled every corner of the lodge with emotion, to the joyous celebration that carried late into the night — this was a wedding that felt like home.

And as guests drifted home with full hearts and cameras full of memories, one thing was certain: Sarah and Tyler’s love story has only just begun — and what a beautiful beginning it is.
