Perfect Day

We loved this venue for our wedding, it's beautiful. Kristen ensured that everything was taken care of and was there on our big day to help everything flow smoothly. She is friendly and has a wonderful calming energy, quick to respond and easy to communicate with.

Incredible!!!

From the moment we stepped foot on the venue and met with the coordinator to inquire on what they had to offer for weddings...to the moment it was time to clean up when the reception was over....has been magical. Jessica, who runs the wedding cordination at Lakeside has been an absolute Angel! Whenever we had a question and/or something was not going quite right she was always very responsive and helpful. She was a huge part of making our day memorable and beautiful!!!

This is such a picture perfect place! I have had the pleasure of doing a few shoots here and you couldn't ask for a better view. A seaplane was docked and it made for some really memorable images for the couple.
