Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre

Lakeside Reception was amazing for my wedding! This place is perfect. If you want to make sure that everyone walks away, feeling full & satisfied, this is the place! Not only did we receive many compliments about the food, but also the modern aesthetic it has that many love! The wait staff were great ensuring our needs were met, the reception was put together just as we wanted it and the Victoria room just looked stunning. Thank you so much lakeside for a perfect evening

Nice reception, a bit uncomfortable chairs, the food was delicious and the service was very good 👍.

Brad, Dom and the Lakeside team are an amazing group of people! They were professional and generous with their support and guidance. We hosted our reception at the Lakeview Ballroom with about 265 guests. The ballroom has been recently upgraded to an absolutely stunning modern function hall. The beautiful park and the lakeside trail behind the hall is a great place for a photo shoot in a natural setting. There is ample parking. Venue is clean and staff are well presented. Great experience!

The service was disgusting.
Meals were taken away while people still hadn't even seat on the table to eat them.
They were rushing to take away all our meals and most of my guests complained about not having food.
It was too warm in there.
Most of my guests were sweating asking for ac to the staff but they didn't care at all, I don't think our requests were too high, especially after paying more than $115 per person (with entree).
I have been to cheaper receptions and the service was absolutely perfect. In addition to that they overcharged me saying that I had 3 people extra on that night when I actually had 2 people who didn't show up, and they still keep insisting about that, PATHETIC. We will never recommend this reception to anyone.
Stay away from them.

A Memorable Celebration at Lakeside Banquet and Convention Centre!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

Lakeside Banquet and Convention Centre proved to be the perfect venue for our silver wedding anniversary celebration. The combination of the beautiful location and delicious food made our special day truly memorable. The person in charge of our event did a fantastic job, from helping us select the menu to ensuring that everything ran smoothly during the party. We received nothing but compliments from our guests who came from all over the world.

However, I have to deduct a star due to some challenges we faced with the owner. Specifically, when it came to reimbursement for an overpayment. Dealing with the owner was difficult, and it took longer than expected to resolve the issue. This was disappointing, considering the otherwise outstanding service we received.

Despite this setback, Lakeside Banquet and Convention Centre provided us with an unforgettable celebration. The beautiful venue, delicious food, and the efforts of the event coordinator made our anniversary truly special. We would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion, just be sure to clarify any financial matters upfront to avoid any potential inconvenience.

Our son and his wife where married here. The best night best service best food out of this world very professional business overall fantastic job everyone who came to the wedding was super impressed still raving to everyone about it all. Amazing job would recommend this place to everyone could not fault anything 💜

Attended a friends wedding here recently. Venue is tasteful and very clean. Room presented immaculately on arrival. The food was amazing! So tasty and plenty of it. The bride and groom should be very pleased with their choice as it seemed like great value for money. On the flip side, Service staff could do with some improvement/further training. Asked for Peroni beer, received a Corona. Asked for a glass of sparkling (wine) got water. Asked for a glass of Champagne (thinking if I re word my order I’ll get what I originally asked for) received a bottle with no cooler to place it in. Wait staff then removed my glass of half drunk sparking without asking if I was finished.
Plates also not cleared as the evening went on. Antipasto was not removed until well after we had eaten mains. Plenty of glassware left and not cleared throughout the evening.
