From the reviews
My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago. It was a total dream come true. Noel took care of all the details and there was absolutely nothing for me to worry about, except having a great time. The food was delicious, the grounds are beautiful, the suggested vendors were amazing.
What a magical place. Not only do they serve amazing food, but quite the experience. From the staff to the venue. Our coordinator, Noel, was an absolute dream, ensuring that we were taken care of and that our vision came to be. It was my dream wedding, and an absolute gorgeous backdrop.
Such a beautiful venue! From the first time I visited the Lakeside Gardens I fell in love. This was one of the best places I ever performed live music for a wedding. Great group of people working here. Everyone was very helpful and kind! ~ Lockyear Music 🎻
I am so glad that we decided to have our wedding at Lakeside Gardens! Noel was our DOC and a pleasure to work with. We were also able to work with Kindra, who was also great. The whole coordinator staff seem to be on top of it and very professional overall.
Getting married at Lakeside Gardens
Lakeside Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Lakeside Gardens
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Lakeside Gardens — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
