Venue Testimonials
The staff were amazing! Super easy to organise and the venue exceeded my expectations.
Ashlea S
We had a reasonably large wedding (250 people) and had both our ceremony and reception at Lakeside Pavilion. The venue is beautiful and modern, and the backdrop of Albert Park Lake made for some incredibly special photos. The staff were organised, friendly, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a larger-sized wedding venue!

Lakeside Pavilion was an absolutely beautiful venue to hold our wedding. They were quite accommodating with all of our changes of mind throughout the planning process, and delivered everything we were looking for. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the space was...
