The Lakeside was an incredible venue! We didn’t have to decorate much because the interior was so wonderful! Catering Arts Catering did a fantastic job with the menu and service. Our guests had a great time and complimented the food and how beautiful the venue was. And Barbara was extremely helpful in planning and fine tuning details.

Working with Tracy at the Lakeside events center was the best scenario that anyone could ever dream of! She was in constant touch whenever I had questions trying to plan out our wedding. You couldn't dream of a better experience! Tracy also had great recommendations for vendors that I had not yet picked out, we love her and her staff!!
