The Lakeside Gardens

My wife and I were married here, at Lakeside Gardens, in August 2014, and it could not of been a more perfect wedding. Chris Cunningham, our Special Events Director, did an exceptional job in preparing us and guiding us through the events of our wedding day. Chris was so thorough, precise, and absolutely calm throughout the whole process that my wife and I had not a care in the world. We were able to completely enjoy our enchanting day. Chris was the cornerstone in making our wedding day absolutely magical, just as a special life-​event such as a wedding should be.
As for the facilities at Lakeside Gardens, the grounds are fantastical with well groomed paths and quaint whitewashed gazebos tucked in among giant evergreens and colorful flowering plants. The small lakes on the property work perfectly to enhance the views and add a level of heavenly beauty that is perfect for a wedding.
The layout of the event site was excellent. My wife and I were married at the entrance to a beautiful gazebo surrounded by the majesty of the Lakeside Gardens grounds. Following the ceremony, our guests easily made their way into the reception hall, which was only a few feet away from the ceremony. That convenience allowed for smooth flow in the events of the wedding, which Chris masterfully orchestrated. Our guests had an extremely enjoyable time because they didn’t have to worry about moving from one venue to another.
Everything at Lakeside Gardens is perfectly located, allowing for all parties involved in the wedding and all guests attending the wedding to have an unforgettably enjoyable time.

We attended a wedding last weekend at this beautiful venue. The day of wedding coordinator was super helpful and nice to work with. We spoke with the head chef (great food, by the way) who told us that a large part of the reception hall was recently added on. It’s a beautiful and important addition to host larger capacity weddings. It was a perfect Oregon Summer evening and the guests were able to wander the grounds in addition to the dancing and photo boothery.

I got married here in 2008 after driving past this venue on my way to my aunts house for 20 consecutive years. When we got engaged and it came time to look at venues we checked dozens of places out, and this one just kept sitting in the back of my mind.
I let my husband to be give this place a once over and we even met with the wedding designer. When we walked back to the car, we both looked at each other and said «This is the place».
We booked the venue a year in advance, which seams pretty typical for most places. We got a great package with a buffet style dinner, outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. The whole experience was a breeze. We where appointed a wedding planner who walked us through everything step by step and reminded me to book things like photographers and DJ’s along the way.
We also had the opportunity to taste the food prior to setting our menu and my oh my was everything good! It’s been four years and people still remember the roasted potatoes and prime rib that was served.
Looking back on my wedding day, there are a few small things I would have tweaked, but the food, the venue and the ceremony was perfect and I am so grateful 4 years later that we choose lakeside gardens.
