Julie was our wedding planner and she did an awesome job of juggling our wishes and needs (always with a calm and kind demeanor I might add). The venue was great, all the employees did a wonderful job of helping the guests feel welcome and comfortable. We were also pleasantly surprised at the quality of food; our guests were full and happy!

I loved my Wedding at Lakeside Gardens! You can not fully see how beautiful it is in pictures alone. I would recommend visiting Lakeside Gardens if you are even thinking about this location. As soon as we drove down the drive we were sold. It really is nestled in it's own little world. The trees and lake are beautiful, the grounds are well kept! On the day of our wedding the sun was shinning and it was even better than I imagined. I had a guest tell me that they felt at any minute ferries could fly by it was such a magical day. We got MANY compliments from out of town guests as well as a few from Portland natives who had no idea Lakeside was so magnificent. The In-House Catering worried me at first and you don't taste the food before hand, but let me tell you I was very impressed. The food was delicious and presented so well. Our wedding planner was Chris and she was nothing short of Amazing! All in all I really got that beautiful fairytale wedding I always wanted. I'm already asking my husband if we can renew our vows because it was so fun!

I couldn't have picked a more beautiful location for my wedding. Lakeside Gardens was more perfect than I could describe. The surroundings were so beautiful that I hardly had to do any extra decorating and the pictures turned out gorgeous naturally. The value for the cost was so much more then any other venue we looked at. It was so easy! I had a coordinator, all my food was included, and I got to have my ceremony and reception in the same place.
Chris was the best, she went over every detail with me and made planning a so easy. Anytime I had a question she was there for me and if I left her a message she always returned my call promptly. She kept all of us wild people on track on the special day. It couldn't have gone more smoothly and I was the most relaxed I have ever been in my whole life. Chris made me feel so special, I feel like she always remembered who I was. She even gave us a gift at the end of the night!
If I could relive my wedding every day I would!!!! Thank you to Lakeside Gardens for making my day amazing!

Lakeside Gardens is such an AMAZING place to have your wedding ceremony and reception. I am so glad that I was able to book mine with them. I wanted to have my wedding there so badly that I actually booked my wedding day based on a day that they had open and not the other way around. This place is that incredible. There are swans, and ponds and lakes and bridges and waterfalls and fountains and some of the most beautiful scenery around. I absolutely 100% love this place.

I had an evening wedding so the entire grounds were lit up with gorgeous lamp lights and the water fountains in the middle of the lake were lit with multi colored lights and there were little white twinkle lights around the roof of the building and the perimeter of the balcony and bridge. It was breath taking. Some of my guests said it was one of the most romantic places they had ever been too. Couples were able to sneak off during the reception and enjoy a romantic moonlit walk around the grounds. You can definitely feel love when you are at Lakeside Gardens.

First off if you ever have the opportunity please see Lakeside Gardens. This was my fairytale come true. Everything fell into place. Pam Pullioff was our wedding coordinator provided by Lakeside Gardens. She was available for us even when she wasn't available. If we had to do it again, we would do it again there..again and again. And we would always request Pam Pullioff.

This amazing site really made our wedding the success it was! Lakeside was the answer to all my questions. They provided quality food, scenery, and have the best group of consultants I've met. I was immediately impressed with the attentive e-mails and phone calls I received from our consultant as we planned our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with two talented ladies (Pam and Chris) and truly couldn't done it without them. They seem to have a high average for food per plate, but let me tell you- it was delicious! Our guests couldn't stop gushing about the wonderful staff, smoothness of the entire wedding, and the fabulous food! If you're looking for a 'one-stop' place with beauty and professionalism, look no further!

I love Lakeside Gardens! If I had to do it all over again, I would choose the same place. Having a wedding coordinator there on the day of the wedding took a lot of the work and pressure off of us, so we could enjoy our special day. Everyone said it was one of the most beautiful places they had every been to for a wedding in Portland and the food was great! =) I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants in outdoor wedding in Oregon.
