We can't say enough good things about Lake Park Bistro! Our ceremony (on the front lawn) was beautiful, the brunch was incredible, the service was outstanding, and the outdoor space/park grounds was perfect for all the kids in attendance. Dan is a dream to work with (as was Whitney, before she transitioned to another Bartolotta's restaurant) - incredibly kind, extremely responsive, and very thorough. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the whole planning process and were so impressed by how smoothly everything went day-of, in no small part because of Dan and the wait staff's attentiveness and professionalism! An added bonus: because LPB is already beautiful without any help and is a full-service restaurant, we loved that we had minimal rentals, decorations, etc.

We hosted our June 2016 brunch wedding at Lake Park Bistro and cannot say enough positive things about our entire experience. The day was perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. Event coordinator, Whitney, was invaluable throughout the planning process and made sure all details of the day went off without a hitch. She was easy to work with, always professional and organized. She thought of details we would have missed, coordinated with our vendors with ease and always had a friendly, calming attitude. We would not hesitate to recommend LBP and their staff for any event you may be looking to host.

Whitney and the Lake Park Bistro staff made sure our wedding day went smoothly. They were 100% accommodating with my dietary restrictions at the tastings and at the wedding- I had no issues at all! Our guests still rave about having the best wedding food they have ever been served.

And who wouldn't love the beautiful venue! Our summer wedding took place in the beautiful Lake Park in a beautiful tent alongside the building. It was a perfect day.

The best place to have your wedding reception! We were so pleased with everything. The staff was prompt and very friendly with our guests' needs. Much of the success of the day can be attributed to Lindsay, the event coordinator. Thanks so much.

Lindsay and the staff at Lake Park did an amazing job. The food was INCREDIBLE, the staff was courteous, attentive and coordinated. Lindsay organized everything from getting the favors, cardbox, and seating chart set up to the ceremony rehearsal. If it wasn't for her I would have ended up hiring a wedding coordinator. She reponds to emails diligently, had no problem with making changes, and made the whole planning process as least stressful as it could be.

Kelly, the event manager, was just amazing. I really appreciated her helping us with a wedding that was being planned in Boston. The location was beautiful, the food was great, and just amazing....loved it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
