    Dream come true!

    As a newlywed, I can confidently say that our wedding at Lido Banquets & Events was an absolute dream come true. The setting was incredibly gorgeous, with tasteful furnishings and an amazing perspective of the skyline. We knew the setting was ideal for our big day the moment we walked into the room. The team at Lido Banquets & Events was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. They worked really hard to make sure that everything was handled, from the seating arrangement to the music choice, and they paid special attention to our requests. Their expertise in wedding planning really showed, and we were able to relax and enjoy the festivities without any worries or stress. Of course, no wedding is complete without delicious food, and Lido Banquets & Events did not disappoint in this regard. The menu was carefully crafted with a wide range of options to please all palates, and every dish was beautifully presented. But what truly caught our attention was the staff's first-rate service. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every need. From making sure that the bride and groom were taken care of to ensuring that our guests were comfortable and happy, the staff at Lido Banquets & Events truly went above and beyond.

    Perfect as planned

    When searching for the perfect venue, several factors were crucial to us: atmosphere, location, affordability, and ease of planning. We wanted our wedding to be upscale and beautiful, and Lido's exceeded our expectations on all fronts. As a small wedding of 50 guests, Lido's provided support throughout the entire process - from the venue tour, walk-through of inclusions, to tasty tasting. On our wedding day, the coordinator went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and flawless event. Despite the common belief that things won't go perfectly on your wedding day, Lido's proved otherwise. Our small guest list allowed us to spend quality time with each other and our guests danced all night. The space was perfect and our only regret is that we only get to get married once. Thank you, Lido Banquets & Events!
