  Forevermore

  This hidden gem is pure magic! Words cant describe just how much I love this place. I felt transported to a different dimension. One of serenity and peace. It made my guest take a quick long needed for some, romantic date. Taylor and Noelle were so helpful in the process. The food everyone raved about! They just made everything easy and stress free. It rained on my wedding day...yess it did. They were able to set up the ceremony indoors and magically turned it into the reception. The studio was loke a fair godmother in disguise. Hair and make up was just as I imagined and more. Thank you all for making my wedding dreams come true!

  The perfect venue for our wedding

  The best location ever! Beautiful venue. I think I knew it was the one the first time I visited and we looked at 3 other venues. EVERYTHING went as smooth on the wedding day. The ceremony (which is the most important to me) and everything else went the way I wanted it to so I was very happy about that. I thought it was perfect!
  
  THANK YOU especially to our Coordinator, Noel. She was just a delight to work with! Anyone would be so lucky to have you as their coordinator. We just felt at ease with you. I will definitely recommend you guys for anyone planning their weddings or other events. You are just simply the best! Their in-house vendors are fantastic to work with as well. Everyone, from Noel to their vendors all really listened to my vision of the wedding and made it all happen.😊❤️

  Greatest day of my life

  This is the most beautiful venue in the Portland area. We looked at them all. Food was amazing and Taylor was absolutely the best coordinator I have ever worked with. I will have all my events there.

  A top notch Venue!

  Lakeside Gardens was a wonderful venue for our July 2023 wedding. They were exceptional to work with and made our day one to remember. We chose this venue because of the beautiful grounds, exceptional communication with the staff, and the inclusiveness of options that they provide. I never felt overwhelmed during the planning process thanks to Taylor, our day of coordinator. Our guests raved about the venue and loved the swan. I highly recommend Lakeside Gardens for your future venue needs.

  Great customer service. They are very accommodating especially our wedding coordinator Taylor.

  Lakeside Gardens is definitely a great place to celebrate our union. Everything was turned out as what we wanted: decorations, the colors of our motif, bouquet and food. We would also like to commend how our wedding cake was done; its appearance and the taste were perfect.
  
  Above all, we are grateful to Ms. Taylor for the well-guided wedding preparation.

  100% Recommend!

  Lakeside Gardens was a wonderful vendor to work with from the very beginning through the very end. We would choose them all over again if given the opportunity to re-do our wedding, and we recommend them to anyone in Oregon. What first stood out in comparison to other venues back when we started our search in January 2022 was that they were the most responsive venue, and they always responded with a warm and kind tone. We ended up signing papers at that time for our January 2023 wedding, and they remained just as responsive through the entire year. We had a lot of questions both in person and in emails, and they were always happy to thoroughly answer every single question. We never felt rushed when inquiring, and we were always made to feel comfortable, even with the questions we felt a little silly asking (having never planned a wedding before and also being quite risk-averse people generally). While we were assigned a specific event coordinator for our special day, there are multiple staff members, so on any given day that we reached out for something, our assigned coordinator was not necessarily working. That was never a problem though--whoever was working was happy to respond right away, at least to say that our coordinator would get back to them on their next working day, but usually to take care of our question or request right then. Further, their staff clearly has excellent communication and collaboration among each other, because they were always on the same page about details regarding our event, payment progress, etc., and they were all just as approachable and caring. Every planning decision was rooted in what my spouse and I wanted for our wedding (rather than anyone else's preferences), we felt listened to and cared for, and there were never any unanticipated surprises. The prices that we were quoted felt fair upon comparing with similar packages at other venues. Choosing an off-season date also helped us with affordability. We chose the Elopement Package, and it included everything that we wanted for our intimate gathering. The fact that we didn't have to go search for a baker for our cake or an officiant or ask for coffee and water and a champagne toast to be added, etc. really reduced potential stress on my spouse and I. Lakeside Gardens also works with vendors that made add-ons (such as photography and videography) super easy. As a result, we didn't have to coordinate details like arrival times, payments, or other logistics with those vendors like we would have if we selected outside vendors. The venue itself is also breathtaking. It is tucked away from the street, has a huge no-stress parking lot, a fountain, a lake, and live swans. There are lots of places for beautiful photo opportunities outside. Though we didn't choose to take advantage of it, there is also a tempting opportunity to stay overnight in that dream world adjacent to your event if it's available. That space was recently redone and looks beautiful. Not only was that on-site lodging space recently redone, but the inside of the event space of Lakeside Gardens was recently redone with fresh renovations and it looks outstanding!!! It is crisp bright white and modern looking with beautiful floors that would complement any event's color scheme. That extends into the bathrooms and bridal suite. When you pair those clean finishes with the scene outside of the big windows, it makes for a really lovely environment all around, no matter whether folks are inside or outside. We have already begun to recommend Lakeside Gardens to friends and family for their events, as they were incredible to work with. We built a lot of trust in them working with them for the full year, and our event itself was exactly what we planned for and agreed upon. We even got prompt follow up from Lakeside Gardens after the event, ensuring that everything was taken care of as expected. They also requested feedback on how they could improve (which is the mark of a business with excellent customer services), but we really couldn't ask for more. We 100% recommend Lakeside Gardens in Oregon for any event.

  Our wedding

  We chose lakeside gardens because we fell in love with it from the start! Taylor is AMAZING!!!!!!! Even when we were having doubts she honestly made everything so much easier!! She was professional, understanding, she met all of our needs! Everything we wanted, she made it happen! Even through our crazy busy wedding day, she was running around making sure that everything was perfect!!! We loved the venue on its own but if it wasn’t for Taylor we don’t even know how smooth things would go! Once again Taylor you are amazing and thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect! Also the food was top notch! AMAZING!!!! If we had to do it all over again we would definitely go with the same venue and only work with Taylor!! :))))

  Gorgeous Venue, Great Team

  Taylor and the Lakeside Gardens team were instrumental in helping our wedding day go perfectly. We worked with several of Lakeside's vendors, greatly simplifying our planning ahead of time, and all of those vendors, plus the Lakeside team themselves, were very communicative and easy to work with, setting clear expectations and offering great suggestions to help everything go off without a hitch. Come rehearsal day, Taylor was great at wrangling our large wedding party (and assorted family along for the ride), and made things nice and easy for us. And on the wedding day itself, it was great knowing that she was working behind the scenes to keep everything running - my bride and I didn't have to worry about anything once the dominos were set up, we were just along for the wonderful ride. I would gladly recommend Lakeside Gardens to any friends or family considering a wedding in the Portland area.

  A Fantastic and Well Received Wedding Experience

  After touring several different venues for our June 2022 wedding, we ended up at Lakeside Gardens. It was one I had found online, and it ended up being the right choice for my bride and I. From the coordinator, Taylor, to our last minute changes, to accommodating our 70 guests and support staff, to the catered tabled dinner; the preceding rehearsal dinner; the two night stay on the unique and valuable honeymoon suite, the entire experience couldn't have been better. Words cannot convey, what a wonderful experience this was; and the number of compliments we've received from guests really tells the overall story. Unequivocally, the wedding wouldn't have been the same without choosing Lakeside Gardens, and having such fantastic in-house support team.

  Lakeside Gardens

  We toured this venue and instantly fell in love. It’s gorgeous the food is good and the staff are very helpful. The swans are also a very fun little group of characters. Taylor helped us plan our wedding and coordinated on the big day she was very helpful, and did a great job keeping it all running smooth. It rained super last minute on my wedding day and I was very upset about it, they managed to talk me off a cliff and make some compromises with me so that I could still do all the things I wanted to do on my wedding day. They brought us food to our sweet heart table so that we wouldn’t have to navigate our buffet and be stopped by our guests constantly as well which I thought was a really considerate offer. Every thing they did for us was incredible. I went into thins wedding knowing nothing and they taught me a lot on the fly and handled the rest. Lakeside Gardens is a great option for somewhere to get married!

  We had a wonderful wedding

  I highly recommend this vendor our wedding was absolutely beautiful. There property is lovely and they are very easy to work with. I was not stressed on our wedding today and everything went smoothly. It was projected to rain so we had to move our ceremony inside but it was easy and still extremely beautiful we had a backdrop of the lake and they set up an arch and we still took our photos outside. Our coordinator Taylor was very prompt with questions and getting back to us and easy to work with. The food was actually very good and all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. I also highly recommend the in house photography which came out beautifully as well.

  Gorgeous and unique venue. Highly recommend!

  Lakeside Gardens made everything so easy as far as planning and setting up our timeline. The venue itself is just so gorgeous and it stood out to us not just cause of the garden but the different ceremony styles.

  Beautiful, Stress-Free Wedding

  If you want a gorgeous indoor and outdoor wedding venue that does it all flawlessly, do yourself a favor and choose Lakeside Gardens. Even though it rained, ours turned out to be the most easy, dreamy wedding a couple could ask for. From the very beginning planning stages with our organizer, Taylor, to a beautifully executed function, I truly don't know if there's another venue that would have handled our wedding better than Lakeside Gardens. 
  
  When our original venue closed down in 2020 due to the pandemic, we kept our contracts with some of our original vendors. The only exception was a florist. We hadn’t secured one yet so we used Lakeside Gardens’ florist and she took my succulent and plum dahlia floral vision and made it all come to life while saving us a ton of money.
  
  On the day of our wedding, Taylor and her crew were adaptable with switching our outdoor ceremony to an all indoor ceremony and reception due to the rain. There was even a power outage when the bridal party arrived and, thanks to a generator, none of our guests had a clue the power was out. The DJ played on, the kitchen still cranked out amazing food and the whole service staff was on point.
  
  We never worried or wanted for anything on our big day. Taylor was right there, the whole evening, with us until the end, keeping things rolling and gently reminding us of our timeline. She seemed to be everywhere, all the time.
  
  Our guests were awestruck at how beautiful the venue was and how on top of everything the staff was throughout the night. I have nothing but the highest recommendations for the venue, Taylor and her staff. If you want a professionally executed, stress-free wedding venue that will impress your guests, choose Lakeside Gardens.

  Third Times the Charm

  I could not be more thankful for this Venue and the team that came with it. My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding three times, due to military deployment, and then COVID the second time. They were extremely flexible and understanding of our circumstances and worked with us the past two years trying to make the wedding come together. Their response time was great and Angie was there to answer any qustions or concerns that I had. Due to heavy rainfall we had to move the wedding inside last minute but it turned out beautiful regardless. My wedding guests as well as myself were very happy with the food and the grounds of the venue are beautiful for pictures. Would recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married at a beautiful gardenlike venue! We were very happy with our experience, Thanks again Lakeside Gardens

  A hidden gem

  Our guests loved this little venue with their swans, bridges, gazebos, lakes, and greenery. It's beautiful for pictures and some wandered aimlessly for hours. The food was amazing and we even got a plate saved for us before the guests ate it all! We didn't have a wedding coordinator so having Taylor coordinate everything at Lakeside was a blessing. She was so patient with us as we slowly got the details down for the big day and made sure we had everything we requested. We were hoping for an outdoor wedding but the grass was too wet from rain the night before to even try. She sent us an email about this the night prior to the wedding so we wouldn't be caught off guard the next morning. We didn't have any decorations for an indoor wedding so Taylor quickly decorated the arch for us using fake flowers at Lakeside.

  Lakeside Gardens's reply:

  Thank you for your kind words. Taylor is a Rock Star....isn't she?? It makes the unexpected rain, seem like no big deal when working with amazing and easy-going couples such as yourselves! We wish you an eternity of happiness!

  Best place in Portland for special events

  Angie our Event Coordinator was fantastic...very professional, organized and ever present to make sure guests were having a good time. Alura the Chef is very talented and our food was delicious and presentation perfect. Very high quality food. I am in Sales and Marketing for a hotel company in Orlando, Florida and I book events and also organize food and beverage needs with our TEAM and must say we would take all of their employees tomorrow. What a great TEAM they have assembled !!! I am originally from Portland and would like to say I believe this to be the best venue for any event you are planning in the Portland area. Thank you again to the Lakeside TEAM and we hope to see you again in the future.

  Beautiful place, wonderful coordinator!

  Neither my husband or I knew what weddings were supposed to be like and what we did know, we opted for non-traditional. So, Angie's (our coordinator's) flexibility and patience with us was really appreciated! I felt like we had a list of questions for her every week as the wedding date got closer and then not only was it pouring during rehearsal, we had only half the amount of allotted time because my bridesmaids were late but she still stuck through with us! If I were to redo my wedding, I would want to come back here.
