Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre

A Brief of Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre

Located within half an hour drive from the Melbourne CBD, the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre represents one of the sublime choices for couples who are planning for a grand and lavish wedding.

As a Melbourne wedding photographer who has become an almost regular guest of the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre, what I love about the Melbourne wedding venue is the luxury vibe it offers from very little details: the grand staircase, overhead crystal chandeliers as well as the massive dance floor are just some of the aspects why so many couples fall in love with the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre on the first sight.

Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre Reviews: (4.3)

Faten: An absolute pleasure to deal with the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre from helping us reschedule a snap lockdown-impacted wedding to the service on the night. We received nothing but compliments extending to the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre staff and kitchen. Two family members got married at Lakeside and it was a no brainer for me to follow them :) Thank you again to Brad the manager and team at Lakeside!

Melissa: We got married at Lakeside one week ago after postponing from last year. No amount of thank you's are enough to describe the gratitude. Dom and Brad were absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process - anything we needed; any questions we had no matter how silly - they were just a phone call away. Domenic is an amazing MC he ran everything on time, to schedule - exactly how I wanted it. It was truly the best night of our lives.

Andrew: Had our wedding in March 2021 and we’re extremely grateful we chose lakeside as our reception! The service 10/10, the food 10/10, the Victoria room 10/10! Massive thank you to Brad and the team for hosting such an amazing night, they were extremely accommodating to all our requests, HIGHLY recommend this reception!

Wedding Photography at the Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre

As a Melbourne wedding photographer, I always love to bring my couples inside the ballroom prior the reception commences. Not only I can capture the reaction and emotions of the couples who finally got to see the reception room decoration which they have spent months to plan and decorate, also the grand stairs and the large dance floor are perfect for some dramatic wedding photography.
