Wedding Reception Venues in Taylors Lakes

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

A garden ceremony beside the water, then dinner indoors, can all happen at Lakeside Banquet & Convention Centre. Out among its gazebos and fountains, the garden seats a ceremony of up to 100.

Taylors Lakes Hotel, also on the Melton Highway, builds its weddings around a ballroom with a built-in stage.

How the suburb's reception rooms compare:

Lakeview Ballroom, Lakeside – 230 to 650 guests, a double staircase entrance and a large open dance floor
Victoria Room, Lakeside – 130 to 270 under chandeliers, with garden and lake outlooks
Wellington Room, Lakeside – 60 to 170, with a private entrance and a balcony facing the lake
Starlight Ballroom, Taylors Lakes Hotel – up to 300 seated, fibre optic lighting over the dance floor
Courtyard Room, Taylors Lakes Hotel – 80 seated in a glass-walled room opening onto a private courtyard

Couples expecting more than 300 guests are choosing between Lakeside's two larger rooms. A smaller reception has options at both venues.

In the Wellington Room, stage lighting hangs over the dance floor and a band stage sits alongside, with a gas fire warming the foyer
