Lakeside Pavilion is a contemporary function venue on the shore of Albert Park Lake in Albert Park, a few minutes from Melbourne's CBD, hosting both wedding ceremonies and receptions. Its open-plan room with tall arched windows looks across the water to the city skyline, and it caters for large cultural weddings, including Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese and Jewish celebrations, of up to 900 standing guests.

Floor-to-ceiling arched windows look across Albert Park Lake to the city. A favourite for large cultural weddings, with room for up to 900 standing, only minutes from the CBD.
