The hall was 27degrees, it was so brutally hot you couldn’t stand it. The food was cold & the staff was extremely rude and miserable. Especially the coordinator. Do not recommend this venue!

Perfect wedding venue
I cannot recommend this venue enough! I got married here on April 1, 2023 and it was the wedding of my dreams. The whole planning process with this venue was so seamless and made me a stress free bride. Alessia was so attentive during the planning process. My maître D on the day of Gonia was amazing. My wedding was perfect. The food, staff, dj and of course location was perfect. My guests were coming up to me all night to say it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. I totally recommend.

Our daughter and son in law were married Friday 21. The guests could not say enough about how nice the venue building was. The pictures by the lake were beautiful. The staff was more like part of our family than staff. They were very organized and professional. The food was very good and plenty of it. I It was far beyond what I thought it would be. If you have a event coming up give them a call, you have nothing to lose by talking to them but you have so much to gain. Thank you to all the people that made our daughter and son in laws wedding a memory we will not forget.

October 15th/2022 - Amazing Venue!
The staff at Lakeview by Carmen's was top-notch. Our event coordinator - Alessia - was very helpful with all of our questions leading up to our special day. Our maitre'd -Jenna - was always making sure everything was going well and made sure we had everything that we needed. She also worked very well with our outside Day-of-Coordinator, both making sure everything ran smoothly and everything looked beautiful. The food was "out-of-this-world"! We had many guests compliment how delicious the meals were and the staff was very attentive and kind to all our needs. The location was prime and especially beautiful at night. Sitting from the head table and looking out from the balcony, the view of the lake really made our night more spectacular. Highly recommend for any couple getting married to come here and be taken care of by the incredible staff at Lakeview by Carmen!

Worth Every Penny
Between the all-inclusive aspect of the venue and the view, we could not pass up booking this venue.
Through the venue, we were able to book our DJ, cake, decor, food, and drinks. It made wedding planning so easy! They had easy to follow deadlines and paperwork that made decision making simple and stress-free.
The night of our rehearsal, we dropped off everything we wanted set up and told our maitre d exactly where we wanted it. They did a great job at setting it all up for us, making our wedding morning incredible stress-free. The DJ was fantastic and played all of our requests. We got so many compliments on the food and the decor as well!
Only two small things went wrong, which with such a big event is a win in my book. A lot of staff changes happened over the pandemic, meaning that our coordinator changed quite often. We were not informed of these changes, so when I would email to ask questions, I would not receive a response. I didn't know it at the time, but it was because that person did not work there any more! That happened several times, but we ended up with Alessia as our coordinator and could not have been happier about that. The second is that the reception ended very abruptly. After the last song (which we didn't know was the last song) the music just ended and the lights immediately came on. Not a big deal, but was jarring. I would just recommend asking the coordinator or DJ to announce the last song to avoid this.
Overall, we are incredibly happy with our experience.

Wonderful Experience!
We got married in September 2022 and had a wonderful experience having our wedding at Lakeview. We were thrilled with how everything turned out and our guests also had great things to say about the venue. Many were surprised such a nice beach could be found in Hamilton! It was wonderful having so many services included with Lakeview such as the food, cake and decor, and the team worked hard to help our vision come to life. We felt like the price we paid was great value for the quality and services received.

Amazing venue with an even better view!
We just had our wedding at The Lakeview last night and all I can say is wow.
Everything was amazing. Our Maître D’ was Gonia and she was absolutely amazing. So organizer and an absolute pleasure to work with. The night went off with no issues even though as the bride I was running behind.
The food was amazing. We had the Caesar salad, penne a la vodka, beef medallion, and a peach crumble. Our late night buffet was pizza and our wedding cake. Everything was delicious and our guests ate everything.
We chose to use the in house DJ; the process for sending our music list over was super easy and coordination was on point all night with our MC.
A huge thanks to Charlie, Alessia and Gonia for helping me have the wedding of my dreams planned in less than 6 weeks!!!

Great experience!
Overall, we had a great experience working with the team at The Lakeview. They were very helpful with planning and answering any questions that we had, especially since our wedding was postponed by a year due to COVID. The team was overall friendly to work with. One difficulty that we had was with the continuity of staff, which we realize is not fully in the control of the venue, but did make communications a bit more challenging. Clearer communication regarding any staffing changes would have been more helpful to not feel out of the loop.
One major upside to picking The Lakeview as a vendor is that the package included so many different things, including but not limited to: food, cake, some decor items, a honeymoon suite, a wedding coordinator, a maitre-d, etc. This made the overall planning a lot easier as we weren't juggling a ton of different vendors.
