We offer on-site catering for pavilion events.  

The Pavillion is available from 8:30am to 10:00pm on the day of your rental.  To confirm your selected date, we would require $100.00 to secure the date along with a signed agreement. The total rental fee is $850.00 per day and $1,300.00 for a wedding event.

The refund policy for the deposit is:

90 days prior= 100% refund

60 days prior= 50% refund

Less than 60 days = No refund. (If Lakeside is able to re-rent the facility, we will refund 50% of the deposit.)

The deposit will be used as a cleaning/security deposit that will be refunded if the building and grounds are sufficiently cleaned and the equipment/facilities are in good working condition at the end of the event. 

The entire rental balance is due 14 days prior to the day of the event and must be paid in full before the pavilion can be accessed.

If you are considering renting our pavilion, two dates will be held for seven days while you make your decision.
