Celebration of life
The Lake House Liverpool Rd Pickering. Beautiful view on the water, horrible food. I’m pretty sure our deli or tea sandwiches were hot dog buns cut in thirds. Our vegetable tray ran out of dip, and it was never replaced. The rice crackers were stale. The imported cheeses we were sure was a block of cheese bought at the local grocery store and cut up. The dessert tray had store bought hard chocolate chip cookies, and a Nanaimo bar probably from M&Ms cut up. Lots of hot dog bun sandwiches left at the end, but no fruit or desserts. 🤔
Never going back.

August 27 Wedding
We can’t thank Paul and Chad enough for the great job they did in making our day the best day ever! Everything went very smoothly and Paul did a great job stepping in when Chad was not able to make it on the actual day. The food was amazing and all of our guests had such a great time. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was all day. We would definitely recommend this spot to any family our friends looking to have events in the future!

Lake House Wedding Luz & Ryan 8-22-22
Location is conveniently surrounded by marina, boats, beach and lake view for photo shooting. Food is excellent, all the guests enjoyed everything. Venue management, Chad, servers and bartender, Tristan we're all professional. Thank you Paul Shannon for the wonderful experience at the Lake House for our recent wedding 8-22-22! We had excellent compliments from our family, friends and colleagues. Definitely will refer the Lake House for any occasions. Our lifetime memory to pass on to our children and grandchildren.
Sincerely,
Luz and Ryan

Beautiful Evening
We had our wedding at the Lake House this past weekend. Paul, the owner, and Chad, the General Manager, were awesome. They were both very easy to talk to and super accommodating and understanding of the fact that we had no idea how to plan a wedding.
Chad was our Coordinator the day-of. He was so relaxed and patient, and answered all of my silly last minute questions. I was able to keep calm and enjoy myself knowing that we were in good hands. My entire family loved working, and even just chatting, with Chad.
Finally, the view from the venue, and especially that gorgeous balcony, can not be beat. We had about 60 guests, and had more than enough room while still feeling intimate, and the sun setting behind the archway was so dreamy! I’d highly recommend the Lakehouse, Paul, Chad, and their entire staff. Well done!

Overall Great
We were somewhat hesitant given a few negative reviews, but thankfully our day went off without a hitch and we are so pleased. We spoke exclusively with Paul and he answered all our questions and was flexible with us setting up two mornings in advance of our wedding. Chad ended up being on the day of our wedding and though we hardly saw him, he was friendly and was here and there during the festivities to watch over them. We booked just three months out after our original venue canceled due to the pandemic, so we were very happy when the food served was all cooked perfectly and brought out in excellent time. The outdoor terrace is stunning for photos, and on non-humid days is absolutely wonderful! The algae showed up due to the intense hot summer, but we hardly noticed. ;)

Perfect location for a wedding
We recently had our perfect day and thanks to Chad & Paul we were able to pull it together in a short period of time with their help. Other than a bit of miscommunication near the end, both Chad and Paul were very patient with my 1000+ questions and concerns as I seemed to have one question answered and then three more come up. We were on the main floor of the venue which was helpful for our guests with mobility issues. Everyone enjoyed the view from their seats and commented on the location. Thank you Chad and Paul for making our big day stress free!

I would recommend Paul Shannon Caterers and Lake House to anyone! I had my wedding booked at another venue and they cancelled on me with 5 weeks to go and by fluke, the Lake House was available. They were so accommodating and professional, even with such a short time-frame. They co-ordinated multiple rental companies, lighting, A/V equipment, a Photo Booth, and then a great meal and service on top. My wedding was gorgeous, the food was delicious and Chad and Paul were fantastic. Its been a few weeks now and my family is still talking about it! Can't say enough great things!
