Venue on Lake Lily / Maitland Civic Center — Attraction in Maitland

Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is really stressful, but thanks to Bill and Mikaela at the venue, the location and drink service part of the planning was made stress free.

Our original venue canceled on us, due to the pandemic, on very short notice. This threw our plans into total disarray. We found and booked the venue after meeting with Bill, touring the property, discussing the very reasonable pricing and socially distanced seating charts.

Both wings have ample space for seating, entertainment, bar and food service. The staff has excellent ideas on how to maximize this space, so hear them out, they’re professionals. The view over Lake Lily is really impressive! The inside of the venue has an almost rustic feel to it. It’s customizable as well (within reason)! The staff at the venue let our family in to decorate before the service and it made it that much more amazing. We were also allowed use of some up lighting (Bill’s idea) so ask about that! There is also plenty of parking, I feel like that’s important to note.

Our wedding ceremony was held on the patio overlooking the lake and wow. Just wow. The venue provided an arch, runner and the seating. It was an absolutely beautiful setting.

I can not recommend this venue enough. The staff was always available and attentive to our needs and unique situation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day that much...

Beautiful location for our Celebration of Life reception. Mikaela was thoughtful and kind during this tough time. She listened and was able to meet the wishes for an uplifting event for family and friends. This included good food options, bar availability (which The Venue can provide), AV equipment, ability for live music and all with an amazing lake view. The Venue on Lake Lily exceeded expectations. We didn't have to worry about anything except enjoy and be with family and friends. Thank you Mikaela and the rest of the staff. You checked all the boxes of our "wants" and "needs". It was seamless. Grateful for...

There is a special place in our history at the Maitland Civic Center, as this is where we held our first several months of classes back in 1997, our inaugural year. Since then, the venue has hosted close to one hundred events for us between conventions, Dress Rehearsals, Holiday Shows, Cast Parties and more. Each time we have been met with the kindness and accommodation that you get only with family! We love being neighbors with the MCC and look forward to many more years...
