The Pavilion on the Lake in Atascadero is a hidden gem in the Central Coast area and a perfect spot for a wedding. Yes, it's true that the extended drought in California has reduced the water level in the lake, but the beautiful surroundings really minimize the effect. There were even ducks on the lake during the ceremony. What really sets the Pavilion on the Lake apart is the friendliness of the staff, their willingness to accommodate all requests and their flexibility and ideas to make the wedding day perfect.
 
It all starts with Patti who provided us with wonderful assistance, floor plans for the lighting company, suggestions for the cocktail reception, all at a very fair price. There are many wedding details that are included in the rental price including a private location for the bride and bridesmaids to change, tables and chairs, a sound system that can be moved to the gazebo outside for the ceremony and then moved inside for the reception. They were even able to accommodate the ring bearer (a German shepherd) on property during the reception.
 
The food was provided by Pacific Harvest Catering which did an amazing job with the hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour and a beautiful buffet dinner. Thank you Dawn for managing the catering and for delivering everything you promised.
 
If you are thinking of having an event in the Central Coast area, don't overlook the Pavilion on the Lake.
