Planning & Booking

How far in advance should I plan a Celebration of Life?

There is no single required timeline for planning a Celebration of Life. Some families gather soon after a loss, while others choose a later date that gives relatives and friends more time to attend. Once you have a preferred date or general timeframe, contact Lake Memorials so we can check venue availability and help you begin planning.

How soon can I book a Celebration of Life at Lake Memorials?

Availability depends on the date and venue, so contact us as soon as you have a timeframe in mind. You do not need to have the guest count, food, or every detail finalized before checking availability.

Can we start planning before we know our exact guest count?

Yes. An estimated guest count is enough to begin. It helps our team determine which venues and Celebration of Life package options may work for your gathering.

Can we tour the venues before booking?

Yes. Contact our team to arrange a time to see the available Lake Memorials venues and get a better sense of the spaces before making a decision.

What do we need to get started planning a Celebration of Life?

Start with your preferred date or timeframe, an estimated guest count, and a general idea of whether you are planning a memorial service, reception, or both. Our team can help you work through the venue, food, setup, and other available options from there.

What is required to reserve our date?

A $1,000 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your event. The remaining balance is due 72 hours before the event. An 18% service fee and applicable taxes are additional.

Venues & Guest Counts

How many guests can Lake Memorials accommodate?

Lake Memorials offers three main indoor Celebration of Life venues:

  • Royal Banquet — Up to 60 guests
  • Grand Atrium — Up to 130 guests
  • Swan Banquet — Up to 225 guests

Celebration of Life package tiers are currently available for 50, 100, and 150 guests. Venue capacity and package guest count are separate, and our team can help you determine which combination works for your gathering.

Which Celebration of Life venue is best for our guest count?

Royal Banquet is the most intimate option for gatherings of up to 60 guests. Grand Atrium accommodates up to 130 guests. Swan Banquet is the largest space, accommodating gatherings of up to 225 guests.

Your estimated guest count is a good starting point for narrowing down the available spaces.

Can we have the memorial service and reception at the same location?

Yes. Celebration of Life packages can include seating and a podium for a memorial service held inside the banquet room or in an adjacent garden area, depending on the venue and setup selected. The reception can then take place on the same Lake Memorials property.

Can part of the Celebration of Life be held outdoors?

Lake Memorials includes outdoor garden areas and waterfront settings along Lake Jacqueline. Outdoor options depend on the venue, event setup, and availability, so let our team know if an outdoor service or indoor and outdoor gathering is important to your family.

Personalizing the Memorial

Can we display an urn or our loved one’s ashes?

Yes. An urn can be incorporated into the memorial setup along with photographs, flowers, and other personal items chosen by the family.

Can we bring photographs, a memory table, guest book, or personal belongings?

Yes. Families can incorporate framed photographs, memory tables, guest books, memorial programs, and meaningful personal belongings into the gathering.

Can we show a slideshow or memorial video?

Yes. Celebration of Life packages include access to a projector and screen, making it possible to share photographs, memorial videos, or other visual tributes during the gathering.

Is a microphone or podium available for family members who want to speak?

A podium and house speaker are available for memorial service setups, giving family members and other speakers a designated place to share memories, readings, or remarks.

Can our Celebration of Life include a religious or traditional memorial service?

Yes. A Celebration of Life can include religious traditions, readings, prayers, speakers, music, and other elements that reflect your family and the person being remembered.

Can we bring our own clergy member, celebrant, or officiant?

Families may arrange for their own clergy member, celebrant, officiant, family member, or other speaker to lead or participate in the memorial service.
