From the reviews

Very nice conference area. Clean, lots of space, food was really good, staff were on point, seating was plentiful and the layout was well done as well. The fireplace and views of the lake are a nice touch as well.

★★★★★ — Nicolina, Oct 2019

Attended a conference. I loved the views of the water and marina. The staff is nice. The rooms are a little dated.

★★★★★ — World, Oct 2023

This is a nice spacious conference center that is attached to the Best Western Hotel. Plenty of parking across the street and nice views of the River.

★★★★★ — Patti, Jan 2025

Getting married at Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
