We hosted a quinceañera this past weekend and it was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish! The venue was stunning, and it saved us money on decorations since it was already beautifully set up. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, Andre and his wife really are amazing people. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the delicious food! Everything was a pleasant surprise, and the desserts vanished in minutes, a testament to how good it was.Overall this venue exceeded all expections. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a special event.

My mother’s 60th surprise birthday party was a complete success! Andre and his wife were so professional, accommodating and on point. From the beginning they were involved and explained everything and expectations were beyond met. I was a little hesitant on the food since I did not do a tasting but everything was delicious and fresh. All of our guest had a great time and enjoyed the entire night. I can’t wait to host my next event here. 10000% recommend this place. Thank you Andre and your entire staff.

We had my daughter’s Quinceanera on October 21,2023. I still can’t get over on how beautiful and elegant everything was. This venue is sparkling clean. The staff and management at lido banquet were very kind and professional. Thank you Andre for that. The food was amazingly delicious. My guests still can’t stop talking about how delicious the food, drinks, and sweet’s were.The led lights made everything so cozy and warming. It was truly such a special night thanks to Lido. I highly recommend this venue 100% for your next event.Sincerely Brenda ?

I wish I had taken pictures throughout the night, I took a few videos & unfortunately, I'm not able to upload that to this review. To start, our wedding was on Oct. 7, 2023, after a little under two years of planning. There were a few things that were very important to us when looking for a reception venue and Lido's fit all of the criteria we had.Top of that list was quality of food, I was impressed that Lido's offers food tastings before signing a contract because that is not the norm. I would've hated to book a venue to later find that the food was terrible. However, that was not the case, we loved the food we tried at our tastings and our guests raved about the food, from the appetizers, to the family style dinner.Another priority for us was finding a venue that included a bulk of the items that are often outsourced such as linens, bar, cutlery, and chairs to limit the number of vendors and ultimately price. Lido's has 3 packages to accommodate different budgets. In my opinion, for ALL that is included- it's a very reasonable price per person.Lastly, we were looking for appeal. Lido's recent renovations along with their white dance floor was perfect for our romantic/modern Mexican vibe we were going for.I'd like to thank the Lido's team for doing an amazing job executing my vision. Although Lido's provides table numbers, centerpieces, and napkins I chose to bring in my own. I know that was additional work for their staff to set up, but everything turned out stunning.

If you are thinking about booking this place, I don’t recommend it. I was there for a wedding this Labor Day weekend, Saturday to be exact. To paint you all a picture, we the wedding party and DJ, arrived to the banquet early and with outside food. This led to the manager, Andre, to make comments and disapproval facial expressions. The newly weds began to be concerned about the contract they signed with the place. According to the couple, there were terms agreed upon that he stated that evening were never made or approved. Such as lighting and equipment approval for the couple’s entrance. He also told the bridal party that we were too early and that we were getting in the way of set up. In addition, limited the photographer to a tiny space that prohibited him to take full images.When approached, not once but twice about communicating any further concerns to the father of the bride and/or bridal party, he stated, “You must be upset with the fact you couldn’t eat inside the room.” We tried to resolve the issue by apologizing and asking if there was a location we can be to avoid getting in people’s way. He said, “There really is not. I didn’t make the contract with you.” Later that evening, he yelled again at the DJ and father of the bride when they were both cleaning and leaving. He stated, “get out, you’re in my house,” along with foul language.With that said, I found the place to be unprofessional and stressful. In the website, they pride in stating that they have, “professionals staff,” and “with my [Andre] 25+ years of experience…yours will be another success story…” to be false statements.With much cautious, please reconsider this place. Sadly, Lido’s Banquet robbed a joyous occasion away from all members of the wedding party, especially to the bride and groom.
