Celebrations of life · Ottawa

A gentle place to gather, by the water.

A warm, light-filled room on Dow's Lake for a celebration of life or memorial, with a caring team that quietly takes care of the details.

Celebrations of life at Lago

Somewhere calm, with the lake right there.

Lago is a two-storey waterfront venue at the Dow's Lake Pavilion, a quiet, light-filled space that feels far gentler than a banquet hall. The Vista Room upstairs, with its wall of windows over the water, suits a smaller gathering; the main floor holds a larger one.

We keep it simple and unhurried, with à la carte food, tea and coffee, a full bar if you'd like one, and a team that handles the setup and the clearing so your family doesn't have to. Tell us how you'd like the day to feel, and we'll take care of the rest.
