Where Ottawa throws its holiday party.
Office parties, family gatherings and year-end celebrations on Dow's Lake, with a full bar, room to dance, and someone else doing the dishes.
A holiday party that isn't in a hotel ballroom.
Lago is a two-storey waterfront venue at the Dow's Lake Pavilion, minutes from downtown Ottawa and a genuinely festive place to close out the year. Book the whole main floor for the company party, or the Vista Room upstairs for something cozier.
There's a full bar with veteran bartenders, a kitchen that plates three- and four-course dinners or grazing stations, an LED dance floor for when the speeches are done, and a guest shuttle to get everyone home. We handle setup and takedown, including your décor.
The whole floor's yours
Take the main floor for the company party, or the cozier Vista Room upstairs for a smaller team.
A proper bar
A full bar with veteran bartenders, signature cocktails and craft beer, plus plated dinners or grazing stations.
Get everyone home
On-site validated parking and a guest shuttle running to and from the venue all night.
Eat, drink, dance, repeat.
Plated dinners or grazing stations, a full bar, and an LED dance floor for the after-dinner stretch. Our team sets the room and clears it, including your décor, so the only thing on your plate is the party.
Tell us your headcount and we'll build the night around it.
