A Venue With a Purpose

More than a ballroom — a mission.

The Venue on Lake Lily isn't a corporate event space. We're a community-owned 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded and funded by the residents of Maitland in 1965. Every dollar from a rental sustains this storied place — and 10% goes directly to charity.

When you host your gala here, the room itself becomes part of the cause. Your fundraiser raises money twice: once for your mission, and again for ours.

Giving Back Is Our Mission
