Waterside Events
Who We Are
It all began when three siblings decided to pursue their passion. After being raised in the restaurant industry for their entire lives, Gus Shizas, Frances Vagias, and Dina Holevas opened Waterside Wedding Venue. The location continues to thrive as a luxury event venue and restaurant where each dish is artfully created by Gus as the Executive Chef and graduate of the CIA Culinary Institute.
