La Sure's Banquet Hall

La Sure's Banquet Hall, Cakes, & Catering is a family-run event venue in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, tracing its roots to 1972, when Shirley "Sure" and Tom Heisler turned a home cake-decorating hobby into a bakery built around a proprietary French butter cream frosting recipe. The family added a café in 1982, and their son Bob and his wife Bev joined the business in 1985, growing the catering and cake-decorating sides of the operation. The current banquet hall opened at its Washburn Street location in April 2002, and the bakery moved on-site after the café closed in 2021. Today the venue hosts everything from intimate gatherings to formal dinners for up to 400 guests. The main hall can divide into four smaller rooms for more flexible group sizes, while the Ceremonial Garden offers a fenced, half-acre outdoor setting for up to 200 guests, centered on a raised white pergola and two fountains, with an indoor backup space available in case of weather. Full bar service and audio/visual equipment are available for events, and the in-house bakery — with more than 25 cake flavors and a history of decorating over two million cakes — handles everything from wedding cakes to everyday desserts for the more than 90,000 events La Sure's has catered.
