Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

We had our wedding on September 5, 2025, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue was breathtaking — everything we dreamed of and more. Spencer was incredible in helping us with all the organizing leading up to the big day, and we can’t thank her enough. Megan and Corinne worked closely with our coordinator to ensure everything went smoothly, and they truly made the day feel effortless. It couldn’t have been any better — we’re so grateful to everyone who made our wedding unforgettable!

We hosted our welcome drinks here and also utilized this hotel for our room block. Our stay was made better by such a helpful team, particularly Taylor and Patty were incredible. The hotel was renovated a few years ago and the rooms, bar/restaurant, and pool areas all still felt newer. Great option if near your venue!

Ask about remote participation capabilities if you're considering a hybrid celebration with distant loved ones. Keep in mind that venues typically book 14 months or about 416 days ahead so you'll want to plan accordingly and secure your perfect space early.
