    Jerry and the team at Parkway Banquets were very helpful in planning our special day. Communication was mainly through email and phone which worked well to coordinate details. The venue itself was beautiful and spacious, especially for the price. On the day-of, Jerry and staff were attentive to make sure things flowed smoothly. There seems to be some miscommunication around salad selections but overall the food was great, and it was a beautiful, memorable wedding that we really enjoyed.

    Busy brides turn to Parkway Banquets for peace of mind that every detail will be covered! Planning is so easy with packages that include all food, drinks, linens, decorations PLUS wedding cake, DJ and photographer. The staff is wonderful to work with and the management really and truly care about their clients - I know because I've witnessed it time and time again. My clients rave about this venue and it's one of my favorites to work with. Put Parkway at the top of your list!
