Parkway Place

d to hear the same from my guests & how surprised they were that the food was really good. Elizabeth and Katie helped make our special day unforgettable! I almost want to do it again!

so I could work with Elizabeth again! Worth every single penny!!

thing was just the way we discussed and she was able to set up my centerpieces and tables the way I wanted. Food was good I did a top round of beef, Italian Chicken, green beans, baby baker potatoes and appetizers we had quiche cheese platter and veg and dip and it was buffet style. I would recommend them to a friend!

with. Parkway takes an all hands approach and really takes a lot of stress out of the planning. Would highly recommend to anyone!

et a hold of my coordinator Katie via email whenever needed. The problems started to occur the day before my wedding. Rehearsal was so stressful and I felt rushed the entire time. I also had a random coordinator that I had never met until that day! Katie my initial coordinator was there but was focusing more on the wedding in the main hall, which made me feel pushed aside. The day of my wedding everything was beautiful and couldn't have been better!! The cake was beautiful which I was made through the venue and the catering was efficient and delicious!! I'm still getting compliments till this day! Unfortunately my coordinator for the day was not aware I wanted floating candles, I just had vases with fake flowers in them, which I stayed up the night before my wedding anchoring down so they wouldn't float! We also had a few problems with dimming the lights because the coordinator was not familiar with them (Awkward). Although their were moments where I was disappointed my vision wasn't completely followed through with, I still loved my wedding day and was happy with the venue overall.

ll my wedding planner Rachel Was absolutely top notch!! She turned my dream into a reality!!!! I can never thank her enough for everything she did for us!! I had the best day of my entire life!!!

had. Katie was our coordinator for the day of the wedding, and she was amazing! Everything ran smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Even during the wedding my sister said to me "oh my gosh Katie is so great!" My husband and I are so happy we chose Parkway Place as the venue for our wedding reception. We would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding!

ding planning experience easy and stress free. But they helped me turn my wedding day dreams into reality. The wedding reception flowed smoothly in a well organized manor that kept guests engaged and happy. The food was delicious, some of the best food I've ever eaten at a wedding. We received many favorable compliments. We also received many compliments from guests in regards to sound quality. Parkway place has a sound system designed around the center dance floor. Making the dance floor a hot spot filled with music, but also making conversations easy amongst the guests seated at their tables. The room in which our reception was held is spacious and comfortable. We hosted just under 300 guests. It is beautiful with a classy and elegant feel. It doesn't require a lot of additional decorations, only enough to give it your own personal flavor. I created most of my own additions, and was able to set them up myself (with plenty of help from the staff) at a comfortable time before the event. Afterwards the staff made tear down 100% stress free by tearing down and packaging all my personal touches and decorations. They only asked that we pick up the belongings early into the following week. Again, I cannot say enough how satisfied I was with the whole parkway place experience for our wedding day. And the number of compliments we received from family and friends was reassurance to how well the party went :)

us. The food, cake, and music were fantastic. The staff set up the decorations the day before the wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. I could not have asked for a better experience. The staff made sure I was comfortable and worry free the whole time. I was not stressed or worried at all about u the wedding. I highly recommend using Parkway Place for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Sound by Pete Atherine III . Elizabeth and Katie were extremely helpful every step of the way, friendly, and easy to get in contact with. The hall itself is already elegant, the food was absolutely delicious and the night ran smoothly. Thank you so much again!

e start, she provided us with ideas, options, and ways to do things in a cost effective manner. Her personality was a perfect match for us and she completely took our dreams and brought them to life. We owe her so much for making our special day absolutely amazing. The food was incredible. The chef plated beautiful meals that were served quickly to our 280 guests. Everyone raved about the food. It was just perfect. The wait staff was professional, friendly, and prompt. They did things just the way we wanted. Elizabeth rallied her staff and was able to flip the Main Hall from a ceremony to a reception, with a completely different look in just a very short time. We were amazed. Absolutely incredible. The cake, DJ, and lighting vendors were on site and part of our package. Our cake was unforgettable... gorgeous and so yummy. The lighting absolutely made the day. We had soft uplighting for the ceremony and a completely different look for the reception. The DJ played the music we wanted and knew how to keep the party going. He did not do too much talking and kept everyone on the dance floor! Hats off to Memorable Creations, DJ Pete, and Ambient Effects! Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful our event was, how great the food was, and how perfect the entire day was. This says a lot about Parkway. They did not disappoint. I would be happy to talk with any bride or person planning an event at Parkway. It is sure to exceed your expectations and be wonderful. Thank you , Elizabeth and Parkway, for making our dreams come true and giving us a wedding we will never forget!

much for making our day one we will never forget! :)

ons, as well as take them down and clean up, for you, which really takes away some stress. Rachael was super helpful throughout my planning and they are very accommodating there, making sure everything is the way you want it. I also used the in house DJ, Pete, and he was awesome! Super fun to work with and played great music throughout the night. I really couldn't have asked for a better place.

ents given on house delicious the food options and great vegetarian suppliments for some of my guests. I would do my wedding all over again and not change anything with this venue. Thanks Parkway!!

ts received before, during and the meal!

the friendliness of the staff the night of the event we could not have wished for a better experience. Many thanks to Elizabeth and her staff!

t. Rachael is amazing g and set up all the centerpieces for me. Also the food is amazing and the bartenders were extremely professional and funny. I would recommend this reception site!

The kitchen staff clearly knows what they are doing. It is now weeks later and I am still hearing from our guests how delicious the appetizers were! I am not biased because it was my wedding, but that was the best meal I had ever had at a wedding! The staff did an excellent job setting up our dessert buffet display. The in-house DJ was so much fun to work with and made the night move along seamlessly. The bar and server staff all did an amazing job as well. A+ Parkway Place, thank you for the perfect wedding reception!

She genuinely cared about making our day the best it could be for us. Not only did she have wonderful recommendations, but was always available when needed. From providing us with samples and letting us come in any time to check things out, Megan truly went above and beyond to help make our day special. Megan was not the only amazing staff member at Parkway; We could not have been happier with how every encounter was, from the bar tenders to the waiters/waitresses. They were all great. Now on to the food.. It was so delicious and there were so many other delicious choices to have had. People would not stop talking about how great everything was. I love food and theirs was to die for. The venue itself is so beautiful! All of our guests were highly inpressed and commented all night about how gorgeous of a reception hall Parkway is. Their options for decor are endless, and again Megan was very helpful in this aspect. I would highly highly recommend Parkway Place for your wedding reception venue, or any other event for that matter.

beth and Rachael were wonderful to work with - easily accessible whenever needed and helpful when providing suggestions! I would recommend Parkway to anyone planning an event. The centrally located dance floor with plenty of room for tables circling helped make the environment so much more inviting for guests. There are so many venues in the Toledo area to choose from but Parkway was worth every penny! I received so many compliments on the great food and service - a big kudos goes out to the Parkway staff!!

e best place. Everyone at the hall from our wedding planner to our bartender, DJ Pete to the wait staff was phenomenal. All of my guests raved about the food and said how beautiful the hall was. It was the perfect place for a perfect day!

re thing and was readily available with answers to our questions. The onsite DJ was awesome! Our guests loved him! The onsite baker was a pleasure and the cake was yummy! We used the florist there as well. The flowers and decor was everything I asked for! I would highly recommend this venue!

rfect! She was as devoted to the details as I was, being the ever-so-meticulous bride. She went out of her way to make sure we had exactly what we wanted, even if it was a last-minute thought. We couldn't have been more pleased with Parkway Place. Bravo!

I wanted it to be. The service on the night of our wedding was to the T. I have been to many weddings, some within the same month and nothing else compares to the service and quality we received working with them. For example we had a wedding of 430+ people. Parkway served our guest food in under 30 min, our guest couldn't stop commenting on the top line service all night. We didn't want the night to end! I would recommend Parkway to anyone! We had a day to remember and a lifetime of memories! Thank you Parkway for making our day everything we could have asked for and more!

tion she was nowhere to be found- they had assigned me an "event manager" that I never heard about beforehand. Even with this event manager I felt like I had to run everything myself- not something the bride should have to do when she has a coordinator that should be assisting! When I wrote to the head of the venue about my disappointments I never received an apology. Her responses to my concerns were defensive and she made me feel like it was our fault and she felt the need to "clarify" what we didn't understand. Her words were "sometimes the coordination between the client and our staff can develop glitches" and yet she never provided an apology to these "glitches" that occurred during my reception. So if you do choose to use them, make sure they "clarify" things with you up front so you know exactly what you're getting.

is fantastic. We used their cake baker (fantastic!) and the florist associated with the venue (also fantastic!). Overall, we had such a wonderful wedding at Parkway Place. I couldn't have asked for a better place to hold our reception.

eption and everything ran SO smoothly. I did not have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy my reception! I highly recommend Parkway Place.

office hours so I knew someone would be there. We walked in and the lady there was completely rude to us. Acted like we didn't belong there and not friendly at all. Mind you we met with the same lady a month prior to look at the venue. We asked her a few questions and about possible wedding dates. She stated that the date we originally wanted was booked but she would check about the following weekend. She came back saying that it wasn't booked....but she thought she had a couple coming in the next dat to book and that she would call us if they didn't show !!!!! What???? I was there that day ready to make a payment! Completely unprofessional and rude. I was kind of glad though...made our decision that much easier. Even if they would have called and said that the couple didn't book...we would have NEVER booked after how we were treated!

feeling throughout the entire planning process. She helped me with the littlest details any bride can imagine, and was always getting back to me quickly whenever I had a question. They were extremely flexible in accommodating our needs and gave us everything we wanted. Parkway is one of the most elaborate venues in town for a large wedding.

ghly recommend!

when you book with them. They go with you from start to finish in getting everything organized). She was so easy to get into contact with, answered all of my questions (even the ones that seemed silly to me but I needed to know) and took care of so many little details which made my night SO fun and enjoyable. They even tear down your centerpieces and box up your stuff so that all you have to do is come and pick it up in the morning. We did a photo repeat banner and the staff was so great about letting us set it up. They even got us a tall ladder to use if we needed it. We didn't have everyone show to our reception so whatever food was leftover was boxed up and we took home the next day. The main room is so beautiful and perfect for weddings. I really could not have asked for better service. This very happy bride definitely recommends going with parkway--it's a no brainer if you want to actually enjoy your wedding night!!

hey took care of everything. I would highly recommend Parkway Place to anyone!

mend Parkway to everyone!

be very accurate and pay. They took care of the delivery, set up and take down. It's a great package deal and we had our ceremony & reception together. Food is ok, standard catering menu, and the service is excellent.

s that did not get beef! Also our appetizers that were to feed 500+ ran out in minutes.

at making sure everything was taken care of, planned for appropriately, and was in attendance the entire evening to assure everything was running smoothly. The menu was fantastic and the staff was incredibly professional and courteous. The vendors (music and cake) were wonderful as well! I highly recommend Parkway for your event!!

point filling drinks and ensuring safety within our venue, (Security was provided, however not needed with our wedding, but it's nice to know they are there without hesitation. We came in very organized which was complimented by all,had we not I would have been comfortable our coordinator would have handled it perfectly regardless! Staff was super friendly and prompt.Easy set up and clean up. The florist near the hall was convenient and did a great job. I could not have had a better wedding!

d was to this day and the wedding was 7 months ago!!

didn't have to lift a finger, which was also equally important to us. The venue is gorgeous, and the food was amazing. Every guest I have spoken to said it is the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The service during the wedding by the wait staff also received a lot of compliments from my guests.. I didn't hear one negative thing about our reception! They accommodated special requests for certain guests and made sure that everything was taken care of as they night ended, with all gifts, centerpieces and leftovers boxed up and ready to go. I would highly recommend this to any couple who is looking for an elegant venue that allows your personal touch and for you to actually enjoy your special day without worrying about things getting taken care of.

erything. I love having the DJ and Bakery included in the package-it made it so much easier. The food was out of this world, all of our guests were so impressed. Parkway Place made my daughters special day everything she has dreamed of. Thank You

hose the Mt. Vernon Room for our 120 guests. Elizabeth in the office was wonderful with discussing the planning process and the different package options. We went with the Premier Package which included so much and was an amazing deal. Throughout the year of planning my mom and I would stop by to see samples, ask questions, or stop to preview the hall setup for that weekends event and the staff was always more than helpful! Our wedding coordinator, Danielle, was excellent to work with and answered all of our questions, worked with our requests, and used her experience to recommended great ideas. The night of the wedding was absolutely perfect. We did a sit down meal and the service was professional and timely. We went with steak medallions and chicken marsala and they were both delicious. The linens and chair covers were gorgeous and the bows were tied to perfection! The whole place was clean and well kept. DJ Pete did a great job with the music and was very open to the personal touches we added for introductions and first dances. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Danielle and Elizabeth!!! The only thing we came across was that the food we were interested in wasn’t at the large taste testing. However, we discussed this with Danielle and she said she would call us on a night that they were serving the food so we could taste it, and that worked out perfectly!! Thank you for everything Parkway, Love Brittany and Anthony Cerasi

ng that I had hoped for. The food was delicious and everyone at my reception raved about it. Couldn't have asked for better people working at my wedding. Loved every moment of my reception!

anning, as they did all of the reception and ceremony set-up, as well as most of the decorating, and they were great at coordinating with all of our other vendors. We did have a wedding of about 110 people, so price would naturally be higher for larger parties. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

ree. When we took concerns to them, they met our needs, sometimes giving us even more more than we expected. Also, they always got back to us quickly. We were never stuck wondering about a question. I loved that they were willing to put out our centerpieces; we just had to drop things off (which we were able to do a couple days before). Our coordinator, Mandy, also set up the table with our CDs (the gift to our guests) and our cake table (because there was miscommunication with the florist and baker). I didn't even know about the cake table until my husband said something. The hall (Mt. Vernon room) looked beautiful! We had table changes up to that morning and they moved things without complaint. When I arrived, I had to wait in another room for a bit until the ceremony started, and Mandy kept me at ease. We hired 2 bartenders for the night. Right after the ceremony, I only saw one and there was a line. Another bartender was there in minutes. That was the only hiccup that night. The food was delicious. Although my husband and I did not get any of the appetizers, everyone told us they loved the brie and shrimp. The staff kept offering to bring us some while we were taking pics, but we never took them up on it. One of our entrees was cubes of filet on an asparagus spear. It was so clever! We also had the broasted chicken, parmesan red skin potatoes, and key largo vegetable blend. The blue cheese sauce was not as rich as we wanted, but I was more than happy with the food (as was my husband who is a chef), and I heard all good reviews from my guests in the weeks after. We had our cake baked by the baker associated with them, Paula. She was great to work with, and her cake was so moist and tasty. We loved that we could choose a different flavor for each layer. It was hard choosing just 3, and neither of us are cake people. (She also includes a cake at your 1 year anniversary.) We also worked with one of the DJs associated with Parkway, Pete. He played music during and after the ceremony. He was great about taking requests and keeping things moving without anything seeming rushed (pictures, dances, speeches, etc.). After the bridal couple duties, I was on the dance floor most of the night. Things went smoothly the whole time. This was my second wedding, and I wish I had had half the service the first time as I did with Parkway. I honestly can not say enough good things about the place and the people. I also know that not many people will really tell you if there were things about your wedding that they weren't happy with, or thought went badly. However, the people in my life who would be honest, had the same things to say. Parkway was a big hit with everyone. I will say, when my husband and I first checked it out, the price per person was a little higher than I thought we would spend. We really liked the hall, but we also loved that a personal cooridinator and a lot of extras were included. The little extra cost was completely worth it. Mandy, Elizabeth, Kathy (?), the chef, and the owner made us feel like we were working with family. I'm not someone who usually says things like that, but it is so true in this case.

s ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We were planning a wedding from Chicago and additionally, I was in my final year of law school which made for a hectic schedule and an even more hectic wedding to plan. Mandy made time to talk with us when we were free, meet with us when we were in town, and most importantly, she took care of everything! We literally didnt have to worry about one thing. Any questionwe had she was quick to answer. When we walked into the hall on January 7th, it was perfection. I have never been a fan of wedding food but we all had RAVE reviews from our guests on the hall AND the food. Best decision we made was choosing Parkway! We couldnt have asked for more.

at make the reception just flow wonderfully and you have nothing to worry about. Elizabeth and Danielle were a complete joy to work with and I couldn't ask for anything more. I would recommend this location to anyone!

t was the best reception food they've ever had! The hall is absolutly beautiful and very clean. We loved that we didnt have to worry about anything - they take care of it all!!!!

That is exactly what we got. We worked with Danielle starting 2 months before the party and she was the best asset to our party planning needs. Friends and family have raved about the food, the staff and the classiness of the location. Guests had a great time, food was served on time and the evening was executed exactly as I had envisioned. We will use Parkway Place again, and recommend it to family and friends looking for a professional, classy and locally run establishment for future events.

y matter. We worked with Mandy, she did a awesome job. They are expencive but worth every penny. The set everything up and took everything down. You can pick everything up on a different day. You dont have to take everything home that night.

w everything went. The staff at Parkway is so nice and very accomodating! Go with Parkway Place, you will not be disappointed :)

very possible detail was perfect! The staff at Parkway is so easy to work with. Their director, Elizabeth was a SUPER big help in making our day everything that we wanted. Food was delicious, bartenders were great, cake was awesome, big dance floor that not only we loved, but our guests loved as well; and their bridal suite was so nice to have to keep our bags in, and to freshen-up if we needed! My overall rating is without a doubt, 5 Stars and I reccomend Parkway Place to anyone! (Even those not in the area....I live almost 2 hours from Parkway Place and it was still PERFECT!) I am SO glad I was able to use Parkway Place and have such wonderful wedding memories there!

and everyone!!

facility. So many of my guests complimented the location on the food or the decor or the staff... Everyone had a great time! Be sure to clarify with the Office Staff or your Coordinator exactly what is included in your package and what is not covered. All the amenities are available, but some things (cake cutting, projector use, etc.) are at an added cost if you don't go the all-inclusive upper tier plans.

reat background for family pictures before the reception. I highly recommend this hall to anyone getting married.

ning was perfect. Food was delicious - chicken picatta, YUM! Staff was very attentive throughout the evening and the bartenders were wonderful. We had a buffet and the service was exceptional - 250 people were served very quickly! The hall itself is just classic with neutral colors if you want to add lots of details or perfect left just the way it is. The hall was set up by late Thursday afternoon which was very convenient if you wanted to sneak a peek before the big day. Obviously, I would recommend Parkway to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable experience when planning any type of event, but especially a wedding reception. I have NOTHING bad to say about our experience. They exceeded our expectations.

l and would highly recommend it to other brides looking for a place in Toledo OHio. It by far is well worth every penny and the reception was a wonderful evening with a great in house DJ (pete) and awesome cake by Paula and lots of friendly helpful staff too. Everyone who attended the reception said it was one of the best they had ever been to.

reat. Best is that they purchase alcohol from michigan...anything we did not open was returned and we got money back!We went with the premier package which included the dj and cake and they were both sooo great! It also included full length table cloths and chair covers which made the room look beautiful. This hall was even cheaper than every other hall we looked at..great value! I would 100% recommend using this hall!

of the staff, everything will go perfectly! And it was a great value for the amount of guests i have attending!

my reception) was frustrating to work with and there were many things last minute that changed/had to be fixed because nothing was written down, etc. Worst thing that happened..the DJ we met with was not our DJ for the night..and he was NOT good...but the alcohol was flowing and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The other coordinator for the hall(Elizabeth) however, was amazing to work with and helped make some things right for us after the fact. Overall I would recommend the hall, but make sure you ASK ASK ASK questions and make sure you are clear with what you want.
