Beautiful Venue

The venue is gorgeous! Very little decor needed for Atrium wedding ceremony! Had our reception on the roof and it was beautiful.

Ultimate Luxury

Before our backyard wedding, I went to the Parkside Spa with my mum to get mani/pedis. They are always so welcoming and professional and this time was no exception. Because their cleanliness standards are already so high you can feel safe visiting during COVID-19, and you won't miss out on much of the pampering. We felt very relaxed and ready to celebrate my big day!

The staff at Parkside was great. We also had the pleasure of dealing with Chelsea and Kevin as well as the day-of event staff. Their experience with weddings really showed and made ceremony setup and planning a breeze. The rooftop gardens were great and we got super lucky with the weather--sunny and not windy at all. Our guests loved the hotel where each suite comes with a real kitchen and living space--great for spending time with family and friends over the weekend. If we had to do it again, we would definitely be at Parkside.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Kevin Moloney of the Parkside Hotel Event Team. He was more than attentive, responsive and cooperative with our last minute changes. The venue was gorgeous and needed minimal decorations. Kevin was flexible and accommodating when it came to viewing the venue and answered all of our questions quickly and efficiently. This is a stunning and unique location where you get the outdoor feel without the worry of poor weather.
