Park Crest Wedding

We are so happy that we picked Park Crest as our wedding venue. As a bonus we got Hayden as our wedding coordinator! She was wonderful in helping ensure all details were prepared for the wedding.

Love this venue, love Hayden!

My daughter got married upstairs in this venue, and her reception was downstairs. The food is provided on site and was absolutely delicious! The bar is also on site. For a stress free experience use this venue and hire Hayden as your coordinator. She is FANTASTIC! She met our every need, responded quickly to every question and took care of absolutely everything on the wedding day. As the mother of the bride I thought I would be so stressed that day, but because of Hayden, it was the least stress day of this entire wedding planning experience. Thank you Hayden from the bottom of my heart!

Gorgeous Venue and Amazing Staff

Park Crest is absolutely stunning inside and out! My fiance and I are having our ceremony in the gardens and our reception in the carriage house. They are very responsive and their catering options are very detailed. They also have a great rain plan if you're getting married in the garden.

Edit- Post wedding:
I cannot even begin to say enough wonderful things about Park Crest! Through the postponement of our wedding, they have been nothing but responsive, understanding, and kind to me, my fiance, and our families. Our wedding was beautiful and that is hugely thanks to their incredible staff. Daryl, the head chef, and Hayden, the manager, are both top-notch! Daryl did an incredible job of working within our budget and giving us an incredible meal that we could have never planned on our own. We had a buffet-style meal and he was able to configure a less-expensive cocktail buffet to feed our guests a huge variety of food and give them the feeling of getting a full meal. This saved us so much money and I would never have expected to be able to feed our guests beef, pork, chicken, AND huge crab cakes for what we wanted to pay! Everything is custom for you and he knocked it out of the park. Hayden worked so well with our wedding planner and she was so helpful throughout the process. I couldn't recommend Park Crest more! They have the most beautiful property and the best staff.

Utilized the smaller facility for our daughter's wedding Feb.10th, 2018, and Darryl and crew exceeded our expectations in every way! Our reception included about 120 people and in hindsight was perfect for us. The facility offered a dining room atmosphere (for the more mature guests) and a separate bar/eating area enjoyed by the younger crowd. Kind of best of two world situation. We received many compliments on quality of the food and service...again, Darryl and crew were outstanding!
Highly recommend as the Rating reflects!

Park Crest is amazing! Our daughter's rehearsal dinner and wedding was in the gardens and the reception was in the carriage house in October. This venue is gorgeous! I just can't say enough about the staff and the facility at Park Crest. Our daughter's wedding was everything we hoped it would be. Working with Daryl and Miguel was a pleasure. They were both so helpful and worked very hard to make sure that everything was perfect for our family's special day. Daryl is very detail oriented and very helpful when I needed recommendations regarding the food and setup. He made great suggestions that helped us stay on budget and have a great menu. He is an incredible chef and the food was amazing! Better than any food I have ever had at any wedding. We heard so many comments from our guests about how great the food was. You will not run out and the prices are reasonable. We also had them cater the lunches for the bridal party on the day of the wedding which was so convenient. Daryl and Miguel are easy to work with and will make your day as stress free as possible. They will definitely go above and beyond your expectations. I can't imagine a better place to have a wedding or better people to work with. I highly recommend Park Crest!

My son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner was absolutely beautiful, perfect in every way. The smaller venue was the perfect setting making our event intimate and memorable! It was the perfect start to a beautiful weekend for our special couple. The staff was fantastic, always helpful and responsive. Our family and friends were very impressed, those who live nearby as well as those from out of state/ out of country. We received numerous compliments and my son was so thrilled! Thank you for all your help! Great job to all of you!

What a great venue! The new facility has all the bells and whistles. My daughter and her fiancé were married here on May 21, 2016 and I couldn't be happier. Everything was great, especially the staff! Besides the new facility, the gardens were beautiful and a great location for the wedding photos. I could not recommend Park Crest more! You will be pleasantly surprised and your special day will be even better. Great job Kelli, Jody and Leah!

Getting married at Park Crest was the best decision we could have made. Kelli and her staff were fabulous, and made our wedding day so much fun and so stress-free. Every detail was worked out perfectly, and things couldn't have gone smoother. Our ceremony in the garden was gorgeous, and our reception inside the cozy Park Crest Place was so relaxed and created the perfect atmosphere for spending time celebrating with our friends and family. The catering was prepared beautifully, and the food was super good. We're still getting complements for how delicious the chili was that we served at the reception! Thank you for everything :)

Kelli and her staff were very attentive. It started to rain during the ceremony and she actually cried. She takes it very personally and wants the bride's day to be special. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it, great value. The Venue was beautiful and they take great care of their property. A local hotel is available to shuttle people the and from the venue, it was very convenient.
Great place to have your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
