Went to my niece’s wedding and was very impressed!

My niece had her wedding at Parkway Banquets and I was very impressed with every aspect of the day. Beautiful decorations on the chairs and tables. Impressive view of the lake and sky. Delicious food and friendly and welcoming and helpful staff from Cathy that helped with planning that beautiful day to Jerry that was making sure everyone was having the best experience! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a special event!

The most beautiful day of my life

Parkway Banquets in Ingleside IL was absolutely amazing! They took care of the food and the decorations and even most of the timing when it came to the big moments! The decorations were absolutely beautiful and the photo ops are amazing dont even get me started! They were perfect with handling our vision for the wedding and they literally brought everything to life. Jerry was wonderful and upfront with all of the charges and was a joy to talk to whenever we met up. But let me tell you about their secret (not so secret) weapon named Cathy. She was amazing and helped me plan my vision and was very attentive! She handled basically everything that was ever needed with decorations and she was so so so sweet! I love her truely shes the best! I highly recommend having a wedding here if your visions include a lake cause the sunset was literally like a chef kiss. We had about 50 people show up they accommodated for 66 and there was PLENTY of space for larger gatherings. I serious think ima plan for a babyshower here! I seriously could not have done anything without them! Also Olivia your decorating skills are amazing and everything was so so beautiful! Extremely affordable as well! I recommend this venue so so hard and all my family had an amazing time and said it was the most beautiful wedding they have every been to!

As a wedding officiant I always look forward to ceremonies at Parkway by the Lake. It's a great ceremony site and banquet hall. This budget friendly location has everything you'll need for your big day; wedding chapel set up, bridal suite, scenic lakeside locale, bar service, and much more.

We absolutely love working with the entire staff at Parkway Banquets And Catering. The service, food and attention to details is as meticulous as mine and would highly recommend them.

We have worked with Jerry on a number of wedding receptions as have served the same bridal couples. Jerry's attention to detail to ensure a smooth wedding for couples is phenomenal! He has all bases covered! He is easy to work with, accomodating and can relieve strress for brides who really have no idea of how the day should be run. His banquet facility is always clean and inviting, the buffet style food delicious and real (ie. ham is off the bone, not frozen thin strips, prime rib cut right off the bone). The newly created bride room is ablsolutely adorable and a serene sanctuary for a bride who just needs a few minutes alone. I always know that if we are heading to Parway Banquets, the wedding/reception will be a smooth one!
