    Everyone ALWAYS has fun at Parson's

    A day at Parsons is always a great day; this is why we chose to have our wedding at Parsons, and they did not disappoint. Coordination leading up to the day of was easy, accommodating and responsive, Crystal was the best to work with! Service the day of went off without a hitch, staff was amazing and the space looked STUNNING! Guests remarked that the food was the best they have had at a wedding. We had so much fun and the day was smooth and worry free- couldn't have asked for anything more! And we even got to pick retired slushies to serve to our guests!

    Simply the best!

    We loved having our wedding celebration at Parsons. Crystal and the rest of the staff were amazing to work with. The event went off without issues and it was just the coolest, most laid back but fun atmosphere. Not to mention, the amazing food and slushies. Everyone had a great time! I would highly recommend Parsons for any type of private event.

    Parson's Chicken and Fish's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words, Sophie! We had an absolute blast hosting you and it was an honor to be a part of such a special day!

    Fantastic!!

    I organized my husband's surprise birthday party at Parsons in Logan Square. From day zero, the staff was nothing but helpful, friendly, and accommodating. On the day of the party, the food and drinks were extraordinaire, and the in site personnel was extremely nice and helpful. I will highly recommend organizing a party at Parsons!!!
