What couples say again and again
“The venue itself is just breathtaking, especially in the spring, but our big day would not have been able to run as smoothly as it did without Wayne and MaryAnn.”
“They are also very clear about how their services work, what’s included, what is allowed, when services need to be paid, and how services will be done day of.”
From the reviews
I will forever be grateful to MaryAnn and Wayne for working with Mario and I. We went from a dream of a big wedding to a tiny wedding due to the pandemic. Our wedding was April 17, 2021 and everything turned out beautifully. Thank you always MaryAnn and Wayne for working with Mario and I.
Short Review: HIGHLY recommended! More detail: This venue is one of the most professional venues you can come across. Extremely organized to help make sure you as the Bride and Groom have the most amazing, relaxing, and incredible wedding you could ever hope for or imagine.
We had our DREAM wedding at Park Place last month!! Wayne and MaryAnn always made themselves available to meet with us to discuss details and were very knowledgeable and helpful with every aspect of the planning.
Park Place Special Events came to my rescue when my wedding was canceled in Vegas last minute. Mary Ann was amazing and made sure to be available to me at all times to plan the wedding with such short notice.
Getting married at Park Place Banquet Hall
Park Place Banquet Hall comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Park Place Banquet Hall
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Park Place Banquet Hall — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
