“We’ve hosted a lot of events, and The Parklands has by far been the easiest to work with, the most accommodating and our favorite venue. The rates were great, the vendor options are expansive and diverse, and the logistics could not have been easier. It was important for us to pick a location that set a beautiful scene and could also handle food and drink for more than 100 people. We found that and more by booking with The Parklands.”
– Brad Luttrell, Cofounder & CEO, GoWild
