Parkway West-thoughts?

Does anyone know anything about Parkway West in Shawnee? Their web site is very vague when it comes to details and prices.
Thanks!

We are having our reception there. We were originally having our wedding this October 2, but are expecting so we changed our date to March 26, 2011 and they were very easy to work with on that. It is the cheapest venue we could fine that matched what we were looking for. It is much prettier in person! They painted the ceilings all black and it gives it a real romantic feel (the pics are old on the website). You can bring in your own caterer (we are using Hy-Vee and they have worked with them numerous times so I feel it will go smoothly), there drink options are great prices (I will find the sheet and attach it), they have a dj you can use that they say is really good, but my FI family has a tradition thtat they have the same dj play at all the weddings cause he is so good, so they took off so much for not using their dj (there dj is a really good deal though!) It is perfect for a wedding no larger than 200. The bathrooms are really nice too!

What else do you want to know?

Sorry this is so long but I couldn't figure out how to add this attachment , so I copied and pasted. How do you add an attachment on here? These prices may have changed since I got this in 2009...not sure.

Thanks for the great info! This place is reasonable in price. We're having less than 100 guests on a Saturday, but maybe they would be flexible. I really appreciate the info!

Congrats on the upcoming wedding and addition to your family!

Janelle21 · April 2010

I am sure they will! I just don't think a really large wedding of over 200 would fit very well

Thanks and good luck to you too!

Thanks for posting this! We currently have the barn at Alexander Majors House booked for our reception, but I can't stop worrying about trying to get it decorated before the wedding and then getting it cleaned up after the reception, and I don't think there is enough room in it to have a dance floor. This sounds like a great alternative (price wise) and looks like a beautiful site.
