Everyone says their caterer was the best but they are all wrong. Parsons is hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Crystal was extremely attentive and professional throughout the entire process, the team was flexible and creative with offering different solutions for vegetarians and came up with an amazing signature cocktail for us. Their staff was literally the friendliest, most attentive wedding staff I’ve ever worked with, and I am a wedding planner! And seriously, the food was unbelievable. So many compliments from guests who appreciated having delicious food rather than your standard wedding food.

I cannot rave about parsons enough! I will be using them for future events, no questions asked.

Hosting my event with Parson's was excellent from start to finish! Crystal was easy to communicate with and on the night of the party, Gabby and the team were so flexible and answered every question. The food, to no surprise, was excellent. I also feel like Parson's does an amazing job giving you a lot of chances to personalize the menu, the signage, etc. So glad I booked with Parson's, a Chicago must-venue!

Parsons was the best venue we could possibly ask for to celebrate our wedding. In addition to having some of the best food and drinks Chicago has to offer, the communication and coordination between us, our family, and the venue staff was fully on point, which considering this was a large (190 person) wedding, was quite a task to pull off. Having worked over a decade in the hospitality industry myself, I tend to be aware of the finer details that can make or break an event such as this, and I can say with confidence the staff at Parson's pulled everything off flawlessly, making the best night of our lives something extra special. Crystal Wells was our main point of contact in navigating the logistics at the venue. She offered us two separate walkthroughs of the space, and handled communication and logistics leading up to the wedding with urgency, professionalism, and a genuine desire to ensure all the finer details of the evening were taken care of. At the wedding, she even kindly reminded us newlyweds to take a break from making our rounds at dinner to eat some food (it can easy to forget when all your friends and loved ones are all gathered together in one place). For those of you in the process of planning a wedding, you've probably heard how stressful it can be. While our planning was stressful, I can't imagine what it would have been like without the support of Crystal in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She took every opportunity to take work off our hands address minor details on her end. She even worked with the building managers to help us install a temporary disco ball for the dance floor. I could go on and on, but I'll just leave you with the assurance that if you choose Parson's as your wedding/event venue, you will have the freedom to really enjoy yourself while you're at your own party! Thanks again, and looking forward to coming back to Parson's for years to come.
