Real Couple Testimonials
Parker Run Vineyards is an exceptional venue for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. While the facilities themselves are beautiful and well-maintained, it is the owners and staff who truly set this place apart. Their professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made our experience unforgettable. Thanks to their accommodating nature, we now have lasting memories of a truly perfect day. We wholeheartedly give Parker Run the highest possible recommendation.
Parker Run Vineyards was the perfect choice for our wedding! My husband and I fell in love with the beautiful scenery, but what truly made it unforgettable was how welcoming and helpful the owners were—especially Jackie, who went above and beyond from start to finish. The Brooder House was a stunning space for getting ready, and our ceremony under the white awning overlooking the lake was absolutely magical. We danced the night away in the Big Red Barn, and everything felt like a fairy tale. Our guests loved it, and I still get compliments! I can’t recommend Parker Run enough—you’ll get amazing service, stunning photo ops, and memories to last a lifetime.
My heart is so full, what a blessing it was to have had our wedding at Parker Run Vineyards. Jackie, Brian and Camille were so welcoming and kind we felt like family. The location is a dream, it was truly a breath taking experience. Not one detail was forgotten. My husband was in the Marine Corps for 10 years so Jackie offered to hang American flags in the venue. This was truly a 5 star experience. Thank you for providing beautiful memories for our wedding day!
