Jerry and the team at Parkway Banquets were very helpful in planning our special day. Communication was mainly through email and phone which worked well to coordinate details. The venue itself was beautiful and spacious, especially for the price. On the day-of, Jerry and staff were attentive to make sure things flowed smoothly. There seems to be some miscommunication around salad selections but overall the food was great, and it was a beautiful, memorable wedding that we really enjoyed.

If there was a 6th star available, we would give it! Everything about twelve29 was AMAZING! Chris, Sara and their staff were absolutely top notch! The venue is not your typical flashy wedding venue. It's a great location in Lannon, WI. Having a uniqueness inside as well as outside. The separate rooms where you can play bags (corn hole) or just hanging around with family and friends during your cocktail hour or before the wedding starts. There is no other venue that we looked at that has an old bank vault in it! When we were looking at venues for our wedding, we walked in and immediately fell in love with it! Chris & Sara have done an amazing job making sure that all our questions and concerns were answered and they were very attentive on the day of our wedding. Chris was onsite helping to set up the buffet line, making sure that all our needs were met and even making sure that we had something to drink! He even asked my husband if he'd be interested in loaning out our archway! LOL.... Having a separate room from my husband for myself & my attendants to get ready in was a blessing! Chris & Sara really thought of everything that you could need as a Bride or Groom. The calendar does fill up quickly, so do not hesitate to book this hidden jewel in Lannon, WI. You will not regret it!

We ended up having an amazing wedding at Scenic View Country Club in October 2020. The space is nicely laid out and provides plenty of room with dance floor, huge bar and separate dining area. The wrap around porch provided nice outdoor space and would be great for cocktail hours, weather permitting. The views of the trees and green provided a great backdrop for ceremony and pictures. When COVID hit, there were a few changes in their event coordinators which made us a little nervous but once we got Clarissa a few months before our day, that all changed. Clarissa and her staff really made our day special. She was organized and great at communication leading up to our day. Planning a wedding in 2020 wasn't easy but I appreciated Clarissa's flexibility and help as we got closer. Day of, she was so helpful keeping us on track and making sure everything ran smoothly. We had some rain scheduled but still wanted to keep the ceremony outside if possible. We luckily got a window before our ceremony began and the staff was out there wiping off chairs and leaf blowing puddles so I wouldn't get my dress wet. Throughout the night, the staff continued to do an amazing job with serving dinner and keeping our guests happy! We were also very impressed with the food and heard nothing but good things from guests. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and very happy with our choice to have our special day at Scenic View!
