Carved out with ropes and stanchions, a reserved section is comprised of lounge seating, standing highboys and mingling space. These semi-private sections are allocated according to guest count. You will have dedicated serving staff taking care of all of your food and beverage needs throughout the event.
The food and beverage minimum is a contracted spend that you must reach over the course of your event. All food and beverage ordered for the event will go towards meeting this minimum. If you do not reach the minimum spend, you will be charged for it; if you exceed the minimum spend, you will pay the actual balance of your bill according to what has been ordered.
Our food is presented reception style on large platters akin to an elegant garden party. We are unable to accommodate a seated dinner at The J. Parker. Drinks are seasonal, light and breezy. You may either select a bar package suited to the nature of your event or offer a consumption bar for your guests.
The J. Parker’s outdoor Atrium space is enclosed by a fully retractable glass roof. The roof can open or close in under 90 seconds to accommodate changing weather. Your event will take place rain or shine and we will not accept cancellations due to inclement weather.
For an exclusive event at the J. Parker, you may either buyout the outdoor Atrium space (max 125 guests) or the entire rooftop (max 225 guests). Food and beverage minimums for Atrium Buyouts or Full Buyouts are dependent on the date and time frame of your event, at the discretion of the J. Parker’s events team.
