Erika and Denise were wonderful! They helped our daughter and son in law orchestrate a fun summer wedding celebration. Being from Indianapolis, we wondered how it would be planning an out of state wedding that our family, friends and Keri and Aaron's family and friends could all enjoy. It turned out remarkably well...from the weather, to the Buffalo Gals Barbecue, to the flowers from Lori, photos from Patrick and DJ duo Scott and Laurie. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, professional venue. Everytime I called, Erika & Denise were very responsive and helpful. I LOVED Villa Parker and would highly recommend them to any bride! You will have great memories for a lifetime!

This venue is just incredible. We live in north Denver but decided to get married in Parker because of the venue. Great value for the price - you get 12 hours, and no one else will be married there the same day. They were so helpful, even taking on tasks to help me on the wedding day that they were not obligated to do. I didn't have a wedding planner so they really helped me through the time-line, and helped me stay on point. I can't imagine a better experience - REALLY! We also had a change in situation 3 weeks prior to the wedding and the were so flexible, and walked us through everything. The venue is gorgeous, and they plant their own flowers so I even saved money on that. I can't say enough about them - everything was just perfect with their help.

We found the Villa Parker to be abosolutely beautiful. My daughter's mind was made up for her wedding venue as soon as she saw the Villa. I can't say enough good comments about the quality of service and accomodations provided by the staff!!! What could have been a truly devastating event (bride had the stomach flu) went very smoothly and was truly beautiful. This was due to the staff being very attentive to my daughters needs and they were truly concerned. It was their professionalism that kept all of us calm and and ready to proceed with the evening. If you are looking for a beautiful and successful event YOU have to go with the Villa Parker. Trudy Gordy

Our day was absolutely perfect thanks to the creativity, support, and responsiveness throughout the whole wedding planning process of Erika and Molly. All of our friends and family keep telling us how beautiful they thought the venue was...romantic and fun! Thanks again!Love, Robin & John Husband

The staff of Villa Parker put together a wedding that was the most amazing experience of a lifetime. I had a great time and I know that my guests all had a great time as well. The venue was gorgeous and I couldn't have asked for anything more!

Wow!!! I fell in love with the Villa the moment I stepped into the courtyard. But when I walked in, it took my breathe away. Somewhere between Italian and costal influences, the Villa gave me my dream wedding, with the man of my dreams of course. They have only been open two months "officially" but what they have been able to build is perfect, quiet, exclusive, and sooo classy. Thank you Erika, we look forward to our vow renewal, in a couple of years. Oh, and our cordinator, Jennah at Events Extrodinaire... She is AMAZING!!! Made the entire experience exactly what it should have been, what I thought it would be and what I have dreamed of since I was little.

We visited many sites for our wedding reception but there was only which stood out above the rest. I knew Villa Parker was "the place" for our reception the minute I walked in the door. Villa Parker is a beautiful, private venue where we were able to celebrate with our guests in an intimate setting. It also has amazing views of the Front Range. We fell absolutely in love with it! It's very unique and different from any other reception site in the Denver area. All the planning went so smoothly working with Erika. Erika and Joe went above and beyond with our requests. They were so flexible and listened to our needs and wants for our special day. I didn't have to worry about anything leading up to the wedding. We arrived at the reception and everything was more than we could have imagined. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. In our opinion, Villa Parker is the best wedding (or ANY event) site we've ever visited. Thank you, Erika and Joe, for making our day so special.

The Villa Was a Beautiful site and we are SOO happy that we decided to have our wedding there! The staff was wonderful and so helpful leading up to and the day of our wedding. The grounds were beautiful and a wonderful place for photos! All of our guests loved it. I have lived in Parker most of my life and never know the Villa was there until a friend told us about it. We were able to go look, and book our reception very easily and Joe and Erika were fabulous! We had the most wonderful day we could have imagined!

This venue is absolutely beautiful. It's charming and has a ton of personality! It was the perfect size for my wedding of 80 people. Erika, the event coordinator/owner is extremely professional, knowledgeable and attentive. I could not have pictured my wedding any more perfect than it was at the Villa!

Villa Parker provided a beautiful backdrop for my day! Erika was wonderful to work with and really worked hard to make my day special. The open house nights that Villa sponsors really are awesome. Once a month they host an event where they invite one of their preferred caterers and other vendors they work with. The caterer serves a full meal and the villa is dressed up. Makes it super easy to see what your event would be and to meet other vendors without a lot of pressure. Wonderful day!

Villa Parker is the perfect venue for elegance, intimacy, and class. The building is beautiful and offers a unique setting, large enough for a few hundred if needed but small enough to feel as though you can relax and be yourself. It is surprisingly condusive to a spectrum of desired atmospheres, from cozy backyard wedding to elegant gala.While I would have hoped for quicker email responses in the early months, Erika was very responsive and extremely attentive and helpful closer to the day of the wedding. Molly did a great job of helping us plan our other vendors in our budget and according to what we were looking for.The day of the wedding, Erika and Molly worked tirelessly to set everything up perfectly. I was able to relax and take a huge breath before the wedding and I didn't have to micro-manage or do a thing myself. A few details were forgotten which was frustrating afterwards but overall the day was amazing and perfectly memorable thanks to their hard work.My only warning with using the Villa is that they, with no exceptions, require clients to choose between a select few Caterers, Photographers, and Alcohol vendors. These vendors tend to be pricey and the Alcohol vendor was completely incompetant, so the investment in Villa Parker is higher than originally expected.With that said, my wedding was absolutely a dream come true and Villa Parker comes closer to perfection than I believe any other venue could. I would highly recommend it for any type of wedding.

Villa Parker was a beautiful, unique venue to host our wedding. The indoor-outdoor flow is perfect for Colorado weather and creates a comfortable space for guests. Plus, the bridal suite is great for getting ready pre-ceremony. The owners are extremely hands-on and friendly -- they clearly love this property and sharing it with brides and grooms-to-be.

Villa Parker is a beautiful venue for any occasion.Joanna Bailey, the coordinator at Villa Parker is a true asset. She and her staff worked very hard to make all our dreams for our wedding day come true. She was very calming for me the day of my wedding and took care of every detail. She made me and my husband feel very special with nothing to worry about the day of our wedding.Erika, the owner can come across as abrasive at times, however she has a very good heart.Be aware at this venue there is not much flexibility when hiring vendors, as they must be on the approved vendor list from Villa Parker.Overall, our wedding was amazing and beautiful and a dream come true at Villa Parker.

We absolutely loved our reception at Parker Villa! It was absolutely beautiful and Erika and Joe were so kind and did everything we asked. Molly was wonderful to work with on the day of and made sure we had everything we needed. Our guests stayed and stayed and enjoyed the ambiance that Villa Parker offers. My only complaint is that they didn't have the drive plowed and cleared so it was an icy drive. The horse and carriage we hired was not able to be used since the drive was not plowed and was icy. Other than that, it was great. My daughter said it was the perfect venue for the reception of her dreams! Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing Villa Parker. Joe and Erika are awesome!

My husband and I loved Villa Parker! We immediately fell in love with it the first time we went there to visit. It's quite expensive, but we felt that the atmosphere was worth the extra budgeting we would have to do. The bridal room is gorgeous and huge compared to other venues we checked out. The bathroom is definitely big enough to have your bridal party's hair and makeup done there. And the grounds are spectacular! I also loved that they only do 1 wedding a day, so you never feel like you're being shuffled around another bride and her big day. The planning process could have been better though. Our consultant quit half way through and we felt like the owners didn't do that great a job of checking in with us and seeing if everything was going well or if we needed help with anything. I would completely recommend having the "planning" meeting earlier than 3 months out. Because of our schedules, we actually didn't have ours until about 1.5 - 2 months out. We were completely stressed before the planning meeting, but felt better afterwards. There were a lot of things that I learned about during that meeting that would have been nicer to know earlier, such as the venue had sparklers to use at the end of the ceremony if I wanted, that you had to pay an additional amount to rent their china, and that they would handle all of the set up and tear down. Some of these items had been implied, but nothing was confirmed until the meeting. (Be careful of the additional costs that tend to come up after you've already paid the venue fee. Make sure you completely understand the contract and don't be afraid to ask seemingly simple questions). Overall, our wedding was a huge success and we feel like Villa Parker had a big part in that! PS - they do once a month tastings where some of their preferred vendors come, give out samples, and info. It's a great time to meet other vendors if you're still looking! I went several times just to enjoy the food and see Villa Parker in the different seasons with varying decorations.
