Corporate events are welcome.  Utilizing the park for a corporate event focused on team building or fostering creativity offers a refreshing and inspiring alternative to traditional indoor venues.  Take advantage of the Park to encourage team bonding and camaraderie through a variety of interactive games and activities (Baseball field, volleyball, horseshoes, cornhole, the activities are endless). For a smaller team collaboration or brainstormingsession, consider the Paradise Pavilion.

At Palace Park, we host only one event per day so each gathering can enjoy complete privacy and a relaxed experience in the Park.  Because of this, reservations include access to the entire 26 acre property rather than individual spaces. 

While many  Guests naturally gather at the pavilion, the surrounding grounds and pavilions become part of the experience – offering flexibility, beautiful scenery, and room for guests to explore and celebrate comfortably throughout the day.

If you are hosting a smaller event, we do have a creekside Pavilion (hosting up to 30) across the creek as well as the option to include the newly renovated house adjacent to the Paradise Pavilion for additional space. This includes use of the kitchen, sunroom, game room, and large covered deck.  Rental of this space also requires event insurance.

At Palace Park, every gathering is special to us.  Weddings are truly a one-of-a-kind celebration that require a different level of preparation and care.

Unlike general events, wedding typically include a ceremony, reception, vendor coordination, extended access to the property, and detailed timelines that involve many moving parts throughout the day.  Out wedding package is thoughtfully designed to provide the additional time and preparation needed so couples, families, and guests can fully relax and enjoy a seamless and meaningful celebration at the Park.  

We want to ensure you feel relaxed and unhurried on your special day at Palace Park. Wedding packages include a generous 10 hour rental time period (with a 6 hour event time) between 9 AM – 11:00 PM on the day of the event.  If there is no other event, you also have the option to add-on additional time the day before or after your Event for set up and final clean up.
