In addition to its upscale setting and excit- ing ambiance, Parx offers many special event spaces. “The private event space located off the thrilling casino floor is an ideal area for your smaller meetings, cock- tail parties or dinner functions,” says Nork Minelli. “This space can accommodate groups of up to 100 guests. Parx Grill, an upscale signature restaurant, is an exquis- itely designed venue for an intimate din- ner or group celebration with high-end menu options and superior sit-down serv- ice, and is perfect for bridal showers, birthday events and corporate luncheons, accommodating groups up to 70 people. If nightlife action is more your desire, 360 is where it all happens. 360 is a sleek bar and lounge that turns into a nightclub after dark with live entertainment. This ultra-hip venue can hold up to 350 guest for dancing, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.”
Parx East, which is adjacent to Parx Casino, features additional event spaces. “Parx East has several catering rooms overlooking the handsomely landscaped Parx racing grounds. The third and fifth floors feature private rooms boasting backdrops of Neshaminy Park’s rolling hills and Parx natural outdoor environ- ment. The Cotillion room, located on the ground level, offers a truly unique experi- ence of up-close and personal live racing action. This room is perfect for business meetings and smaller functions, accom- modating up to 80 guests. Parx East also offers a grand outdoor location for sea- sonal events of up to 1,000.”
Within all the Parx event spaces, Parx catering has abundant menu options for custom designing a special event. “Breakfast items or brunch menus are great for early day business meetings or
shower events,” notes Nork Minelli. “For dinner meetings, reunions or celebratory events, book a sit-down dinner or a spe- cially themed buffet to impress your guests. A cocktail party featuring an action station with one of our culinary professionals can really spice up your party. Or keep it casual with passed signa- ture
cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
Whatever your inspiration and request may be, let Parx create the perfect special event just for you.”
