Vivian and Ian @ Oslerbrook Golf and Country Club

Congratulations to Vivian and Ian!

A great party from the very start. A little bit of rain could not dampen this crowd’s spirits. From “Loving Cup” by the Rolling Stones to “Sexy and I know it” by LMFAO, the party did not stop.  An awesome crowd that kept gettin’ down till the wee hours of the morning.

In the words of Vivian and Ian:

“Parkside Drive is an awesome, talented band that really got everyone up on the dance floor and having a blast. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a real shaker of a wedding.”

Special thanks to Vivian and Ian for letting Parkside Drive be a part of their special day.

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree with Agnico-Eagle Mines

Another fantastic Parkside Chistmas party, we are truly blessed this year.

We were contacted by Agnico to perform at their annual holiday bash on two conditions. Firstly, the guests must dance!, and secondly the Agnico house band would be allowed to perform a set.   We were of course more than happy to oblige, and to perform at the stunning One King West

Well, we danced all night, and Agnico’s group were incredible! Everyone had a ball from the swingin’ cocktail trio, featuring the Parkside Trio, to  the fantastic dinner.  After a fantastic dinner, Parkside hit the stage and the dance floors were packed.   Once our break started, George and the boys from Agnico wowed the crowd with some fantastic classic rock and roll.

An incredible night all around.  A big thanks to Virginia, George and all the other great people at Agnico-Eagle Mines.

Happy Holidays everyone!
