George Sr. Zilba - Owner and "Everything Guy"
For over 30 years, George has been building and expanding on his dream to provide the best of the best in special event venues and he's done it all from scratch. George literally participates in every aspect of what it takes to run an event venue. From construction, to cooking, to clean up George has done it all! He has a warm and personable nature that makes him a pleasure to be around but his never resting mind means he's always cooking up a new business adventure!


Carol Zilba - Owner
Carol is George Sr. wonderful wife and one of the masterminds behind the success of Cambridge and Parkway Place. Carol is the keen eye that adds that "WOW" factor to the halls. The large arch window above the entrance, the complimentary decor, the grand piano by the fire place... Carol brings the elegance. She's very crafty too having built the arch window framing herself! As an owner, Carol certainly contributes her thoughts and calls some of the shots. She's an incredibly sweet and fun woman that you'd be lucky to meet.


George Jr. Zilba - Owner and "Everything Guy"
The Zilba men don't rest! George is just like his father, always on the go and getting things done. George is another one of the brilliant minds behind the design and construction of the Cambridge and Parkway Halls and like George Sr. he is involved in everything that happens in the halls. His business savvy allows them to continue the renovations and gorgeous additions to their buildings so that it's just a little bit different from the last time you might have been there! Its never the same experience.


Terri Mlynarek- Event Coordinator
Terri has been with Cambridge Place for 25 years and is the creative mind behind planning and decorating all the events at Cambridge. She knows these venues inside and out and just has a knack for decorating the beautiful pillars and other structures in Parkway and Cambridge. She'll decorate your head table, the dance floor, put up gorgeous ceiling swags and lights! George Sr. describes Terri as a very hard worker and she will make sure everything is set to you for your event.


Gary Hanes - Event Coordinator
For 12 years Gary has been serving the guests of Cambridge and Parkway Place. He knows the ins and outs of the hall functions and is a big sweetheart to work with! Before coming to Cambridge and Parkway, Gary worked as an event planner in Washington D.C. so he's definitely got the know-how. Another great quality about Gary is that he's always striving to improve the halls by offering suggestions and ideas based on his previous experience. So far, we listen.

There are over 5o staff members at Cambridge and Parkway place that assist in making your event perfect! They are apart of everything including, set up, cooking, clean up throughout your event and after. They've been doing this for years so they know what to look for and what needs to be done. It's because of them that the halls stay as clean and stunning as they look for every event. Did you know that sometimes, the crew will stay until 4am spot cleaning, waxing, and wiping down every part of the hall? The kitchen floor is so clean, you could eat off it! It's because of hard workers like we have here, that the venues look brand new each and every time you come. So a big thank you to our staff!
