Laurel Manor

I had Laurel Manor for my June 2010 reception and have no regrets. This place was above and beyond my expectations. The closer it became to that one special day everyone was so helpful. I would call my contact quite a bit for anything and everything and she was right there with me every step of the way. Their willingness is amazing. I booked this venue about 1.5 yrs in advance and when I booked they gave me a vendor recommendation booklet. Best thing ever. I pretty much used that booklet to choose my other vendors, ex: Flowers by Renee. Best flower shop around.The #1 compliment we heard afterwards was the food was amazing. Best food they have had at a wedding. We went with the chicken picatta, roast beef carved, bowtie alfredo and veggies, buffet style. I highly recommend Jennifer.

By far the best price within our budget. They were willing to help you out whenever possible and went out of their way to make your day special. The deals they gave us surpassed anywhere else. Great food. If someone went home hungry they were crazy!! Couldn't have asked for a better staff in helping me plan my big day.

Laurel Manor was an awesome place to have an event. They were very nice and made sure we as the B&G were well taken care of. The set up was absolutely beautiful!

Great food. Great service.

We were extremely happy with our service at Laurel Manor. Deirdre, Millie, and the rest of the staff were willing to bend over backwards for us! Plus, they have the best food! We really recommend the combination platter of chicken picatta and filet mignon, with the anna potatoes and green beans almondine. People are still raving about the food at our reception! We were also very happy with the vendors we used off of their Preferred Vendors list (Millenium Limo and Silver Sounds DJ). Some people may be turned off by the location of Laurel Manor - it's just off the freeway, on a service drive, and there's just a big parking lot around the building. But what it lacks in outdoor photographing opportunites, it makes up for in value, service, and indoor photographing opportunites. There's a beautiful winding staircase and lobby area. And there are gorgeous chandeliers in the actual rooms, as well as balconies in some of the rooms. Yes, I'm saying rooms ... in the plural. Again, this might be a point that could scare some people off, thinking that they're event will be disturbed by a neighboring room. Well, there was a high school reunion going on in the room right next to our wedding, but we never once heard their DJ or had any problems with other guests. Laurel Manor is very well organized, they keep things on schedule, and most of all, they want to make sure the bride and groom have FUN on their big day! Laurel Manor made planning my wedding reception easier than I ever could have imagined.

The staff was very friendly and very thorough and patient with answering questions. The were very professional and extremely helpful with helping me to understand all the small details that needed to be decided on (Do you have someone to give a blessing at dinner?). They have a beautiful stairwell in the main entrance which is great for pictures, as well as wonderful food. I appreciated that you can have your event smoking, or smokers are welcome to use the smokers bar if you'd prefer. There are many nice amenities that Laurel Manor provides.

Laurel Manor is a nice place that handles a lot of different aspects of the wedding. They did our cake, which was splendid. The food was great (get the Italian dinner, it's worth the price and it's the best thing they offer). Their packages include open bar, cake, gratuity so everything is in one nice easy price. It took a lot of pressure and stress off.The only thing I didn't like is that they made you cut the cake before dinner starts. You could choose to allow smoking or not, and they had a full bar where people could go and pay for drinks you weren't offering and have a smoke. This did not work out in our favor because it happened to be the night when the Tigers were winning the game that got them to the world series. Everybody was in the bar because there was a TV in there.

We wanted only 8 to a table and they did it! 10 is way to many!!
