Laurel Manor Banquet & Conference Center

Amazing venue. Everything was beautiful and they worked with us to allow us to come in early and set up our centerpieces and decorations. Would recommend Laurel Manor and Diedre to anyone planning not only a wedding reception but any event. We have received nothing but compliments about the food that was served. It was awesome. Thanks.

They staff at Laurel Manor was absolutely amazing to work with! Deirdre and Laila made the planning process so easy and were able to respond so quickly to any of our questions and concerns. We had both our ceremony and reception there and everything went by smooth. The only reason I wouldn't give them all 5s is the pricing for some things. It would have been nice to get linens and chair covers through them instead of going through an outside vendor but their pricing was so much more than competitors. Also, their prices for apps were a little steep so we had to settle with just fruit and veggies due to budget constraints. But the food we did get was delicious! And the servers were so responsive to any need! It was overall a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone!

Very nice place and the people are very nice. Reception went smoothly. Laurel Manor was flexible in our dinner choices as we combined both food from them and an indian catered restaurant. Worked with us to make everything go smoothly

The whole day was wonderful. All our guests were full of praise for Hall. All of your attention to detail made the reception run so smoothly. Very many thanks.

They kept interrupting us during pictures (annoying) but everything looked and tasted wonderful. They also told us they would set up our place cards and such so we drove out there the day before to drop it off, and then decided they never said that (waste of 2 hours) but, it was beautiful!

The whole atmosphere was beautiful. The food was delicious. I paid to upgrade some menu items. For instance, I had their famous roasted eggplant soup, and the antipasto selection, just to name a few. I have people still talking about my reception!! Also, Brittany was an amazing help. She really cared about me. She insured that I would have my dream wedding!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Laurel Manor was one of the few places I looked at that didn't seem to be "tricking" me into purchasing things that I did not want to purchase. The room was beautiful! They supplied the linens and centerpieces but their chair covers were really expensive, it was cheaper to get them elsewhere. Even though there were other weddings going on in the other banquet rooms you couldn't hear them. The food was seriously the best wedding food I EVER had! Especially the ham! One of the only things I did not like is they did not guide us very well in what the "entrance" was supposed to be like... we didn't know how to cut the cake properly! Make sure you are aware of how to do it before everyone is watching you! :) Overall, GREAT experience with Laurel Manor!

I had my reception in Laurel Manor's Aspen Room and I was very satisfied! My correspondence via email and phone was almost always returned within two business days. We signed up for one of their excellent wedding promotions that allowed us to include a number of items without extra cost: champagne toast for all, one free appetizer, late night pizza station, and it decreased the price per person by a few dollars. This made the whole package an extremely high value for not an extremely high cost.

The room without decorations looks like it could be very "blah," but that was not so after the room was decorated. I had the chance for a sneak peak before flowers and lighting were delivered, and it had already transformed the room! With the brightly-colored linens and place settings the room was beautiful. After the flowers and lighting, it was a dream.

The food was delicious. I wish I had had time to eat more of it! The bartenders delivered drinks to my husband and me whenever it looked like we were getting low. Talk about service!

Really the only negative comment I have is that the reception rooms have no windows. It would be nice to have some natural light, but as it turns out the lighting we asked for helped me forget there were no windows.

This is an excellent venue for your wedding reception. I highly recommend it.

I had my wedding reception here on May 28,2011 and it was absolutely perfect!! I got so many compliments about the how great the food was, the table settings and how smooth everything went! I can't say enough great things about this place! This was the one area of the wedding planning that went perfect! I had no problems at all! Brittney was awesome with all the planning and we even got a bigger room which was great! Thank you so much for making my wedding day so memoriable and making our special day perfect!!

My husband and I had both our ceremony and reception at Laurel Manor. Everything was perfect. They set up everything for us and make great suggestions all throughout the planning process to make sure our day was as perfect as we wanted it to be. Deidre was our salesperson and she was amazingly attentive, professional and very responsive from the first day we met her. Thank you Laurel Manor - everything was AWESOME! Both our families and guests were really impressed with the venue and the food. The food was great!

I wasn't totally happy with my wedding, But I guess It was as good as it got! I had the Manor from 3pm til 9pm, and at 7 30 pm the staff started coming in there turning on the lights, and then started cleaning up. That really offended us. My husband and I left our food at the table due to being to busy asked that we keep our food up there. Well I go back to grab a bite and it was gone, I was told that it was put up for me, Well I was well okay, I will eat later, I open durning my honey moon to see it wasn't the food I had. I had a weddng planner, and I told the caption to ask her all questions it took me going to my wedding planner and saying something before anything took place. I guess they should really work on some things.

Very professional, nice staff, beautiful setting, wonderful environment and affordable

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 is amazing...Our guests were speechless by the quality and amount of food they received at our wedding! The staff is also very friendly and nice to work with: not pushy, but rather accommodating. We have some last minute issues that were resolved with professionalism and always made my wife and I feel very comfortable.

Haven't had the reception yet... but can't wait! It's a beautiful location and the staff has been very helpful and supportive!!

Overall the service was fantastic. We received so many compliments regarding the food and service. The food was both high quality and very yummy!!! I had a minor issue a few days before the wedding when our sales rep. called to tell us that they had to change our dinner time to 30' later. We went back and forth, but they immediately compromised and made only a 5' adjustment to the time and added free hors d’oeuvres for our guests.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
