The Laurel Bell Event Center (formerly Bell's Banquets)

te nor smiled one time. very uncomfortable feeling. had a very dry personality.

place is everything you could want without spending an arm and a leg! Its family owned and operated. They set everything up for us and tore it all down! Our tables chairs and linens and table skirting was all included! There are 2 holiday Inns within 10 min of the reception venue as well as other hotels but that is where we had our room blocks and no one got lost to or from Bells. The food was AMAZING and we are still getting raving comments about it! They loved the staff and having an open area and open bar kept the party all central! We loved it at first sight and still get TONS of compliments for having our reception there! You won't be disappointed!

tion they set up A LOT of the decorations (which is a huge load off a bride and her family!), and the price was SO reasonable compared to other places and especially for how much they include!! I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the people who work there. I had no idea what i was doing and they just guided me and took care of almost everything on the day :-) I have and will continue to highly recommend them for anyone whose wedding is under 200 people out in Mt Pleasant! Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day perfect!!!

tressful, from planning to cleaning up. Beyond that, it just felt like the perfect place for a wedding. The food was AMAZING and portions are huge. Packages are all very affordable and include an open bar. The space is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and comfortable - we were slightly nervous to book before we had a chance to see it in person, but it looks exactly as it does online and we had no regrets. I will warn that it books up early (as most good venues do)! Highly recommend. Tip - if you do have your wedding here try taking pictures at Jacob's Creek park nearby :)

liday weekend, and we were not able to help decorate due to another party the night before, but I was able to write out exactly what I wanted and Ian and his staff were able to make our picture perfect wedding dreams come true. They also accommodated different requests for alcohol preferences as well as when things needed to dropped off last minute.

8th, and we couldnt come in and decorate because of it. However; after discussing exactly what I wanted with Ian, him and his team set every thing up perfectly. My reception was 100% worry free. I would recommend Bells to any bride. Oh, also the most amazing steak I've ever had!

venue was nice and helpful. We loved everything about our special day! Most important, it was affordable!

ved about the food and Ian was great about making our whole dinner gluten free as me and some guests have food allergies!! Everything was amazing and the day was a complete dream!!

r opinions needed. The atmosphere was amazing, bartending was staffed fabulously and no one waited for drinks. Most importantly the food through them was amazing and I've yet to hear anyone speak differently. We are so blessed to have chosen this venue because they truly go above and beyond on everything for you. Bell's partner's with most of the big time DJ's and vendors so setup and accuracy are always flawless. Thanks again Ian and team for a wonderful night and sharing your beautiful venue and being there for us every step of the way!

ght of. All I had to do was drop off my stuff and they set up it up beautifully. They couldnt have made it better or simple! Thank you so much Bells!!

do something for the ceremony or reception, his reply was, "Sure, you can do whatever you want." He wasn't joking though! He let us make the wedding of our dreams come true! We held both the ceremony and the reception at Bell's and it is a gorgeous space for both! The staff was amazing - they took care of putting everything together, everyone was served very quickly, and the bar was great! And the price - we looked around for other barn venues in the Pittsburgh area and you cannot beat these prices!! With everything that is included (venue, food, bar, staff), they are the best deal around. The food was fantastic, and we only went with the simple buffet - but they have many packages to choose from. All in all, we had a blast, Ian and his staff made everything seamless, and I am still getting compliments on how beautiful everything was!! Stop looking at other venue's - go with Bell's!!

uests absolutely loved it! Ian was so helpful and was there to answer every question we had along the way. He and his staff set up all of our decorations before we arrived and the place looked even more beautiful than I had expected. I had so many friends and family come up and tell me how impressed they were with the food, the staff, and the venue overall. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Anyone looking for a rustic venue in Pittsburgh...this is the place to go!

erything was perfect for us. Everyone raved about the amazing food, it was phenomenal! They were even raving about the appetizers! I am just so pleased that we choose Bells for our reception and our wedding pictures are so rustic, just like we wanted. I wish there were more stars I could have given!!! Thanks a billion for an amazing wedding day!!

ct! The food was phenomenal. My family and friends are still raving about it! Ian was wonderful to work with during the planning stages as well. He was always quick to respond to my questions and thorough in his answers. The pricing is straightforward and worth every single penny. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone!

the rustic yet classy feel of the barn as well as the food. Our guests mentioned it was the best 'wedding food' they have ever had! Ian and his staff make everything run seemlessly and are very efficient. Ian is wonderful to work with in the planning period as well! We would highly recommend Bell's for anyone looking for a truly unique and beautiful reception venue.

re very accommodating. Ian was very timely in answering all questions I had leading up to the big day. Food was FANTASTIC! Beautiful and perfect for such a special day!

and one of the few heated barns in the area (had the reception in January). Ian was so great to work with, always answering my questions in a timely manner and helping out with the little set up we had to do. I can't thank him enough for all of his help - he made the whole process simple. The pricing structure is great - one price per person for venue, food (which was amazing), bar, tax, and gratuity. No nickel and diming here! We had close to 180 people, and I've heard nothing but great things from all of them. I had the best time at my reception and feel that is largely because Ian was so great and Bell's was so beautiful...I highly recommend it!

let me tell you...they did everything I wanted and did it perfect. The barn looked breath taking, the staff was so nice, and the food was delicious! Our wedding guests raved and couldn't believe how amazing everything was. Ian is beyond helpful and so accommodating. Our reception was everything we wanted and more thanks to Bell's Banquets. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere beautiful and with great food and service.

taff really went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They were always available via phone or email if we had any questions! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all inclusive venue!

ion was easy! They were professional throughout, easy to contact via phone or email, and constantly concerned with how we wanted things done. They definitely made us feel special and created a worry-free experience. The food was great too! Even the cheapest price range provided delicious entrees.

lutely fabulous experience. Ian Bell, the owner and manager of the venue, was so easy and wonderful to work with! He was very accommodating with everything we wanted, but also had suggestions that made things even better. The venue itself is an old barn that's been renovated and turned into a beautiful venue for a wedding. From the wooden rafters to the crystal chandeliers, the place is a dream come true for a bride like me! The service is fantastic! The food was amazing. I can't begin to tell you how many people told us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. We had the filet mignon and the parmesan crusted chicken, both delicious! The best part of this venue is the price! It is very reasonable for the experience we had. I would absolutely recommend this venue to ANY bride and groom, and already have!

nders are excellent, and overall service is unmatched. My guests raved about it all! Ian is such a pleasure to work with and made our planning easy and stress free. Our calls were always answered promptly, our questions were answered clearly and with confidence, and any special request we had was fulfilled. Having our reception here was one of the best decisions I ever made!
