PERFECT VENUE, PERFECT STAFF AND AMAZING FOOD! My husband and I were responsible for our son's wedding; I had less than 90 days to plan it. I had to get busy...FAST. I thought the worst part of planning this wedding would be finding a recepti...on area...but Laurel Manor made it the easiest part. And Rachel West took so much stress off of me; everything was absolutely perfect. I gave her my budget and she made it work.
After leaving the church wedding, my son and his wife had time scheduled for photos in the beautiful garden at Laurel Manor, and also in the elegant lobby. They made their GRAND ENTRANCE on the sweetest balcony inside the reception area and everyone ooo'd and ahhhh'd!!! My son looked so happy. The service staff were warm, inviting and efficient. The food was AMAZING and, 2 months later, people are still commenting on the wonderful experience and amazing FOOD they had. Rachel West was my ambassador at Laurel Manor and I totally credit her for keeping me from having a nervous breakdown. Anytime I'd call with a request she would say, "Don't worry, Charlene. I'll take care of it" and she DID!!! I went into that gorgeous reception room, relaxed. The linens were beautiful, the room warmly lit, and the entire experience superb. The sirloin was brought in on a flaming silver platter; it was perfect; the food was way beyond expectation. My son, who is very difficult to please, looked around, came to me and said, "Mom, this is beautiful. It's way more than I expected. How did you do it?" . I will never use anyone else for any other extravaganza that I need to plan. This experience was beyond perfection. Other than having my children, this was my crowning achievement, thanks to Laurel Manor and Rachel West. You gave me a wonderful memory, and my son and his wife an elegant, comfortable reception. My deepest, heart felt thanks.
