We loved everything about this venue. Only thing we wish we could change is picking your own caterer. We enjoyed our caterer we decided on, but it would have been easier to use our own. Other than that we loved this venue and the people who run the place are great to work with.

Our daughter was married there in august of 2010. She wanted an outdoor summer wedding. Laurel Creek is a fabulous venue to hold either an indoor or outdoor wedding. The grounds are absolutely amazing and full of blooming flowers and perfectly cut lawns which made for stunning wedding photos. From the first day we met the Cabodi family, we were impressed with their hospitality. Everything is clearly stated as far as rules, prices, extra items available to rent and the time you must be out by. Even today, friends and family still talk about the wedding and how gorgeous it was. Never was anyone treated disrespectful. Laurel, Al and Kristin take pride in this venue and they are some of the most wonderful people. We could have gone with a different venue, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for and it was worth every dollar! Thank you to the Cabodi family for making our day and our daughters perfect!

I do not think I can recommend Laurel Creek Manor enough. Despite the circumstances for our event being changed and us, unfortunately, being unable to hold our event there - the professionalism, quality of service, flexibility and just over-all customer service experience was exceptional the time we were with Laurel Creek Manor. Between the flexibility with our circumstances for being a military couple and the wonderful payment plans they helped us arrange, we were very well taken care of. Even when we had to cancel due to a family emergency, Laurel Creek Manor worked with us, not against us, to make sure everyone was well taken care of. Thank you Laurel Creek Manor!

I had the best experience on my wedding day, in large part to Laurel creek Manor. The grounds were perfect for pictures, everything from the ceremony to the reception was absolutely beautiful. The best part was the friendly and helpful staff from the day I chose the venue, to the day of the wedding.

Everyone at Laurel Creek was incredibly helpful and friendly! The only issue we had was that the speakers outside didn't end up being loud enough for us to have an outside dance, so I would look into that before making a decision on where your dance will be. Other than that, there were no surprises or add-on fees that we didn't know about, and they were incredibly easy to work with. Great people!

From start to finish, Laurel Creek Manor provided excellence in individualized service. At all times, we felt our questions were answered, our requests met and our dream for our special day fulfilled. We highly recommend the Cabodis and Laurel Creek Manor for a wedding or event of any kind. It will be a memorable occasion.

Laurel Creek Manor is a BEAUTIFUL setting for a wedding! It is run by the Cabodi family who literally take care of every single detail on the wedding day. They are fast at returning emails and super flexible to make everything fit your "dream" wedding day. They coordinated all the other vendors, watched the time, checked in with my husband and I, and were just all around very professional and polite to all of our guests. I would reccommend this venue to anyone, especially if they want a gorgeous wedding and flawless, headache-free day of coordinating! The rental fee is a little more expensive than other places in the area, but it is REALLY worth it for the great service that you get!

Laurel Creek Manor is a place where a bride is treated with the utmost pampering. From the bridal suite, entry way, gardens to the balcony...it all surpasses her wishes. My daughter felt like Cinderella for a day because of Laurel Creek Manor. She had no worries. Everywhere she looked there was someone taking care of the details. She was welcomed as if it was her castle. I can't say enough about the beauty and hospitality. It was worth every penny we spent...wishing I had another daughter so we could do it all over again.

Laurel Creek Manor is a dream come true wedding venue! I cannot say enough great words about it! It honestly was perfect and I do not have one complaint about my whole wedding day. I think that says a lot! I would never imagine my wedding to have been anywhere else. It it a beautiful, romantic, country setting. The grounds are Kept immaculatley, and the Manor is gorgeous with lots of space to be used they way you imagine it to be. Also, wait until you meet the owners, they are the sweetest family who are so pleasant to work with! Out of all of the venues in this category, Laurel Creek Manor was by far #1 and I would reccommend it to anyone!!!Devon Barton

Of course I want what every bride wants... to look back on her wedding day with nothing but wonderful memories! Unfortunately that's not what happened to me. I was married at Laurel Creek about a year ago and was so taken back by the beauty of the venue. I knew within 5 minutes that this was the place I wanted to be married. The staff appeared very sweet and patient and easy to deal with. However, cut to my wedding day, they took a very different turn. They were extremely rude to the wedding party, to the point where I was mortified. They treated not only the wedding party and family members, but also the guests as if they were out to destroy the place. We had a very tame wedding with well behaved guests and yet the way they were treated would appear otherwise. Also, we had everything worked out prior to the wedding, but come the actual day they went back on details that had been worked out- insisting that they were details never discussed. It didn't even matter that we had some of these details in writing. They were so controlling of everthing and it was very obvious that they have difficulties letting go. They told the DJ he couldn't put speakers where they would have worked best (by the way this DJ had worked here prior several times and put his speakers there before) causing the wedding guests to miss major wedding moments. To top it all off, at the end of the night I had at least 6 different family members go through the bridal party rooms and clean up and pick up belongs. My mother got a call the next day from Al, informing her that she will not be getting the damage deposit back because in the groom's room there was beer spilt all over the carpet. First of all, Laurel made sure that there were absolutely no drinks in the bridal party rooms and even made one groomsman throw out his beer in the parking lot- treating him like a child. Second of all, the family members that inspected the rooms at the end of the night said there were absolutely no spills. My mom, completely livid, drove down there and spoke with Kristen about the situation. She told my mom that she inspected the room herself and saw nothing but an open cheese and crackers container (belonging to the flower girl) which was thrown away before departure that night and that Al has a tendency to overexaggerate. At the end of the day, I have absolutely gorgeous pictures to look back on, but with those pictures come tainted memories. I also have talked to many other individuals with similar experiences to the ones I had dealing with this venue and its staff. I have lived in this same area my entire life and even work near this venue. I have nothing but negative comments to share and hope that by reading this, you will give Laurel Creek Manor a second thought when booking your wedding venue.

I wish I had written this review a year ago. My Husband and I were married at Laurel Creek in 07. We did love the site. The grounds are gorgeous. It does have many options to make for a dream wedding, and we wanted ours there. However, that is itfor any pluses. After the wedding I had streams of calls from friends and family complaining of their treatment by the owners of the property. I had complaints of the owners yelling at children playing in the grass telling them to get off it. Wedding party members and family we told they where not allowed in our private dressing rooms (If we needed a security guard at our wedding we would have hired one). We were yelled at for taking a photo opportunity that they used as a sales pitch as part of the experience. Our Bartender was told to stop serving wine an hour before they were too (We still donÂ’t understand this, we are a Christian family that hardly drinks, and the Bartender actually complained to us at the wedding). We had stated in our contract that our guests could stay after we left (as we wanted to leave early) and dance. Numerous people, including our DJ told us that as soon as we left the owner told him he could play 2 more songs. Finally, the most ridiculous and unbelievable moment was when were accused of stealing from the location and they tried to charge us for doing so, we would never do such a thing. I was so appalled with our experience that I would never recommend it to anyone. I was not a difficult bride, nor did we have a large reception. We wanted a small private hassle free wedding with family and a couple of friends. I hate that when my wedding is brought up I get to relive our misfortunate mistake of choosing this venue. My husband is an engineer and I work in health care, and neither of us has seen such a lack of professionalism, and intrusion for a private special occasion. After discussing our wedding with others we discovered there are many people with similar experiences at this venue.

Laurel Creek Manor is run by the fantastic Cabodi family, who I bothered endlessly with emails! (And they always graciously replied) Another referral from a recently-married friend, I was impressed upon first visiting the manor. It is an old farm house, and is beautiful for an indoor wedding and even more stunning to be married in the garden-which was our choice. The Cabodis were also very flexible in terms of having our wedding on a Monday, which they had never done before but were willing to try. They were always very professional, even dressing up for the wedding day, which I really appreciated. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a calm, personalized, lovely country wedding- which is exactly what we got.

I'm not quite sure who wrote the bad review below, but my experience was the exact opposite from that! It was AMAZING working with Laurel, Kirsten, and Al Cabodi. They are an amazing family that I have known for several years before I was even married. The site is TO DIE FOR GORGEOUS... and the Cabodi's are willing to share anything and everything they have on site with you. They are worth what you pay for them. Their professionalism is so great. They help you through all the planning, really cater to your individual needs, and really, truly help you have a wonderful and fabulous wedding. My wedding was so incredible due to the great ideas and the "just enough" help from Laurel and Kirsten. This place is so wonderful. I'm not sure you'll ever meet more caring, willing, and helpful people. They really pamper you and make sure you are comfortable. The bridal suite is so amazing and the groom's room is a great place for the guys. When I was searching for vendors, it was hard to find something in my price range that seemed like it had EVERYTHING I needed. Laurel Creek Manor had exactly that. I wanted a place for all my bridesmaid's and my husband's groomsman. The best thing about Laurel Creek, besides Kirsten, Laurel, and Al is all the different options they give you in terms of set up to really make the ceremony and reception yours. YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT LAUREL CREEK MANOR! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS! You'll regret it if you don't get out to see Laurel Creek Manor. Thank you to Laurel, Al, and Kirsten- you made my day the best day I could have ever had!!
