Went to a wedding here last night - it was pretty, the food was okay, but the reception room acoustics were so bad you could barely talk to the person next to you, never mind the people across the table. We all came home with sore throats from yelling to speak all night. It was a fun wedding though!

We got married a few weeks ago at the Laurel and it was truly the best day of our lives! It was only the second venue we toured and we immediately knew it was where we wanted to get married. The chapel itself is gorgeous and the reception space is also stunning. From beginning to end, it was the best experience working with everyone at Boxwood. Everyone was always upbeat, encouraging, responsive, and excited to help your dream become a reality. Our wedding coordinator Kayleigh was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond and made sure our wedding day was seamless. Our guests also raved about the food, which was all amazing. The chef Justo is the best and will ensure you have the best food that fits your budget and vision. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this venue, they are truly the best!!!

We looked at 6 different wedding venues in North Dallas area, we narrowed it down to two. This will be a Smaller wedding 100 -125 so felt the Laurel was perfect- Clean, beautiful chapel and indoor and outdoor reception area very well maintained - Hannah was our tour and point of contact - I wish I could hire this young woman, professional, detailed oriented, follow up impeccable and made us all feel at home. Boxwood ( parent company) this woman was one of the main reasons my daughter chose The Laurel - I just want to let you know what a jewel you have.

The Laurel is a beautiful place it will always hold sweet memories for me. One of the best places to celebrate a wedding. The staff was professional, expert, and invisible. What I mean is that one hardly noticed them but they were attentive to every detail. I did find that the a/c was under efficient and the place was "stuffy", also as beautiful as the place is it is on the small side and it felt crowded for the large wedding we attended.

The Laurel is an all around great venue! It is relatively affordable (depending of course on what kind of packages you want), and I definitely decided to dress it up which the venue is more than helpful with! From the head chef to our day of coordinator, this venue is so great to work with! Highly recommend!

Fourth...gosh, maybe fifth time using The Laurel for a corporate awards dinner. There is a reason we keep coming back! Carly was our coordinator this year and was amazing. Any of my last minute changes she handled with ease. When planning an event, the ability to have the event venue handle the linens, tables, chairs, sound system, glassware, bartender, food and alcohol, catering staff, bartenders, off-duty officer...they truly make it SO easy for you and at a beautiful location, too. Will be booking again for next year's event!

I used The Laurel for a corporate event, needing to be perfectly between Dallas and Fort Worth. Location on this venue is ideal, and yet it is still tucked away. The venue is beautiful, and Ashley was amazing in helping to coordinate it all.

As a local florist we have the pleasure of seeing many venues. The laurel has an easy loading area, friendly staff and in a great location. It’s easy for guests to stay at a nearby hotel being centrally located. Great experience working here!

The Laurel is the perfect venue! Hands down! This venue has an incredible chapel with wooden trusses that transform the space into anything you can envision. The adjoining venue for the reception is spacious and amazing.The team at The Laurel is so friendly, helpful and wonderful. They are able to make anything happen for you and ensure you are perfectly comfortable on your big day!Justo and the catering team are AMAZING. I am without words. I got so many compliments on the food for the cocktail hour and wedding. We loved our tastings and meetings with Justo. I could not imagine anyone else who is better at this career than Justo and his team.I would recommend this group to anyone as they made our day perfect!

The two stars are only for the beauty of the place and the wait staff. Those should both be 5 stars because the place is really beautiful and the wait staff was very accommodating and friendly.However, I’ll tell you about our evening experience of the wedding we attended. Upon our arrival, there was a complimentary valet but we chose to self park. When we went in we headed towards the chapel but there was no one there to greet us until we were told to go in this other room until called. Turns out, that room was a hallway and we were all jammed in there. Finally we were allowed to go in the chapel. The wedding itself was beautiful. After the ceremony we were all ushered out back where there was a small patio, lit fireplace and located right outside where what appeared to be the reception area. It was freezing out there! There were two open bars. That was nice. But we all wished we could go in to get warm. Finally we were allowed to go in. The DJ was blasting music to a level that you had to scream to say anything for the person you were talking to, to hear you. My voice was hoarse by mid way through the evening. There was a buffet that consisted of undercooked chicken, overcooked broccoli and dry potatoes. The food was horrible!I would never recommend this place ever!

Beautiful interior, polite staff and professional.I attended our company's annual Christmas party at The Laurel this week & it was such a splendid experience!The parking lot was clean, well lit and not terribly far from the venue. Upon entering I stopped by the bathroom for a quick mirror check. Gorgeous decor, new fixtures and flooring, clean.After the bathroom, I headed to the main banquet room where the formal dining was to take place as well as the happy hour portion. There were only 2-3 bartenders but it wasn't an issue. No wait longer than 90 seconds and the staff was extremely helpful. The outside foyer was gorgeous and heated for those who wanted to partake in the outer bar. Food was delicious. Overall, I'm giving it 5 stars - well deserved!

The Laurel is absolutely wonderful - I can’t say enough about how highly I think of this venue! As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to photogram couples getting married here a few times, and I am always so impressed by the staff (especially Julianne and Carly!). Their kindness, attention to detail, and the way they care for their clients and guests is absolutely wonderful. The bridal suite has so plenty of room for the bridal party to get ready in (and it’s so picturesque!), and the grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and perfect for portraits. I love the fireplace and covered patio outside for cocktail hour, and having the chapel and ballroom so near to one another makes everything easy for guests to enjoy the day. Such an elegant venue and beautiful place to say “I do”!! — Sami Kathryn Photography

My husband and I could not have had the most perfect day without the incredible Boxwood Hospitality staff at The Laurel. They were so great with the overall wedding planning process and their communication. My day of coordinator Ashley was very helpful, professional, great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. The Laurel exceeded my expectations in every way. They brought my wedding day vision to life with their beautiful venue, phenomenal preferred vendors and great catering options. I can’t thank them enough for making our day an absolute dream.The venue is stunning for any themed wedding and I highly recommend this beautiful venue!Thank you again Boxwood Hospitality Team!

So many praises to sing for The Laurel and our coordinator, Abby G! Abby was pivotal in making sure the event ran like clockwork, and took care of anything we needed along the way! We hosted a company holiday party and the team at The Laurel made it one of our best ever events! Food was AMAZING, location is so lovely, tons of parking... and the staff was all made up of top-notch professionals! I definitely look forward to the chance to return to The Laurel!
