Laurel Manor Banquet & Conference Center

My daughter and new son-​in-​law their wedding ceremony and reception @Laurel Manor on 8÷21÷15 and I can’t say enough about the help that the staff gave us on this day and evening. They kept us on track and kept things moving in a very positive flowing environment. The staff was very professional and ALWAYS kept us informed of everything going on.
They took our linens n had them set up for us to go in after and decorate. We were able to go in and move fluently and effortlessly and was always there to offer any help.
The ceremony space is quaint and very elegant. Make it what u want it to be. Same with the reception space. Their very flexible!
The food was WAY above my expectations, as I had heard both good and bad reviews. But Im telling you the food (buffet style) was excellent.
Thanks to the staff of Laurel Manor for helping make my daughter’s wedding and reception all she wanted and dreamed of!

I had my bridal shower here on March 28 and my wedding reception on May 16^th and everything was fabulous! The food, the service, the event coordinator! I am so happy I picked this place! Its so clean, beautiful and elegant. If you choose this place for your event, please make sure you see Laila D. She is amazing and helped me throughout the entire process. Every time i emailed with questions, she always had the answers. Jenni is great for service captain for your event. She is always asking if you need anything and she’s a lovely person who loves to help and makes sure that everything is going smoothly. I can’t say enough about how much I loved this place.

I’ve been here for two events and thoroughly enjoyed myself both times. That being said as someone who works in the event and wedding industry I regarded it as pretty average. On the food alone, I’d give it an A. Especially because the event I attended I think chose a cheaper menu. Appetizers were raw veggies and ranch, and a chafer of Italian sausage and peppers. The sausage was cooked well and flavorful. I would order if again, but would be more eager to try something else. Dinner was a plated very standard course. Salad with ranch or Italian dressing. The entrée was roasted chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes — yum. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and tender. It didn’t even need a sauce. The mashed potatoes were equally excellent with the right amount of garlic. There was then a family style pasta with marinara, I thought the portions were more than adequate without it, but tried it anyway and found it average. I’ve had better, but it wasn’t bad. Bartenders were friendly, and the drinks were strong albeit very small so my friends and I were frequently at the bar. While not my taste in décor, I think the facility was very clean and generally appealing. So why only three stars? The service left me underwhelmed. As a trained server myself, I was surprised by several things. First and foremost when we were being served salads the waitress had three or four plates in her hand atop each other separated by her fingers so the salad was touching the bottom of the plate above it. I’d rather she take her time with one salad per hand. I and a friend at my table were also ‘scolded’ for stacking our empty plates in front of us it made me really uncomfortable. I was also very turned off by seeing the server reach across guests to get glasses (when they decided to clear them) and grabbing several at a time by sticking their fingers into the glass — it just seems dirty. So the service I’d give a C-​. Guests were responsible for filling their own water glasses, and after the first cup of coffee I believe there was a station, our server offered coffee once, it came in a small cup and was finished quickly, I would have liked to refill it but it was taken away from me without a thought. They were efficient and got the job done, but if I were to host an event there myself, it is something I would find worth mentioning. The bartenders made up for the crazy server though. My biggest pet peeve however was the table settings were very crooked, it doesn’t take much effort to set them straight and it makes the room look a lot nicer. Overall experience, I’d give it a B. It has a lot of potential, but what made the night for me were the other guests. Events are a competitive business and I don’t really think it was all too special.

There is a deli attached to Laurel Manor. and that is what my review is based on. We love the deli. The deli is open from 10 – 3 Monday through Friday. I go about once a week and buy a loaf of bread. It is the crusty, delicious true Italian bread that you would find in Italy. It is delicious. You can get the bread sliced and it costs $ 5. They sell the bread everyday Monday through Friday except Tuesday. The deli is a hidden gem in Livonia with pasta, sandwiches, and salads. Everything I have tried is delicious. They have a small area for eating with bistro tables. The ladies that work the deli are sweet. The deli seems to get a lot if regulars. If you have never been, check it out. I think it’s Livonia’s hidden gem!

Let’s start by saying it was a really classy New Year’s Eve. The inside and out at the Laurel Manor is in great shape and very well maintained. The staff was helpful and went out of there way to make the night special.
Premium Open Bar, Hors D’oeuvres, Dinner featuring Filet Mignon and Chicken Boursin and a Dessert Station that added 2 inches to your waistline.
Live entertainment by «The One Man Out Band». There a band out of Canada that sings everything from Motown to the latest top 40.
All topped off by premium Champaign prior to midnight while watching the ball drop on the 2 large screen projectors.
I was very pleased with this New Years Eve Party. $ 100.00 a ticket was well worth the price.

Attended a fundraising gala for distinguished organization and agree with many here that this place is beautiful. I had no problem with the staff, they were very kind to me and all of the 400+ guests. However, there were multiple events happening at the same time in this huge building. This led me to believe the walls are very thin as the weddings occuring in the other rooms were clearly heard as the acceptance speeches and keynote speaker spoke during our event. Keep that in mind when booking here.
Parking was scarce on this day due to multiple events occurring simultaneously. You .au want to arrive on time for sake of parking near versus very far from the building.

I’ve really never had a horrible experience at Laurel Manor. And it’s unfortunate that I’m never here just a guest, but as a vendor.
I can tell you that if you’re considering booking this place to host your event, they have all their ducks in a row. And those rows are organized, neat, tidy, and well kept.
I was here today to DJ a wedding. As per usual, I load in from the back hallway and make my way in to the event space. Even with all the hustle and bustle of the vendors moving back and forth, that back hallway is kept in great order. Just stinks because you have to walk by the kitchen every time.
I can’t speaking highly enough about Laurel Manor. It’s always a privilege to play here. I love the staff, the food, and the overall ambience of this place.

It took a major lifetime event for me to finally write my 300^th review!
Father of the Bride moments all behind me. I have recovered from the last minute and day of madness known as my daughters wedding day.
I commented in my original review that I seemed to like this B&CC.
I didn’t change my mind. In fact I was more impressed with how successful everything went on this special day.
To update THEY (Bride and Groom) did not make the final selection for dinner. They would have been happy with a small upgrade of some of the menu choices. Well, this is where I had my say in the matter. I put my foot down. We went with the plate served Fillet Mignon and Chicken Borazon (puff pastry), mashed potatoes and green beans. My personal response was that was an outstanding meal. We also had quite a few people let know during the reception and weeks afterward how much they enjoyed it as well.
The assistance we received before the reception was outstanding. Our planner, Laila, did a great job helping my wife and daughter plan this event. On their wedding day she was very helpful as well since we had some last minute things to handle (placing favors, escort cards, etc). Laila even pitched in and helped with these final decorations. If you have your event here ask for Jenny as your event team leader. She made sure everything was right with the decorations, servers, the cake. She basically was thee for anything we needed. We even had some of our guests compliment her for her assistance with special requests.
We have another wedding to plan. This will be our number one choice when that happens.

Price was good the waitstaff was awesome and the food was good. So why did I give it a 2 star rating? Because the bartender Steve was probably the worst wedding bartender I have ever dealt with he was surly and acted like he didn’t want to provide you with drinks a total JERK!!! If he was not the bartender easily 4 star possibly 5.

This place is beautiful, reasonably priced, has a great staff… I’d recommend this for any large event. I’ve been to prom here a few times, had my wedding reception here (as did my sister, in the same year!!) and each time my family and I have been incredibly pleased. They have many different conference rooms; I ended up needing two conjoining rooms for my wedding reception. They were very accommodating for dietary needs, last-​minute changes, décor… everything.
The rooms are beautiful, the lobby is great for taking photos too, the bars are great… all around great place.

If you like your banquet hall straight outta 1993, this is the place for you. Was there for a work holiday party recently. Food was standard banquet fare, but actually pretty okay. Drinks were super strong at the beginning of the night, then got much weaker… or maybe I got drunker. Not from the area, so it was a little tricky to find on that shady stretch of schoolcraft.

The staff is very rude. We scheduled a walk through after speaking with them via email several times, reiterating the wedding date each time. After driving an hour to get there, we had wait a half hour to meet with someone only for them to tell us the wedding date was already booked but there were other dates available. This is very unprofessional as we made it very clear what the wedding date was and they never mentioned in the several times we talked, that the date was not available. The only thing they had on their mind was trying to sell us another date, not apologizing that they completely lied to us and had us drive all the way there for nothing.

I’ve been to a couple wedding receptions here, as well as a wedding in a little chapel. All of the facilities I’ve seen have been very nice. The food served has been tasty and the service has been good. While there are usually multiple events going on at any given time, the sign at the door is easy to read and understand about where your party is.
Parking is hit or miss, depending on whether your event starts earlier or later than other events happening the same evening. It is well lit, though, so even out further in the lot isn’t too bad.
