Laurel Wood Gardens

Good: The idea of the outside wedding under the oak trees. Bad: The professionalism of the owner, the location looked like crap (weeds everywhere, bumpy astroturf aisle, poor condition of house & entire site) Impossible to contact. She dressed like she just came in off the street...just overall an awful experience!!. Improvements: Either get the motivation to provide what is promised, or get out of the business!!. Other: She was impossible to contact, did not show her face the entire day of the wedding, except to come out and tell us we were doing things wrong, and then decides to finally show up right before the party goes down the aisle and do things "her way" Very poor taste in attitude, and lack of ambition to make brides happy. If a mediocre wedding with no charm and wow factor, and you don't want people to remember your special day...then this is the place for you!. more

We had our wedding at Laurel Wood Gardens in April 2004. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The chairs for the ceremony are set up in a grove of large oak trees with abundant Spanish moss. Beautiful, but also practical as it keeps the area much cooler than if it were in the sun. The reception area is equally well designed and there are also beautiful flowers to accentuate all of the pictures. Also, the owner was extremely helpful in finding other vendors that suited our taste from the DJ, photographer, caterer and any other option you can think of, or forgot to think of. All the decorations are included in the price and she even let us use her account to buy the remaining flowers needed from the wholesaler since we were doing that part ourselves. Highly recommended!! more
