We are incredibly happy with how everything turned out for our wedding at the Lorien! We had our wedding at the Lorien Hotel on 5/25/19. In regards to planning and preparation, Amanda was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so helpful and responsive to all of our requests! During the event, the entire staff were professional, attentive to our guests and were so organized!! Big shout out to Kat, the catering manager, for making sure everything in terms of venue coordination on the day of our wedding went smoothly! Our wedding ceremony took place on the rooftop, overlooking Old Town with the Masonic Temple in the background—absolutely stunning! Dinner was in the Liberty room with dancing in the Independence room! Now on to the food—WOW! Our guests are STILL talking about how delicious all of the food was at our wedding! Everything from the appetizers during cocktail hour to the plated meals during dinner was perfect! There aren’t enough words on how incredible this venue is for any event! We are truly grateful to Amanda, Kat, and all of the Lorien staff for making our wedding an wonderful success and the best day of our lives!

I had a small (~35 people) wedding reception at the Lorien, and would definitely recommend! The value was great, and the whole process to book and plan was made so easy by the lovey team. The food was great, and I appreciated that the spaces at the Lorien are flexible so I could host a really intimate dinner with family, but still have extra spaces that people could use to mingle and chat throughout! The events team, especially Jennifer, were incredibly helpful and communicative, answering my million questions and being very flexible right up until the last minute. It was also great to have a room included in the package as that made everything so convenient. All of my guests who stayed at the hotel really enjoyed it (and it’s dog friendly!) and we had a wonderful time - all of the staff were so kind and helpful, and we had an incredible time.

Everything at the Lorien was incredible. We chose the venue because hospitality was our priority; we wanted good food and excellent service. The Lorien surpassed every expectation that we had.

My aunt was our florist and did the decorations, she has raved at not only how helpful staff was in setting out the decorations, but how creative! Kat and her staff came up with creative solutions to unforeseen problems. They responded with professionalism at every turn, making what easily could have been a stressful day smooth and fun.

Our families and friends enjoyed chatting with the bartender and a number of the staff working the event; and felt that their enthusiasm and personalities added to the fun and atmosphere of joy of the evening. The venue was creative and perfect for allowing dancing and conversations, and mingling among guests.

So many of our guests have complimented that this was the best wedding they have been to and we agree; if we did it over again, we would not change a thing.
