Best venue + coordinator!!!

The Laurel was the most perfect venue for our wedding! We fell in love with the simple beauty of the place from inside to landscape. Super great location for out of town guests as it’s within 5 minutes of DFW, downtown Grapevine, and plenty of hotels.

The entire Boxwood Hospitality staff made planning so easy. Our coordinator, Amber, went above and beyond to make our day perfect!! It wouldn’t have turned out without all the help and attention to detail she put into our day!

Highly recommend The Laurel!!! (and anywhere that Boxwood Hospitality manages!)

Helped make our perfect day even more perfect!

I'm so beyond happy to have picked The Laurel as the setting for the best day of my life. Not only is the venue take-your-breath away gorgeous, but every single person we met with Boxwood was 100% committed to ensuring we had our perfect day. Specifically, our day-of coordinator, London. I could not have dreamed a better person to help us figure out everything we wanted. Neither my husband or I are good planners, and London was able to help us figure out details that made our day extra special. We were told that day-of coordinators are worth their weight in gold, but London is worth so much more than that. Everyone we met at Boxwood was kind, helpful, and flexible. They made everything so easy. I can only imagine what my stress level would have been otherwise. We're so grateful to all of the staff that helped make our wedding day extra special.

Loved This Venue!

The Laurel was absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day! The Chapel and Great Hall reception room were perfect. The rooms felt warm and cozy with the wood accents, scenic windows, and the fireplace burning in the Great Hall. There’s plenty of space to accommodate both large and small weddings, with a large dance floor as well. With Texas weather, you never know what it will be like, so I was glad it could all be indoors.

Maggie, my day coordinator, was fabulous! We had three meetings as we went through the wedding planning process to make sure everything would be smooth on my wedding day and that I had everything scheduled that I would need. On my wedding day, she helped coordinate all the events and made sure everything went on time and according to schedule. She immediately adjusted if we needed more time for pictures or late family members to the venue. She was very professional and experienced in handling weddings and it showed!

The Laurel also provided a list of any vendors you would need: DJ, florist, etc. Our DJ was off of their vendor list and it was perfect because he knew their schedule and worked his program and music accordingly.

The food choices provided by the Laurel were good and they were very accommodating to special plates/allergies. They were also very willing to adjust the menu for your tastes.

I was extremely happy and impressed with the staff, vendors, and venue overall at the Laurel. I loved having my wedding there and my (now) husband and I had an amazing time!

A great wedding venue all around.

Maggie was awesome to work with. Our daughter had a wonderful wedding experience at the Laurel in Grapevine. Our guests had a blast and really enjoyed both the chapel and the reception hall. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Just a fantastic experience from start to finish.

A beautiful venue that lightens your load!

The Laurel and Boxwood made the venue experience so easy and convenient! We loved the rustic atmosphere of The Laurel, and we got a lot of compliments on the space. Our guests especially enjoyed the outdoor patio with the fire going. Boxwood also provided a day-of wedding coordinator, Carly, who was immensely helpful, especially since I was doing all the planning on my own. She was always quick to respond and answer my questions, and she made the whole process feel less stressful. I also appreciated her attention to detail. The location is also perfect for out-of-town guests, since it's so close to the airport, and it's centrally located for our guests spread out across the DFW metroplex. I would highly recommend!

Best day of my life!

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!!!

A Perfect Venue & Amazing Team

When we started our wedding planning process, venue was our top priority and we had a list of over 15 venues we planned to schedule for a tour. When we saw The Laurel, we were so captivated by the location, the interior and exterior design and most importantly the beautiful and classic chapel. After touring The Laurel, we knew it was the one and did not even have a backup venue. Haley was so helpful with the tour, and the venue was even more beautiful in person and the outdoor was so greenery. London, our venue coordinator was simply AMAZING throughout our planning process till the wedding day, beginning to the very end. She was so patient and understanding on our rehearsal day as some of our wedding parties were running late and we ended up needing extra time and we so appreciated her for that. She was very knowledgeable and provided detailed information throughout the planning process. She had great communication and organization skills which made our wedding planning process so enjoyable and smooth! On the wedding morning she checked on me and reminded me kindly to enjoy every single moment of the day and that the day would go so fast. Our wedding started at 5:30PM and London often checked on us if we needed anything which made us feel so special and so well taken care of. We had such a great peace of mind knowing that London was there the entire time on our wedding day. During our custom menu tasting, the catering service team went above and beyond to understand what we were wanting to serve and they exceeded our expectations on the wedding day!!!. All of our wedding party enjoyed the food so much and we received soooooo many compliments on how delicious the foods were. All of The Laurel staff were extremely friendly and professional. We are so grateful to have had London and The Laurel Team for our biggest day

Amazing Wedding Event

The Laurel is WONDERFUL venue for wedding! Beautiful facility that has feel of being out of the city in a private estate yet so close to airport and hotels which was very important to many out of town guests. The wedding planner executed flawlessly and always so polite and attentive to our needs. Wedding was a marvelous, fun filled evening with no stress. Thank Laurel and Boxwood for an amazing event!

Great Venue!

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!

Beautiful venue and amazing team!

When we first toured the Laurel, we knew our hearts were set on it. No other venue won us over quite like this one. From planning to meetings to our wedding day, the team at the Laurel was amazing every step of the way. Justo and the catering team were incredibly flexible and in tune to our every request when it came to food and beverage. The catering showcase was great to help us fine tune our meal choices and give us a taste of the delicious food Boxwood Hospitality offers. On the wedding day, the meal was absolutely perfect and the bar was a big hit! Carly, our coordinator, was calm, communicative, attentive to every detail, thoughtful, and always did everything she could to make our requests possible. We couldn't have asked for someone better to walk us through the planning process and be with us every step of the way on our big day! We are SO thankful to have had her. The Laurel is a beautiful venue and perfect for any couple! You will not be disappointed with your choice!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Finally....a gorgeous venue in Grapevine, TX! The Laurel is a hidden oasis...that happens to be right in the middle of the metroplex and close to everything. It's only 5 minutes from DFW airport, which is invaluable for out of town guests! You truly can't beat the convenience of their location. You can host your ceremony in their chapel and your reception in their great hall/patio....your entire magical event all at one beautiful venue! No detail has been missed, including the stunning and spacious bridal suite with plenty of room for your beauty pros (!!) and your girls to hang out and relax while everyone gets ready.
