The Laurel Texas by Boxwood Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

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

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!

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!

When we first toured The Laurel, we knew right away that it would be our venue- never did we think that it would turn our SO beautiful! We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at The Laurel! The space is incredible (it photographs so well too)! Working with their team of experts, they really listened to what we wanted and we were able to make slight changes to a few things to really make the experience unique for us. As a bride, I felt very at ease having so much taken care of on their part. My husband and I really enjoyed the food tastings, it was DELICIOUS! The bridal suite and the grooms suite are unbelievable, we felt so comfortable and had so much space! The outdoor area was a huge plus to have for our cocktail hour and for our guests to be able to escape to during the reception. Everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding thanks to Rachel! She really went above and beyond for us and we could not be more grateful!

Where do I start! We had our wedding at the Laurel in October and it was the most beautiful and amazing day. The venue is just stunning! Julie was there on our special day and she is just such a pleasure to work with! She took time to learn what we wanted and didn’t want and made sure our whole day ran with ease. We were lucky to have her there! We had the most beautiful day and could not have picked a better venue. I highly highly recommend the Laurel. It’s amazing and they are all so great. Thanks everyone for making our day solos special!

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!

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!

Our experience with everyone at Boxwood Hospitality was amazing. Everyone is so attentive and responsive to any questions and ensures that your wedding day is nothing short of perfect. Our day of coordinator was Abby and she worked alongside our wedding planner to create the best day ever. The Laurel is the best wedding venue in DFW due to its elegance and convenience! Our wedding day was so special and it would not have been the same without the Boxwood Hospitality team and our beautiful venue.

Abby and the rest of the Boxwood Hospitality team at The Laurel were fantastic to work with. They were helpful throughout the entire process and played a large role in making our wedding unforgettable.

We chose The Laurel as our Wedding Venue because we wanted a place convenient with the ceremony and reception at the same place. We also knew we wanted it to be indoors since it was June in Texas. I loved the “Texas Ranch” vibes with the stone and wooden accents. The bridal suite and grooms suite were well decorated too and made for great pictures. They use Boxwood Catering so you don’t have to organize with another vendor for food and alcohol. They include linens and a day of coordinator too which was something that made them stand out above other venues. Abby was assigned to us as our coordinator and she went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. I live in Arkansas and Abby communicated and remained flexible the entire planning process. I couldn’t recommend The Laurel or Abby more!

Easily the BEST part of my wedding was my venue- The Laurel. They were incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable during my tour of the venue. Once I decided I HAD to choose them, my coordinator, Carly, was helpful and made sure to take on any and all stress before and on the wedding day.

The Laurel crew went above and beyond for us to have an amazing wedding day, thanks!

Literally a dream come true. We were looking for a venue that offered an intimate setting, space for the ceremony and reception that also included in house catering. The minute we approached the venue and were greeted by the staff we were sold! The venue is breathtaking and I was obsessed with the chapel. The simplicity and elegance of The Laurel allowed me to create the intimate, romantic and dreamy setting I wanted for my big day. The entire booking process was smooth and transparent. The Laurel offered all the above plus your own day of coordinator. Every interaction we had with each staff member was professional and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure every aspect of your wedding journey, from booking up until after your wedding is a seamless and warm experience. I was assigned Maggie as my coordinator and let me tell you she is AMAZING. She did not skip a beat and made the wedding planning stress free and fun. We looked forward to our meetings with her! Communication was always on point and she exceeded our expectations on our wedding day. She did the most! She tackled the things that went wrong with other vendors effortlessly and made sure I was stress free and most importantly in the moment. To be honest she was not just our day of coordinator, she was our friend, there supporting us and guiding us on the best day of our lives. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the ambiance and service were outstanding. After the wedding the feedback we received from our guests were all positive. Everyone loved the venue and kept complimenting Maggie. She made sure EVERYONE was happy. Not just the bride and groom. I highly recommend booking your wedding at The Laurel. We wish we could do it all over again! When the time comes we will definitely be renewing our vows there! Thank you again for making our dream wedding come true!

I was drawn to The Laurel for it's beautiful interior architecture. We were searching for a space for my husband, who is religious, and me, who is not. The chapel was the perfect spot to bridge both of our dreams for a beautiful backdrop. The Great Hall is just as beautiful with exposed trusses and a wonderful fireplace, which we used for our winter wedding. From our first inquiry about the space, to getting linked with a coordinator, our experience was outstanding. We were assigned to Abby who was the perfect match for my husband and me. She was always quick to respond, guided us with ease with our many questions/ideas, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She made us feel like we were her only client. The amenities that come with The Laurel, onsite parking, multiple rooms under one roof, the separate suites for the bride and groom, onsite kitchen, beautiful outdoor spaces - the entire site is kept clean and well groomed. Although you're near the highway, you feel secluded and tucked away in an intimate space. All of the staff was kind and accommodating leading up to our wedding and on the day of. We wish we could do it all over again!

From day 1 of booking, The Laurel and Boxwood Catering were INCREDIBLE. We had tons of unique requests (hello charcuterie boards for centerpieces, allergy plates, etc.) for our wedding and they took everything with stride and made our wedding day a dream come true. Wish we could get married here again!

My husband and I fell in love with The Laurel the second we saw it. The entire venue is beautiful and provides so much versatility. We loved getting ready in the Bridal and Groom Suites and having our cocktail hour on the patio (even in December - they provide heaters!) And of course, the main reception room was absolutely incredible! Throughout the process, we worked with both Maggie and Abby and they were both great to work with! Both were very professional, quick to respond, and communicated well with our Planner. It was obvious that they cared about making us happy and having all of our dreams come true. They really worked with us to answer all of our questions and help us feel confident and assured in all of the planning aspects. Our wedding day was perfect and the entire Laurel / Boxwood team helped to make that happen!

When I say that every part of working with The Laurel was perfection, I'm not exaggerating. From our first impressions on our first visit, all the way through the planning and preparation process, they took amazing care of us. Maggie was our day-of-coordinator (yes, they provide you a coordinator!), and thought of small details and questions that never would have crossed my mind. Maggie and her team did such an incredible job taking care of us and our families on our wedding day, that even our other friends and guests took notice. Everything went off without a hitch in huge part to all the work her and her team did day-of, and in preparation leading up to our wedding. Lastly, The Laurel is super up front and transparent with their pricing, they mean it when they say everything is included. We had no surprise fees or costs come up later on. I would strongly recommend The Laurel to any couple considering it! Thank you so much for being one of the best parts of our wedding day!

We absolutely loved The Laurel! Everyone was so helpful and the day went by flawlessly! Maggie, our coordinator, was such a joy to work and plan with! The venue was the perfect space for us!

The Laurel was such a BEAUTIFUL venue. Carly was my coordinator there and she made sure that my day was stress free and special. From the second we signed the contract, Carly contacted all of my vendors and made sure they knew where to show up and what time to arrive. She took care of any vendor questions or concerns which made planning and day of coordinating stress free. On the day of, she made sure my bridesmaids and I had everything we needed. She was super helpful in showing us (and our guests) where to go and what to do. Everything went smoother than I could’ve hoped for and it was all due to Carly’s assistance! I could not have done it without her!

Our wedding at the laurel was our dream day! Our day of coordinator, Maggie, made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure I was relaxing and enjoying myself. The chapel is stunning, the bar service was great, and the food was phenomenal. They even set up an extra buffet line so everything went quick and we could dance the rest of the night away. Any questions I had throughout the process Maggie was more then willing to answer or give me recommendations about. I did most of the planning myself but she helped remind me of anything I was missing and coordinated set up with vendors so I didn’t have to worry about anything. It really was the best day of our lives!
