Laurel Creek Manor — Attraction in Sumner

If you are looking for a romantic venue south of Seattle, I highly recommend Laurel Creek. LC is, by far, the most gorgeous venue I've been to in the South Sound...plus, Kirsten and her team are absolutely amazing!

My husband and I found Laurel Creek four days after our engagement and we're so glad we did. They only have one Saturday left in September (which we snagged). From the moment we took the first tour, Kirsten was friendly, honest, outgoing, and extremely easy to work with.

Through the planning process, Kirsten was a lifesaver. She worked with my mom and me to bring our vision to life, from using their gorgeous farm tables to renting chairs to match. The pre-wedding planning session with the walk-through was also a huge help. Never feel like you are asking too many questions - Kirsten is so sweet and quick to respond and she offers great advice and support!

For an outdoor space that is the home of many weddings throughout the year, I couldn't have been more impressed with how everything looked on our wedding day (September 30). The grounds are perfectly kept and the garden florals she chooses are gorgeous and neutral enough to match everyone's wedding colors.

This didn't deter us from having an amazing time, but there are a few things to note -- you must use a venue-approved caterer (she gives four options...Snuffin's is AMAZING, by the way) and kegs are not permitted. Ladies also must have their hair and makeup done offsite.

All in all, I can't sing the praises of Laurel Creek Manor enough! I highly recommend looking into them for your wedding day...but book soon because...

We are so happy we decided to have our wedding at Laurel Creek Manor! The venue is stunning and it worked perfectly for the European/elegant feel we were going for. I loved that there is a tent for dining which is great to have in case it rains. The tent is a beautiful set-up with draping and chandeliers. We took advantage of the additional décor pieces offered at Laurel Creek Manor. We used the wine barrel bar, wine barrel bistro tables and the bar sign. We kept out décor simple and only used the additional décor pieces and flowers since the venue is gorgeous on its own.

Kirsten was phenomenal! She went above and beyond our expectations. During the rehearsal we planned for rain and I am so glad we did because it poured during the wedding. Kirsten offered suggestions and she relayed everything to the caterer the day of the wedding. Everything worked out smoothly with plan b. The day of the wedding she provided umbrellas, helped put boutonnieres on the groomsmen’s jackets, and helped me fix my dress right before the ceremony. We were not expecting the additional help and were really touched by her kindness.

We heard from many guests their thoughts on the venue and they loved it! They loved the manor, tent, layout… everything! And with Kirsten’s help no one had any idea we had to go with plan b for set-up because of the rain. It really was perfect.

Their recommendations for caterers are great. We went with Occasions Catering which was perfect for us.

If we were to do this all over again, we’d go back to Laurel Creek in...

Laurel Creek was the first and only venue we toured and even though it was pouring rain when we visited, we knew it was the one. It's gorgeous, spacious, and well maintained. We hardly had to provide our own decorations because the venue itself is so beautiful, we didn't have to do much. Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful it is and that it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to.

Kirsten was so kind, patient and accommodating through the entire planning process. She is so sweet and makes you feel like family when you walk through the doors. Even on the day of my wedding, my mom was struggling to bustle my dress so Kirsten stepped right in and got it all bustled up without hesitation.

We absolutely loved having our special day here and would recommend it to anyone...
