Laurel Creek Manor requires the use of one of our three listed catering companies. We have worked with these fantastic teams for many years and are proud to offer our clients these exceptional options. Prior to the event, the catering coordinator will help you with menu, rentals such as linens, flatware, etc. Your catering staff will handle furniture set up and tear down on the day of the event.

Kirsten & Aaron Downing
In 2004 this unique family business went from vision to reality when Laurel and Al Cabodi created Laurel Creek Manor. Their daughter Kirsten has been with the company since it began, and together with her husband Aaron and their two young children they continue Laurel's beautiful legacy. Starting their own love story at Laurel Creek Manor in 2012, Kirsten and Aaron are proud to share this piece of magic. You can find your hosts maintaining the grounds, continually updating the manor house, working with clients, and managing each wedding and event. They have a hands-on passion for every aspect of the venue. When Kirsten and Aaron aren't at Laurel Creek they love to travel, hike, have adventures with their children Faye, Foster, & puppy Peach, and enjoy little things like homemade pizza & movie night at their home in Tacoma.
