ABOUT
In addition to the breath-taking indoor venue, there are endless opportunities to host your ceremony, pre-dinner drinks or even your reception outdoors. This includes areas under the seasonal canopy of trees through which your guests enter the venue, or on the sprawling and perfectly manicured lawns.
Laurent can comfortably seat 250 guests, with ample space for a dance floor. You also have access to our stunning cutlery and crockery, as well as our beautiful tables and chairs – all of which are included in your (venue hire package).
Photo opportunities are truly plentiful – Lourensford is any photographer’s dream! The estate offers an eclectic blend of gorgeous potential backdrops, including an array of fields, fruit tree orchards, vineyards, pine forests and gardens.
To top it off, Laurent also offers bar and staffing solutions, as well as in-house catering services.
Over the past decade or so, we have built an unmatched reputation for excellent service. In addition, we have a strong network of talented preferred service providers who are regarded as part of the Laurent family.
