About

02. community

With an eye for romance and a splash of Italian heritage, the Cabodi Family lovingly remodeled the 1917 estate to create this unique family owned and operated venue. Our family welcomes you to enjoy the Gardens and Manor House as your own. Laurel had a vision for a venue that had it all: Beauty inside and out. Furniture. Tent for rain or shine. Indoor ADA restrooms. Parking. Dressing rooms. Exceptional service.

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 daughter Faye and new baby boy Foster, and enjoy little things like homemade pizza & movie night at their home in Tacoma.

Laurel Creek Manor loves to stay connected to the community in Sumner, WA. Our favorite community contribution is to the Daffodil Festival.  Each year Laurel Creek Manor hosts the Daffodil Princess Tea- helping the festival raise funds for the festival and its royal court. 

Our most personal annual contribution is to the Laurel Creek Manor Fund for ALS Research, at UW Medicine. Our beloved 'mother to all the brides', Laurel Cabodi, lost her battle with ALS. To date- we have donated over $120,000 to the fight against ALS.
