Welcome to Laurel Court in Cincinnati, Ohio
When I visited Laurel Court my jaw was to the floor the second I saw this beautiful estate. Built in 1902-1907, Laurel Court is an elegant European-inspired wedding venue in Hamilton County. The estate features a “grand staircase imported from Europe”, marble floors, a stunning music room, a beautiful atrium in the center of the home, and a gorgeous French garden.
