Lawry's Special Events

Lawry's Annual Oktoberfest October 7, 2009

Lawry's The Prime Rib has hosted another successful Oktoberfest at the restaurant. Native Bavarian and executive Chef Walter Eckstein feels at home, proudly creating a buffet of traditional fare matched with eight of the best, classic beers presented by
German beer specialist Larry James.
The Oak Room was festively decorated with balloons, banners, and special linens.

The buffet menu consisted of assorted traditional salads such as German potato, refreshing marinated cucumber salad and savory bavarian cabbage. The buffet featured assorted cold cuts sliced to order, smoked trout and matjes herring. Our favorite sausages were the bratwurst, weisswurst, and bockwurst that were served with warm sauerkraut and assorted mustards. The Lawry's carvers offered roasted veal shank, roasted pork shank, and stuffed breast of veal. The guests finished their evening with plum cake and apple strudel.

Lawry's Catering at Stone Manor July 11, 2009

Lawry's Catering celebrated a beautiful wedding event at Stone Manor on July 11, 2009. Melissa enjoyed working with Debbie and Martin in planning their wedding. It was the first time for Lawry's to host an event at the Stone Manor.

The estate overlooks the grand Pacific Ocean stretching from Catalina to Santa Monica Bay. The mansion has a series of terraces where you can easily take advantage of the space.

The ceremony is usually in the upper terrace where you can easily set up for more than 100 guests. The gardens are surrounded with beautiful greens and flowers that drop down to enhance the wedding.

Stone Manor inspired us to create special hors d'oeuvres and cocktails to match the beauty of the venue.

From start to finish, it was a memorable day!

Testimonials from our guests...

"Having attended many weddings, I had explicit criteria I wanted met to avoid problems I had witnessed at other events. Melissa heard every detail I mentioned, and executed it perfectly. She was such a joy to work with. A thank you also goes to Priscilla, who was there on site. What a team!...Let me just say that the guests have not stopped raving about the service and quality"
-Nancy Singer, 7/11/09 Wedding at The Legendary Park Plaza catered by Lawry's Catering

"Ellen, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you this past Saturday. As a band leader I have no interface with many coordinators/facililators...which means many personalities....MANY of which can be a bit prickly. You made the reception a joy to be a part of. Thank you again for your professionalism and calm spirit." -Andrew Carney (Trumpeter) 8/29/09 Wedding at Lawry's The Prime Rib
