Absolutely amazing. We do not need to mention the impressive building or the stunning grounds – everyone already knows about those.
Just have to mention the staff – they work so efficiently, all day, making sure our wedding day was seamless and, to be honest, easy!
Our wedding manager Leanne was in complete control, telling us where we need to be and keeping everything running. This allows the bride and groom to just enjoy the day.
Cannot wait to visit Leez Priory again in the future. Thank you everyone.
We got married at Leez Priory in October 2024. This venue is stunning both inside and out with immaculately kept grounds and interior.
The hospitality in the lead up to and on the day of the wedding was fantastic. The food was also brilliant. Another great perk of this venue is the amount of onsite accommodation.
We had the best day and evening at Leez Priory and would certainly recommend it!
