We got married at Leez Priory at the beginning of Jan and wow what a beautiful day it was. We found the venue very last minute and had just over four months to get everything sorted. There is no way this would have been possible without our lovely Personal Wedding Manager Lucy. She went above and beyond.
All the team at Leez were absolutely lovely, professional and so so attentive.
Leez Priory has so much to offer, stunning picture locations, multiple venues within the grounds to have your ceremony, canapés, wedding breakfast, first dance and not to mention their hidden dance floor! Thank you all so much!
