Beautiful wedding venue! My partner and I got married here and found the staff (wedding planner Sue) to be beyond helpful and attentive!

With a windy and risking wet day, Leez Priory worked with my providers to ensure the best possible options for the day, they supported throughout a complex meal service with many allergies and to consider, providing lovely meals to our guests and the venue came with rooms for our guests to party away and stay over with us!

Well-kept venue perfectly designed for weddings – if you are considering Leez Priory go visit and fall in love just like we did.

We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone at Leez Priory who made our day the most perfect, flawless and memorable day of our lives.

Sophie was just absolutely 10/10, what an absolute superstar. Sam and her waiting team were second to none – everyone was so polite, friendly and efficient working together as a well-oiled machine. The food was incredible.

Genuinely, thank you all so much. It was more magical than we could have ever dreamed. We will definitely come down for a nostalgic stay at some point in the future.

The setting of the venue was exactly what we wanted for a quintessential English countryside wedding.

Leez Priory staff team were truly amazing on our wedding day, plus our wedding coordinator Sunita was utterly fantastic. She was so accommodating and patient, with such a warm nature and demeanor.

The bar staff and waiter team managed the crowds excellently and the food was delicious. Even the glasses collection was on point, so that the place didn’t look messy throughout the evening.

The food was delicious with plenty of choice, and without tasting anything prior to the day it did not disappoint.

We can’t recommend Leez Priory enough!

We had our wedding at the Leez Priory, the grounds were perfectly lawned. We stayed in the Fisherman’s cottage the night before, beautiful surroundings it was set on. We had the hamper for our dinner the night before which was lovely and lots of it.

The wedding itself went to plan without any problems, I was amazed at the coordination and smoothness of it all. We had Sunita who couldn’t have done enough. She was exceptional and kept everything running smoothly.

I would highly recommend the Leez Priory, a perfect venue.
