Good afternoon Leez priory team,

I would like to start by saying how impressed we were with Sunita she was completely flawless and nothing was to much to ask for. Everything that we asked for was done and perfect. I know that it’s not just one person there is a team of people that make it work as well as it did so I would love it if you could pass on my personal thanks to each and everyone of the team from the groundsman how made the venue so lovely and clean to the cleaners that made the rooms appear brand new and clean.. to the Bar girls and boys to the chef and their team of people that made the most perfect food that I have ever tasted ( not one person said anything bad about the food) one person controlled this along side our nerves though and that was Sunita guiding the whole thing throughout this lady is a very valuable member of your team  and is very dedicated to what she does and she executes it so well.

So to you Sunita I really do hope you know just how perfect you made our day the venue the way you sorted out everything even when Karen locked herself out of the fisherman’s cottage, you are a complete star and I am so so glad that you wanted to work with us to make our day as special as possible.

To the management team of Leez priory I really do hope you recognise the value and skills that Sunita has, the lady is fantastic at her job and is a real asset to you.

As you can tell by this message we were 100% impressed by the whole day you made it so magical and a memory we will have for ever

Many thanks – Matt and Karen Charles

Bride & Bride – Sarah & Laura

We had our wedding with you last Sunday (25th July) and we just wanted to get in touch to thank you so much for all of your help and support and for your staffs’ excellent service.

They really couldn’t do enough to help us and given the circumstances surrounding Covid, I’m sure none of you have had an easy journey over the last year or so.

Despite the hit and miss weather we all had a fabulous day and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
