We are delighted to announce that Leez Priory has won an award at Hitched Wedding Awards 2024 in the Historic Wedding Venue Category—this was awarded thanks to all the amazing reviews and testimonials that our couples gave us in 2023! This is the second year running for which we have won this prestigious award!
We were voted County Champion for the hotly contested Essex area in the Bridebook awards in 2022. In 2020, we won the ‘Best Countryside Wedding Venue’ category at the prestigious British Wedding Awards 2020 for the second year running! We were also shortlisted in the Best Historic Wedding Venue category at Hitched’s UK Wedding Awards in 2017 and 2o19.
Our venue was also voted ‘Best UK Wedding Venue’ by the readers of Wedding Ideas Magazine in 2014, and highly commended in the Best Wedding Venue category for the Perfect Wedding Awards in 2013. Finally, the readers of Wedding Ideas voted Leez Priory as best UK wedding venue for two years in a row, 2007 and 2008.
Kristy
I just want to say a massive thank you to you as you have made this stressful situation a lot easier and for that you are a legend.
Today is our one year anniversary. We feel incredibly lucky that we were able to get married in exactly the way we wanted to and we feel for all those whose weddings have been cancelled since. I imagine our wedding was one of the last that took place at Leez Priory. We had 80 guests during the day and 100 in the evening… no social distancing, no masks. Just fun and enjoyment and being blissfully oblivious of how the world would change.
Today, to celebrate our anniversary, I made my boys dress up in our wedding clothes… including our 8 month old baby Hugo (you might remember I was pregnant when we got married). We listened to our wedding music and had a delicious afternoon tea made for us by a local business. It was wonderful.
It made me think of you and so here I am emailing you to say thank you for being so helpful and for making our day just how we wanted it to be.
I hope you are well and that you will soon be re-opening the doors of Leez Priory.
Thank you, Thank you. Honestly I can’t say it enough, thank you for all your help and support.
Hi Kristy
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your continued help and support throughout the 2 years we have been in contact and I can’t begin to imagine how busy you must be following the announcement last night.
It’s difficult to express via email but I want to thank you, for every single thing you have done. This has not been a smooth journey but you have been nothing short of miracle workers. You have been extremely amicable, flexible and understanding and Alexander, my family and I, couldn’t be more grateful for everything you have done.
Thank you so very much Leez Priory, we are so looking forward to our wonderful day with you.
You have made us very happy with some good news that has been a difficult time for all, many thanks !
So we had to book our venue through a virtual tour due to Covid. Leez Priory did an amazing job and made us feel so comfortable going ahead with them!
Such a beautiful venue.
Can’t wait to see it in person
I wanted to post an honest review about Leez Priory because frankly I have been blown away by how amazing this place is.
Our wedding was originally booked for August 3rd 2020 but as you’d imagine, that had to be cancelled. We then moved it to July, then February and with the current lockdown situation have now moved it to April. Leez have been unbelievably patient, understanding and responsive throughout this time and I can’t thank the staff enough for being so kind, so supportive and not to mention, unbelievably amicable.
So a huge thank you to the Leez staff but in particular, Kristy and Sue, who have been just fab! Thank you for still making me feel like a beautiful bride!
What a great venue! My daughter had her wedding here a couple weeks ago and the staff especially Sue and Sunita were exceptional. So helpful and flexible especially as we had a segregated wedding and it was not the norm for them. Thank you so much! The venue is so beautiful and speaks for itself. Perfect place for a dream wedding. Highly recommend
Not had my wedding yet as we’ve had to postpone twice, but with that in mind Leez have been phenomenal. The care and understanding of the Leez Priory staff, and particularly Kristy, has been above and beyond and even looking past the beautiful venue itself, the gorgeous grounds, decor and accommodation, finding somewhere that you can trust and feel as though your day is safe and under control is truly priceless.
I can’t say thank you enough nor recommend Leez Priory enough, and we are both so so looking forward to finally being able to celebrate our wedding in 2022.
