Venue Service By Buddy and Alexis, on 29 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 10 Aug 2019 My wife and I got married here nearly three weeks ago and Leez Priory is the most incredible venue. The grounds and venue are kept in top condition. The staff are friendly and really go that extra mile when hosting. Kathryn was our wedding planner and she really helped with all of our wants and needs for our big day. Alex, who was working behind the bar at our wedding, was helpful and friendly as well.
