Fantastic

We loved that Leez Priory was exclusively all ours for our wedding. It is a stunning venue and all the staff were amazing. The food was fantastic! All of our plans and dreams were expertly executed on the day, everything flowed beautifully. We wouldn't have changed a single thing. Thank you!

Memorable Day!

Brilliant wedding venue, Charlotte our wedding planner had things organised to perfection. Due to us living 6 hours away, most of the wedding was organised over phone and email. Charlotte was absolutely brilliant. We did encounter some small issues, but Leez Priory dealt with them professionally and put measures in place to rectify. Food was to die for. I don’t think I’ll ever have beef like it again until we come to a date night! We were fortunate to have an open bar and Leez Priory managed this with us, keeping us in the loop of costs etc. Thanks so much for helping us make our day so memorable

Stunning Venue

Just had the best wedding day at Leez Priory, everyone enjoyed a well planned day at a stunning venue. A big thank you to all the staff that made the day so special, the food and service were second to none. We really didn’t want the day to end or leave in the morning. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning their special day.

Book it, you wont regret it!

Got married at Leez on 18th December 19 & what an amazing day it was. Our wedding planner Keeley was great, so helpful from start to finish.... she even arranged for us to plant a Christmas tree in the grounds of Leez (they were one of our wedding favours) Genuinely couldn’t have hope for anymore, got everything just perfect & wouldn’t have changed a thing. Getting married in the tower was an amazing thing, how many people say they married in a tower? Not too many I’d imagine. The dining room in the main house looked amazing all decorated, partly thanks to our florist but also partly thanks to the Leez staff for helping set everything up If anyone is looking for their dream wedding venue then look to further than Leez as you won’t regret booking it!

Amazing!

James and I would like to thank you so much! You made our wedding day everything that we could have ever hoped for. You and the team at Leez Priory were so helpful and we would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to your whole team. Without every single one of you, we would not have had such an enjoyable experience. You made us feel relaxed and looked after, allowing us to really enjoy our time with our friends and family. Our guests all had such lovely things to say about the staff, and particularly you Sue. You made us all feel so looked after and you really went above and beyond to make sure that our day ran seamlessly. Thank you SO much for everything!!

We didn’t let the rain ruin our day!

We had the most magical day at Leez Priory. Getting married has always been such a huge dream of mine and Leez made that dream come true! From arriving at the cottage the night before right until we left the day after the wedding. Thank you SOOO much to Sue Wilson for everything you done, from answering my inundated emails to holding the umbrella over me and holding my dress & being there on our day and making EVERYTHING perfect! If I could do it all again, Leez priory will forever be my first place I’d choose! Thank you so much again!

One of my top three venue for sure!

At Boutique wedding films and photography we simply love working with the Leez Priory team. The venue is most definitely one of the South East's finest country house venues, mix that with the wonderful team at Leez and you simply can't go wrong... Highly recommended! https://boutiqueweddingfilms.uk/

Our guests say it was the best wedding they'd ever attended

I researched castle weddings and came across Leez Priory. Though not a castle, we fell in love with it! As if the pictures and videos online weren’t enough, when we visited, we soon found that the location was perfect, the grounds simply beautiful, and staff were incredibly friendly. It was the first venue we visited and we didn’t look anywhere else. We could immediately picture our friends and family there, and could see ourselves roaming the grounds on the day quite happily. On the day, we were not disappointed! The staff were incredibly attentive and our wedding manager, Kelly, (on hand throughout the day) made sure everything ran smoothly. We were too excited to eat much on the day so went back for a dinner date and found the food we'd missed out on was gorgeous! We'll definitely attend future dinner dates at Leez Priory! The house DJ was amazing; he took note of our requests and put together a perfect playlist. He ensured that the song we picked out for a special dedication to a close friend was played immediately after our first dance so that she was there to hear it. He read the room and kept the dance floor full, only playing our alternative and metal tracks towards the end of the evening when most guests had tired themselves out, and we'd had time to make the rounds. Absolute amazing day :-)

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Leez Priory Wedding Venue?

It would be impossible to single out one wedding! We work incredibly hard to ensure that every couple feels like the first couple to be wed at the Priory and that it is special and personal to them so they are all different in their own way!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get your venue and your date booked first. So many other details will naturally fall into place once this is decided that it will make it a lot easier to make decisions.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Our couples receive exclusive use of the entire house and it is always lovely when they really take over and make it their home for the day. Family photos on the window sills and mantle piece and guests wandering and relaxing at their leisure throughout the day.

Describe Leez Priory Wedding Venue in 5 adjectives

Breath taking, Rural, Exclusive, Comfortable, Magical

Where’s the best photo spot at Leez Priory Wedding Venue?

The Tower is such a photographers favourite! Adjacent to the main house and the inner courtyard, you can capture stunning photos dawn, day, dusk and night!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Leez Priory Wedding Venue?

Many a time but sadly we have to keep the who and the when to ourselves!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Our office team debate this regularly but as I'm the one on the keyboard it has to be..... chocolate dipped strawberries dressed like mini Brides and Grooms!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Bacon baps without a doubt.

What is Leez Priory Wedding Venue most unique feature?

Probably the fact that we allow our couples to actually use the house all day and overnight. We don't actually permit a marquee so couples and their guests can enjoy their very own Tudor manor house for a day.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We are all about the weddings. We haven't deviated into events or conferences, for 26 years we have 100% focused on making ourselves the wedding experts.
