My husband and I were married on 10/13/23 so this review is late! However, it’s late because I needed the time to sit down and write the full review. This team was so amazing that I did not want to leave a generic review.
First- NOELLE. She was absolutely fantastic and a real pleasure to work with. I am a wedding vendor myself and the amount of guidance she provided was so appreciated. We worked with Noelle for a little under a year. Her expertise, and eye for detail, is phenomenal. She was always available to answer any questions we had. Second, Noelle was not our planner (although Lesner does have its own planning services) but with how helpful she was, she really felt like it up to the day of our wedding, when our day of coordinator took over. She gave us amazing, money saving recommendations, guidance on our seating chart, guidance on our timeline and honestly, was more involved than the full planning service we booked with another planner (I do have to mention that our day of coordinator, who we did not meet until the rehearsal, was OUTSTANDING). Noelle really put me at ease during many moments throughout the wedding planning process. Third, we originally booked just the waterside deck and, with the amount of family we felt obligated to invite, we decided to upgrade to the Lesner Sunset Deck & Hall (upstairs). We mentioned to Noelle we were thinking about just booking the entire venue for the Friday evening but still hadn’t fully committed. A month went by and another event inquired about booking the waterside deck on the same night of our wedding (which they are able to do as it’s a separate area from from Hall and Sunset deck). Noelle called, and emailed, to ask us if we wanted to move forward with booking the entire venue before they booked the separate space for another group. I was so thankful, and a little in awe, that she STILL checked in with us even though an entire month had gone by! They very well could have moved forward with the other event, as we hadn’t put down a deposit for the entire venue, and had only mentioned it in passing! Fourth, The Lesner is an amazing venue, and it’s pretty much all inclusive (with rentals, upgrades, and more that you can add on at an additional cost). They work with many budgets and tailor it to exactly what you’re looking for. We had inquired at a few other venue’s prior to booking Lesner and fell in love once we saw the packages and the space. I would book Lesner Inn again for any event I have in the future! Finally, the entire team at The Lesner is great and really make you feel welcome the minute you walk in the door. My wedding was a literal dream come true and it could not have been possible without the help of Noelle and my entire vendor team!
