Our director of sales & events is a VB native, born & bred.  She is a graduate from the University of Virginia, and after a short stint in the Los Angeles event industry, assisting in the production of major events such as the Screen Actor Guild Awards & Netflix’s 50 Millionth User Event, she returned to her East Coast beach roots. With an inherent love for all things wedding, paired with her creative energy and attention to detail, Alexis has found her home at Lesner where she has overseen hundreds of weddings but still hasn’t grown tired of the excitement of the big day…and the wedding cakes. 

Her elevated creativity and design influence stems from her love to travel, and her clients are grateful for her savvy expertise.  To her, entertainment is a lifestyle. And she wants every event she plans to be an experience for everyone to enjoy.

When she isn’t in the office, you’ll find her planning the next fundraising event for her non-profit, riseVB, or at the beach with her trusty sidekicks – Emerson + Harper (her nieces) and Ollie (her long haired miniature daschund).

Our lead event coordinator, Lindsey, has been a part of the Lesner team since graduating from Radford in 2016. Highly raved for her professionalism and event expertise, Lindsey makes every one of her clients feel like they are her top priority… because, they are.

Anyone who’s hosted an event before knows that more often than not, the day doesn’t go exactly as planned.  But Lindsey’s patience alongside her ability to think quickly on her feet and adapt her plan on short notice has made her prepared for any challenge that might come her way. Just ask her about the time she worked a client’s wedding during Hurricane Matthews!

Lindsey’s love for all things weddings extends into her home life. When she’s not with her pawfect fishing buddy, Fin, you’ll find her in a floral workshop or at a fun BYOCB (build your own charcuterie board) class.

Lesner’s marketing guru & calligraphy artist, Kim, joined the team after graduating from Christopher Newport University in Technical Theater and Organismal Biology.  You may be asking yourself, how does one who studied theater and biology end up planning weddings? Well, let’s break it down for you.

She’s like really, REALLY organized. And when coordinating multiple timelines, menus, linens, and vendors, being organized is like really, REALLY beneficial. But her structure and attention to detail are not the only reasons why she has found a home in the event planning industry. Kim is crafty and creative, and she is dedicated to making sure your wedding is unique from any other.

When she’s not at the Lesner, you’ll find her exploring the VB area with her bichon-poodle, Benji and Malti-poo, Louie! 

With a background in marketing & public relations from West Virginia University, Noelle completes our team of event coordinators at Lesner. 

Her positive energy & hard work ethic coupled with her years of experience in the hospitality industry translates into the ideal coordinator with seamless execution at Lesner.  If you had the chance to see what goes on behind the scenes on your wedding day, you’d find her leadership comforting.  And if you get the pleasure of planning your wedding with her, you’d be wowed by her suggestions to perfect your menu with fun signature drinks & trendy hors d’oeuvres.

When she’s not at Lesner, you’ll find her soaking in the VB sun with a smoothie from Paradise Nutrition & her 4 year old Jasper… a terrier mix that loves people just as much as she does.
