Alexis Hionis
Alexis is a Virginia Beach native, born and bred. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia and, after a short stint in the Los Angeles event industry, 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 The Lesner Inn. Since 2010, she has overseen hundreds of weddings but still hasn’t grown tired of the excitement of the big day…and the wedding cakes.
When she isn’t in the office, you’ll find her working on her annual fundraiser, Beach Ball, or at the beach with her trusty sidekick – Ollie, a long haired miniature dachshund.
Lindsey Basnight
Lindsey is a Radford Highlander and you will never see her without a cup of coffee! Since she’s lived in Virginia Beach her entire life, she’s out on the water every chance she gets. You may see her catching some rays or fishing out on the bay!
In April 2020, she adopted a white Labrador puppy named Fin! Now she loves spending her free time taking him on walks or cruising out on the boat with him!
Kimberly Fonseca
Kim was born and raised in Northern Virginia and is a recent graduate of Christopher Newport University, where she studied Technical Theater and Organismal Biology. She fell in love with event planning while working with her sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha and the Campus Activities Board!
She has the biggest heart and brings so much joy not just to our office but to others too! Every year on 9/11, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, she delivers donuts to the local fire stations as a thank you for their service. She also recently adopted Benji, a 4 year-old Bichon-Poodle mix so we’re sure he’ll start making those trips with her!
Noelle Magnuson
Noelle graduated from West Virginia University with a bachelors degree in Marketing with an emphasis in public relations. GO MOUNTAINEERS! When she’s not at The Lesner Inn, you’ll most likely find her enjoying the sun with her friends at one of VB’s many surrounding beaches
Five years ago, Noelle gained a best friend in her faithful sidekick Jasper. A Terrier mix that loves people just as much as she does, so you’ll be sure to see him getting some rays in at the beach with her!
