To conclude our series about what the Lesner ladies love about working at Lesner Inn<\/a>, we hear from our Event & Sales Director Alexis Hionis.\u00a0 It can be hard to pinpoint one thing that we love about our job, so Alexis highlights all of her favorite things below:<\/p>\n

\"Alexis<\/a>I graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor\u2019s in History & Sociology, so people always ask me \u201cHow did you end up in the wedding industry? What made you want to do this?\u201d My answer is simple.\u00a0 Everything about my job at Lesner Inn makes me happy<\/a>. I\u2019m constantly surrounded by people and things I love, so why wouldn\u2019t I do this?<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll start with my coworkers. The team at Lesner Inn<\/a> is unlike any team I\u2019ve worked with before. I consider the girls I work with in the office like my sisters. They each hold a special place in my heart. You\u2019ll often find us laughing to tears over absolutely nothing, singing the Lion King Soundtrack, or binge eating sweets.\u00a0 We may share a common interest of everything wedding, but our friendship goes beyond our office. And I\u2019m lucky to have them in my life.<\/em><\/p>\n

The location. Lesner Inn is located right on the Lynnhaven River<\/a>, so every day I\u2019m at work I\u2019m reminded of how beautiful our home is.\u00a0 The view is incredible. And the sunsets are breathtaking.\u00a0 When things become hectic at work, it\u2019s nice to take a moment on our Sunset Deck and appreciate where I live and where I work. Not many people can say the same, so I feel #blessed<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The vendors. Or better yet, my friendors. The Hampton Road\u2019s wedding<\/a> industry is large, and I\u2019m fortunate to have so many friends in the industry.\u00a0 We connect each weekend to work similar clients\u2019 weddings. And we team up throughout the year to host open houses and create stylized shoots. They\u2019ve even supported me through the start of my nonprofit, riseVB, and my fundraising ventures with Beach Ball.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The icing on the cake for me is seeing everything come to life on the wedding day<\/a>.\u00a0 My relationships with my clients grow throughout the planning process.\u00a0 I become so fond of their story \u2013 how they met, how they fell in love\u2026 all of the good stuff. But there\u2019s something about the way they look at each other when they\u2019re standing at the arch that gives me all the feels. And I wouldn\u2019t trade that in for the world.<\/em><\/p>\n
