Having our wedding at the Lesner was the absolute BEST decision that I made. The space is stunning and I always enjoyed every time I was there. I could go on an on about how amazing everything was but let me point out what absolutely MADE our time with them incredibly special. 1. The people. We worked with Britne and she was kind, friendly, always prompt with responding to my every question, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure we got what we needed. We live in Tampa, FL but are from VB so she was more than accommodating working around our travel schedules. The night of the wedding Britne was on top of everything, always in the mix to help with anything, and made me feel totally at ease. 2. Food\/Alcohol. As someone who never dipped their feet into the wedding world before my own wedding, I had no idea what to expect. Having a venue that handles the food and alcohol is a MAJOR plus. Not only is a plus that they do it, but they do it WELL. They have sooo many fabulous options to choose from- from the hors d’oeuvres, to the dinner, to even late night snacks (I HIGHLY recommend adding some of their late-night snack to your menu. We did the chicken tenders and pretzel bites which were an absolute hit!). Anything that you choose will be delicious, by far the best wedding food I’ve ever had. The catering staff was also amazing. Everyone I ran into on my wedding night was friendly and helpful. The bartenders were top-notch too, we had friends go out of their way to tell us how great they were! 3. Location. We knew we wanted a venue that could host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the same place. Each part of the night had its own space in the venue (if you do rent the entire space that is) and each area felt special and welcoming. There was not an inch of the venue I wasn’t obsessed with. I always wanted to have everything inside because I did not want to let the weather dictate my day so I was a litttttle nervous about having the ceremony on the deck. To my dismay, it did in fact rain on my wedding day, BUT that actually turned the deck into the most romantic, gorgeous, intimate space to have the ceremony. So I can attest, even if you’re wanting the beautiful sunset overlooking the water, the rain can add a special touch that will make your ceremony unforgettable (all of our guests were swooning over how stunning it was). The venue really speaks for itself. You see pictures, you can even go in and even see other people’s wedding set up in there, but when you walk in and see your vision that you’ve been working on for months and months in the space, there’s no better feeling. And it will come together working with the Lesner! You could honestly have no decorations and the space would be beautiful. 4. Rental items. We added the drapes and lighting behind our band and on the ceiling and it was….breathtaking. I highly recommend adding those two things especially if you want a band!! They have so many fun extras to choose from which made it so much easier to go through them and not have to find another vendor. 5. They KNOW what they’re doing. There were times I didn’t even know what I was doing and was praying it would come together, and it did. But it wasn’t by luck, it was because of how hard the staff works, how well they know their stuff, and how beautiful the venue itself is. My wedding at the Lesner was a DREAM. Perfect in every way, you will be blown away working with them. Thanks again for everything \ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
