Harry P. Leu Gardens Reviews

Not only was the event staff incredibly helpful ahead of time, but also on the day of. The gardens are open to the public, yet our ceremony remained intimate and free of bystanders. As a bonus, we got to take wedding pictures with dinosaurs!

We held our wedding ceremony at Harry P. Leu Gardens, and we loved it so much that we wish we could get married there all over again! Our event coordinator assistant, Kandace, was an absolute pleasure to work with; she was always quick to respond to any questions, and she kept detailed track of any changes or specific needs we had for our ceremony. She was so professional, communicative, and efficient, which put our minds at ease while planning a wedding during a global pandemic!

This place is gorgeous! Perfect for a wedding!

Working with Harry P. Leu Gardens was absolutely perfect!! Jonathan made the entire rental process easy & was so incredibly helpful!! He was readily available for my million questions, offered guidance and support when I was unsure about the "wedding process". I would recommend Leu Gardens one hundred times over for any type of event

Jonathan and the whole Leu Gardens team is AMAZING!!
Jonathan answered every question, took the time to do the walk through with us his self.
Got back to me with impeccable timing, understood our vision and made our wedding day the BEST! This place is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be any happier choosing them for our day.

Thank you so much!

We got married in Leu Gardens this month and it was wonderful. I notice a lot of reviews mention lack of communication, which mine would as well if not for a change in contact/employee just a few weeks ago. If the reviews mentioning lack of communication worry you, please know I have had a much better experience with Leu Gardens since Jonathan took over! He is very quick to respond to emails and was very accomodating. Our ceremony site was destroyed by Irma and he was flexible in helping us find the perfect site for us and it made our day perfect!

We had our wedding reception at Leu Gardens on May 14th from 6-10pm. I would highly recommend this wedding venue. The reception could not have been any more perfect! As long as you have a great team of vendors that are familiar with the venue, your night will run smoothly. I booked the venue a year out and had no issues. Since the gardens would already be closed by the time our reception started, the staff allowed us to come in April and take “engagement” pictures around the gardens free of charge, which was wonderful. I highly recommend taking pics in the gardens at some point if you have a night reception like us because the gardens are just SO beautiful and the pics turn out great! If you do just book an evening reception, I would suggest taking most of your pictures offsite/near your ceremony. We figured we could take some around the back of the building by the lake but there was a ton of mosquitos, so definitely avoid that area (especially if your dress has tulle because they will get caught in your dress!) You can get some pretty ones inside by the big window though for the same lakeside effect. Overall, we had a fantastic wedding reception. The space was transformed beautifully with the help of our fantastic vendors (Soundwave, Puff n Stuff, OW&PR, Letz Dance on It, Country Club Flower Shop) and it was just a beautiful, fun night!

The team at Leu Gardens has been great throughout the wedding progress and my fiancee and I are very excited to get married there next May.

Leu Gardens is beautiful by itself, but the way the staff takes care of it, makes it even more special. We got married at the Courtyard Gazebo and it was my favorite place since I've visited the gardens a while ago. Debbie is amazingly kind, patient and accommodating, I can't express in words how grateful I am with all the support and understanding through the whole ceremony planning process. We changed the time, the amount of guests, and other things and she understood it well and assured me that everything was fine. A beautiful place managed by wonderful staff! I definitely recommend Leu Gardens!

I had my wedding ceremony at the Rose Garden in Harry P. Leu Garden and it was BEAUTIFUL!! My wedding was in December so all the roses were blooming and the weather was perfect. The chairs they provided were clean and comfortable for the guests. The Bride's room was a bit small to get everyone ready so I rented a room in the main building for a little extra. I would recommend the Rose Garden to everyone!!

I used Leu Gardens for my bridal shower and it was just amazing. Getting information and setting up my date was such a breeze and really reasonably priced. The Orchid Room was beautiful with tons of natural light pouring in. Everyone that attended has called me to tell me how amazing and beautiful it was. After planning a stressful wedding at another venue, thank you so much Leu Gardens for making my bridal shower so easy and fun!

This is my favorite place in Orlando. Gorgeous settings and wonderful people. We had such a lovely experience and I highly recommend them! The whole property feels like a new world and it was great for our photos.

Beautiful venue. Would recommend this location for anyone looking to have a garden wedding. My only suggestion is that the venue offer a golf cart ride to the bride or perhaps elderly guests or members of the wedding party. It's a long walk back to the South Woods Gazebo in heels on a warm day.

Leu Gardens is not only beautiful, but incredibly reasonably priced for a wedding venue. I was married in the Rose Garden, and the ceremony -- and the pictures -- were beautiful. The staff set up everything exactly as requested, and was very accomodating in letting us in to take pictures before the 4 pm ceremony.

We didn't have our reception there -- just the ceremony. Everything was perfect -- even the weather -- and I highly recommend this location.

I have absolutely no complaints about this venue. They were helpful and more than willing to answer any questions we had. They are the reason our wedding was so wonderful!

This gardens is awesome. The Floral Clock is beautiful. The flowers were replanted and everything was perfect. The flowers change throughout the seasons so there's always different colors. The reception room was big enough. The staff was so friendly and the hospitality was great. After getting married there we were given a membership packet with free guess tickets and movie nights. I would highly recommend this venue. Harry P. Leu Gardens is breath taking.

beautiful reception in camellia room. it looked amazing and having the gardens for photos was even better! it was a hot august wedding but having the guests inside made it much easier. the room and staff were helpful and amazing, i loved getting married here and highly recommend it! the lake view is so nice and the gardens are awesome for photos! the room was the perfect size as well and balcony was so big and nice for the guests to wait until the room was opened for the reception. no complaints about Leu Gardens, made my fairy tale wedding perfect!

This was the most beautiful backdrop for our special day! The people here were so welcoming and kind and were willing to work with us and make it just how we wanted it. I have no complaints and am just so pleased with the photos from this venue.

THe venue and the gardens are stunning, we had the opportunity to look round a few days before the wedding day. On the day itself it was raining, as a UK bride I was used to it, but really wasn't looking forward to getting the dress wet. On arrival I was told that we could have the ceremony inside, which turned out to be just as beautiful as having it outside. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Leu Gardens is beautiful and it was superbly so on our wedding day. The staff is super friendly and they were very accomodating. I understand why people reserve this location a year in advance!! The pictures came out beautifully and the guest enjoyed the scenery.

We held our ceremony here, but not our reception (which we held at my parent's home). For the price compared to other areas around town that host outdoor weddings, we felt this was reasonable. Especially since they provide chairs here, which other outdoor venues did not. Leu Gardens also gives you a choice of 4 wedding spots within the park, provides a Bride's and a Groom's separate dressing room, gives you a separate rehearsal day, and to top it all off the bride and groom get a year's membership to the Gardens. We also brought in our own musicians, which they accommodated nicely. Overall was a great experience!

My wedding on May, 09, 2010 went off without a hitch in part because the staff at the Leu Gardens was fantastic! They were professional and informative and answered all of my questions each time I called. On the day of they aided some of our elderly guests in getting to the wedding site and followed our set up requests to the letter. I would highly recommend Leu Gardens as a place to have both your ceremony and reception. The Gardens are beautiful and we didn't end up spending a lot of money on ceremony decoration simply because it was already beautiful!!!

Leu Garden's was the perfect place for my wedding, they were very accommodating. On there website it states rehearsal is only Mon- Thurs. I explained to them we could not have our rehearsal on the says and they allowed us to come in on St. at no cost to us. Everything was done perfectly.

I loved the location. The site was so beautiful all on it's own. No decorations needed. It was so private, I felt it I was in my own little garden getting married. The staff answered all my questions and was very nice on the day of our wedding.

If you are looking for a beautiful ceremony and reception area you should pick Harry Leu Gardens. We were so pleased with the service and the way they handled our wedding. They were very helpful til the minute we left the site.. I would tell anyone to use there services inside and out.
