A Night to Remember — Thank You, Leonard’s!

I may be a little late writing this review, but there’s no way I could skip sharing how incredible our experience was! From start to finish, the service for my daughter’s Sweet 16 was absolutely amazing.

Our maître d’, Marcelo, was exceptional, attentive, organized, and made sure every detail ran smoothly throughout the night. Ana, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure my daughter felt special and cared for every moment. And Jeffrey, our sales representative, was fantastic from the very beginning, helping us plan everything perfectly and making the entire process effortless.

The team worked seamlessly together, creating a night that my daughter, and all of us, will remember forever. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism, warmth, and dedication. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish! 💫💖

Our 11/8/2024 Wedding!

We had the absolute best wedding day all thanks to Leonard's Palazzo!!!! The place is absolutely gorgeous, the food was amazing, and it was one of the cheapest prices per plate of all the venues we toured during the planning process. We were engaged for two years and booked Leonard’s right away so we actually booked with one Banquet Manager who left Leonard’s and then we were assigned a new Banquet Manager, Didi. Didi was so incredible. She answered all of my tedious questions always answered her emails in a timely manner, and was so helpful throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, the Leonard’s Staff practically waited on me and my husband hand and foot. We received white glove service, complimentary champagne the second we arrived, and soooo much more. My Bridal Attendant, Alisson, was like a gift from heaven! She held my dress and bouquet the entire time we took photos, brought us food and drinks from our cocktail hour to enjoy alone and uninterrupted in the bridal suite, and even draped a table cloth over my lap so I wouldn’t get food on my dress. She was absolutely amazing. I was a DIY bride so all of my centerpieces were made by me. I dropped off all of my décor at Leonard’s the week before the wedding and my vision was executed perfectly, even more beautifully than I had pictured in my head. Every bit of food we ate was absolutely delicious, I wish I was hungrier so I could have eaten more of it! All of our guests are still talking about how great the food was. Overall everything was perfect, our experience at Leonard’s Palazzo could not possibly have been any better! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend considering them for your next event!

Best day of my life

From the initial meeting with Didi, our Banquet Manager, I knew we were in good hands. Didi is professional, organized, thorough, and patient; all wonderful qualities to have when planning for a major event like a wedding. Didi provided a tour of the different rooms available which helped us to narrow down our decision and guided us through all the major and minor details to consider leading up to the big day. She was communicative throughout the process and flexible! Everything within their control went smoothly on their part and the Maitre' D (Diana) and the bridal assistant (Jennifer) were absolute gems. Diana guided us the day of, making sure to provide an outline of events, checking in with us for feedback and coordinated with our MC. Jennifer was reassuring, thoughtful and helpful, and considered things I did not and could not think of the day of to help staying happy, relaxed, and energized. I would highly recommend this venue for any event. You will be in good hands!

The Experience of a Lifetime

I cannot recommend Leonard's Palazzo more highly and with special commendations to banquet manager Didi Simancas. From the very start, after attending various venue open houses, the value offered by Leonard's left no decision-making. The food sampling was top-notch restaurant quality and of course, the ambiance of the venue was quite sophisticated but not over the top gauche. Then sitting down with Didi was quite comfortable. She is an excellent listener, knowledgeable, and professional, and was more than willing to work with you to ensure your dreams were realized. Didi was always readily available throughout the year of planning. We used their "preferred" vendors in photography and the officiant, with whom were equally superb. Our day was seamlessly stress-free thanks to Kevin our Maitre d and the attendant in the bridal suite. We had multiple guests rave over the food and spontaneously express that ours was the "best wedding" they had ever attended. Looking back, ... there was not one thing that I would have done differently.

Amazing Venue

My wife and I got married here a year ago and we still talk about how amazing the venue was. Everyone was so helpful. Our Banquet Manager was Jeffrey Edmonds, and he made sure that our event was exactly how we wanted it. He respected our budget and did not try to make us go beyond our means. All the while, he helped us have the wedding we envisioned. Our Maître-D, Peter, made sure that we were accommodated when there were last minute changes. He also made stylistic recommendations to enhance the decorations we had and implemented them by using what was already available to us. My wife's bridal attendant, Carolina, went above and beyond her duties. She anticipated my wife's needs and ensured that she was comfortable on that day. The other staff members were kind and very helpful. We are glad we chose Leonard's!

10 out of 10!

Gorgeous venue and great food! My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The maitre'd, Peter and the bridal attendants, Rina and May, were attentive and one step ahead of us all night. We worked w/ the banquet manager Jeff who accommodated all our needs. Our guests can't stop talking about how great everything was.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
