Highly Recommend LGM! Very pleased by the staff and all the location, plus bonus benefits LGM offers.

10/10 - I would highly recommend Leopold's Mississippi Garden to anyone getting married. My husband and I were married at Leopold's in May 2024 and were so pleased by the whole experience. We would select the same venue if we were to do it all over again.

Here's just a few things we loved about our experience:
1. The staff. Every person we interacted with was friendly, attentive and a joy to spend the experience with. They were receptive to many requests and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. One examples of this is my husband and I wanted our seating chart to be an exact way we knew would be best for the different attendees and the LMG team worked with us to get it the way we wanted after lots of different drafts we asked for.

2. The location. The grounds are stunning, the indoor spaces have elegant details everywhere you look, AND they have some of the best (included) parking of venues I toured. It's near downtown so it's convenient for lots of hotels or folks traveling from different places, but still has an amazing outdoor space that feels peaceful and secluded from the cities if you're looking to get the best of both worlds. The parking space is large and right next to the venue, which was a big problem we faced with looking at venues more downtown. The location also offers different places for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without making anyone drive to other places. We explored the venue for a small wedding 50-100 and for something bigger when we couldn't decide how many people to invite. The venue could accommodate both in a way that didn't feel like it would be empty or over-crowded in either scenario.
3. The community. This one is a bit of a bonus because I wonder how often past brides/families/etc are being invited back to public events at your wedding venue? My guess is it doesn't happen very often. But at Leopold's they have free live music events weekly in the summer, plus activities in the fall and winter. I really enjoy being able to go back and spend time at this place, which reminds us of the many happy memories we made there. It feels like we get to have a little anniversary celebration every time we return for an event.

Leopold's has something really magical that is unique to them as a venue. We are so happy with our decision to get married here.

Leopold's Mississippi Gardens

We had such a great experience working with Jamie and she made our planning process (which we were having to do remotely since we lived 2000 miles away) so easy and smooth. The list of vendors provided know the venue well, so working with them went smoothly as well. Our reception was such a great experience. Leopold's was absolutely gorgeous both inside and out, and we and our guests loved it!
