Amazing! From tour to wedding day!

It wasn’t long after we walked through the front doors when my wife and I knew that we found our venue. From the ballroom, to the view from the gigantic deck above, and all the way down to the altar on the river; everything was perfect! Jamie and her team were able to take our vision and create the day we both dreamed of.

DeGroot Wedding Sept 2025

I/my husband/our guests cannot recommend Leopold's ENOUGH! The Venue is absolutely breathtaking! We heard time and time again from our guests that the venue was just absolutely perfect, amazing, gorgeous, etc....and we agree - that is the main reason why we landed on Leopold's! However, their team goes above and BEYOND on day of! Everything was executed to a T and every little detail, like fluffing my dress at the end of walking down the stairs was thought about on their end! Their entire team delivers!!! They have Raul who is a master at giving UTV rides down to the ceremony, Alyssa is a master at making drinks and just so personable with every guest, Jamie herself is hands on and was manning our procession and our grand entrance and was cheering us all on, her daughter Jordan was the one hiding behind a planter to fluff my dress before walking down the actual aisle after the stairs, Carol put all of the finishing touches on the decor, and Courtney was the one who was our point of contact leading up to it and made it all come to life. I am sure I am missing so many people that had a part in it and for that I apologize but to sum it up this Venue, this Team, absolutely SLAYS! Yes, it may seem pricey at first but the professionalism, coordination and absolute magical wedding day you get day of all in makes it extremely reasonable in comparison to the industry! Their team truly makes you feel like family!

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!

Amazing venue

We had our wedding at Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River that made for unforgettable photos and a magical atmosphere. From the beautiful indoor space to the picturesque outdoor areas, every detail was thoughtfully designed.

Jamie, our main contact, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She was incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. The entire staff was amazing and helped create the most memorable experience for us and our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a more seamless planning process. Highly recommend!

Amazing Venue

We absolutely loved this venue!! Getting married here fulfilled all our dreams for our big day. Jamie was so responsive and helpful during the whole process and responded to our questions so quickly. We were so worried about our wedding because of all the rain that had been happening, but they had so many back-ups plans to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and reception. Luckily it ended up being the only sunny day of the week, but it helped my nerves to know that they had it all covered, and I didn't have to worry about giving directions on how to change things if it did rain. 1000% recommend this venue for the beauty they already provide. We added very minimal decorations because it was already so nicely set up.

Fantastic venue!

We had the best wedding day at Leopold's Mississippi Gardens! The entire booking process, meetings to discuss details, and communication about the customizations of our day were so well executed. We had an absolute wonderful day utilizing the outdoor ceremony space, the outdoor deck, and the beautiful and clean reception hall. Jamie and the rest of the LMG family and staff were so wonderful to work with, and were so responsive throughout the entire process of planning. Highly recommend this as a wonderful venue for a fantastic wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
