Above and Beyond

Hotel Leo did a fabulous job helping me host my wedding. When I first signed on, there was little and slow communication, but they hired a new team about 8 months before my wedding that were on the ball and super helpful.

The event planning team was awesome to work with, Shelby was great and I really appreciated all her quick answers to ALL the questions I had! Everything was set up well and they helped problem solve behind the scenes when things needed adjusting.

The hotel/room booking side was also lovely, they accommodated us to the nines! Everything we needed, they gave us - bottled water, phone chargers; you name it, they had it!

HIGHLY recommend working with Hotel Leo for your wedding, or any event, if you get the opportunity to.

Leo wedding

The historic hotel was a neat setting that we loved for our wedding. The entrance and ballroom was beautiful and guests were happy with it. The kitchen needs some work/deep cleaning and we worked through some challenges with staffing in regards to the hotel portion and guests were not placed in rooms near each other. We were allowed flexibility which was nice. It all worked out in the end for a covid wedding.
