We worked with Julie at the Lion House and she was so wonderful to work with! She was willing to meet with me multiple times about our reception and made us feel like a priority. The event itself went off without a hitch and was BEAUTIFUL! Not only was Julie there but an entire team and everyone made sure we had everything we needed. Our day could not have been more perfect and we are so glad that we held our event in the Lion House garden!

The Lion House was the perfect place to host our immediate family wedding luncheon. We wanted something small but refined, and this place was just right. We had our luncheon in the Garden Room, which we highly recommend - the room was very beautiful. The food was phenomenal! Our guests still talk about how delicious the food was - and they were very accommodating to some slight variations we requested in our menu selection. Our event coordinator was incredible - she was very attentive and polite, and helped make our luncheon the best it could be. The only letdown was their music system was temporarily down, so we had to enjoy our luncheon without pleasant background music. The Lion House is an excellent choice for a wonderful wedding luncheon. NOTE: The entry for the Lion House Banquets/Events is through the front, the entry for the Pantry/Cafe is on the left.

I liked it but not a ton of flexibility with the menu

The reception in the garden was beautiful! I loved everything about it. Our wedding was in the middle of the summer, but it wasn't hot at all. It is rather expensive, so if you're looking for a place on the cheaper side, this isn't the one for you! The food was delicious, but they forgot our rolls and we never got our money back or any compensation.
