We cannot say enough about the incredible experience we had at the historic Hotel Leo for our wedding weekend (which also ended up being a bit of a family reunion). From start to f...
inish, every detail was attended to with care and precision, making it an unforgettable event for our entire family.
The chef and culinary / banquets team delivered outstanding food and beverages that were a highlight of the weekend. Every dish was perfectly executed, and the drinks were crafted with great skill and creativity. Our guests are still talking about the delicious cocktails in your bar, Amendment 21!
The event staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their professionalism, warmth, and ability to anticipate our needs made the entire process stress-free. From setup to the final moments of the event, we felt completely taken care of.
The hotel staff deserves a standing ovation as well. Their hospitality and attentiveness made all our guests feel welcome and comfortable, and the historic charm of the venue added that little something extra to the celebration. I continue to receive feedback from friends and family about what a great time they had and what a great location it was and would love to go back and stay in Hotel Leo again.
One unexpected highlight was the "Unlock the Leo" tour. Our nieces and nephews absolutely loved it! It added a fun, interactive element to the weekend that everyone enjoyed and will remember fondly.
Thank you, Hotel Leo, for making our wedding weekend a truly exceptional experience. You created memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we are so grateful for your hardworking team and stunning venue.
