Amazing Venue!
Leona Road was the perfect wedding venue! We got married here in June of 2025 and had the absolute best experience. The staff was amazing and always so on top of what needed to get done. Throughout the wedding planning process the staff at Leona Road were always available for questions and meetings which helped with a smooth wedding planning process. The day of coordinators were such an important part of our day and helped to coordinate and set everything up so we could just enjoy our wedding morning! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leona Road and their staff! Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful and fun the venue was, how well organized everything ran, and how the staff were very attentive. I highly recommend Leona Road!
Do your wedding here!
Our wedding at Leona Road was everything we could have hoped for and more! The venue is stunning. What truly helped the day be perfect was the incredible day-of coordinator and their amazing team. They took care of everything. They did fabulous with the drinks and setup of the decor and made sure the entire day ran so smoothly. We had many comments for how smooth the day went from our guests. They kept the timeline on track, worked along side with the vendors, and handled everything behind the scenes so we could relax and fully enjoy our day. The level of care and attention to detail really showed. Everything on the day was smooth, stress-free, and absolutely beautiful. We cannot say enough good things about this venue.
Modern and Amazing
The team at Leona Road was incredibly helpful, efficient and on top of every detail throughout our wedding planning process. Their modern, elegant and open venue provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The fact that their services included a day-of coordinator, decorating and tear down, as well as prep meetings, took so much stress off of us as the couple. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding day thanks to their professionalism and attention to every aspect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Leona Road to any couple looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding experience.
Wedding Venue!
We loved working with Leona Road and the venue was perfection. Having everything from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception in one place was amazing. It was so fluid and the renovation of the building is MADE for weddings. Plus, the pics are just stunning.
