"I had an absolutely amazing experience getting married at the Lesner Inn in September! Alexis was very detail oriented and everything went so smoothly. I had multiple guests/bridal party members surprised with how well everything went! The food & beverage options, as well as decor were exactly what we were looking for. We also used many of the preferred vendors recommended through the Lesner Inn and had great experiences with them all. I would highly recommend this venue!"
"My husband and I had the most PERFECT rehearsal dinner and wedding at the Lesner Inn back in September 2023. The entire Lesner Inn team went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was executed seamlessly. From the initial design coordination meetings to the tastings, we were consistently impressed. When we arrived on our wedding day, the bridal party was welcomed with champagne. This set the tone for our wedding. coordinators were attentive throughout the entire event, ensuring that my husband and I were taken care of and had the food and drinks we wanted. The food was also delicious. The appetizers were a standout with the lumpia being an absolute must have. The Hawaiian chicken bites and fried shrimp were equally delectable. The crab stuffed flounder was also another crowd pleaser. The venue itself is breathtaking. If you are in search of a picturesque waterfront location, the Lesner Inn is the perfect place. I can truly say that everyone is extremely kind and willing to invest their time to make sure that you have the most perfect wedding day. I want to extend my appreciation to Alexis, our exceptional planner and design coordinator who played an integral part of our big day. Alexis was nothing short of spectacular and we couldn’t have asked for someone better in bringing our vision come to life. She understood exactly what we wanted and was a joy to collaborate with. Not only did she excel in managing all aspects related to Lesner Inn, but she also gracefully handled any unexpected challenges that arose with other vendors, assuring us that everything would be resolved. Her dedication to all things wedding is truly remarkable. Alexis even gave us the idea and helped us plan an after-party next door at the Back deck to incorporate karaoke – in commemoration of my husband and I’s first “date”. If you are seeking top-notch wedding design and coordination, look no further, because Alexis is your go to person! Thank you again Lesner Inn for making our dreams come true!"
"My husband and I had our wedding at the Lesner Inn May 2023. We had a wonderful experience from the pre-planning meetings up until the last moments of our wedding day. Alexis and Britne were such a pleasure to work with. We truly felt like they cared about making our experience and wedding day everything we imagined and more! If you are considering hiring the day of coordination through Lesner Inn, do it! They made the whole process that much easier, and I knew our outside vendors were in good hands coordinating setting up on wedding day. Our guests have not stopped raving about how well planned and organized the evening was and the great food and drinks! We would recommend Lesner Inn and staff for ANY event!"
"The staff at Lesner is great at what they do - our event ran super smooth, Noelle was very helpful and responsive in the months leading up to the wedding, and overall we had a super great wedding thanks to the staff here! A staff member let us drop off a larger piece of decor early on the day of, which helped a lot and we were able to get in a little early, as there were no other weddings on our day. I’m sure they can’t always do this, but I was really grateful they were flexible and willing to give us a little extra time as I had family members setting up all our decor. And, of course, the deck setting is beautiful - we were able to have an outdoor wedding in July with a beautiful backdrop without the sun beating down on us. I give 4 stars because the food was just ok. We struggled to pick a menu because our first tasting was really bad. The food was incredibly bland. We had to schedule a second tasting (which we had to pay for) because there wasn’t a single entree in our first tasting that was good enough to serve. Thankfully, the food was better on the wedding day, but still not spectacular. Additionally, they have the exact same buffet menu for “events” vs “weddings” but the wedding one is 30 bucks more. If you are going to have a more expensive wedding menu I think it should be better in some way, not just more because it’s a wedding event. Lastly, our guests had a GREAT time, but the one comment we got from many guests is that the staff took the food away too quickly. Many people mentioned their dinner, cake, and drinks were removed from tables after they walked away for a few minutes. Our plates were taken twice before we were finished with them. I understand once it gets to a certain point of the night they need to start clearing, but it was frustrating to keep losing drinks and food after going to dance for a song or two. Aside from the with the minor issues above, everything was so stress free and smooth sailing and we overall had a really great wedding thanks to Noelle and the staff at Lesner Inn. I would recommend them as they are spectacular at running an event."
"Our experience at this wedding venue was truly exceptional, and we cannot express enough how much we loved every aspect of our special day. The staff at the venue, especially Noelle, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Noelle's professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her expertise and experience in wedding coordination were evident from the start, and she went above and beyond to ensure that our vision for the wedding was brought to life. No request was too big or too small for her, and she handled each step of the planning process with utmost care and dedication. Throughout the planning phase, Noelle was always available to answer any questions we had. Her responsiveness was impressive, and it gave us a sense of reassurance knowing that we could rely on her guidance and support. She took the time to understand our preferences, and her valuable suggestions and creative ideas truly enhanced the overall experience. What stood out most about Noelle was her ability to handle any wedding drama that arose with grace and tact. Weddings can be emotionally charged events, and it's not uncommon for minor hiccups to occur. However, Noelle navigated through any challenges seamlessly, putting us at ease and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The catering staff , bartending staff, and the food were also exceptional. Overall, we are incredibly grateful to the venue and its staff for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience. The combination of the beautiful venue, the top-notch staff, and Noelle's outstanding coordination made it a day we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a wedding venue that goes above and beyond to ensure your special day is everything you dreamed of and more, we wholeheartedly recommend this venue. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime!"
