Nestled amid 40 acres of postcard-perfect parkland, it has been setting the scene for milestone occasions for decades. It is home to cottages, lakes, and barns, and you are welcome to celebrate every stage of your once-in-a-lifetime event at this exclusive-use wedding venue.

From intimate to large-scale affairs, this dedicated wedding venue can provide the backdrop for a range of dream weddings, including two-day events, elegant nuptials and showstopping celebrations.
You can exchange vows in one of eight locations, including at the Great Tower, an eye-catching space situated in the Courtyard, by the lake or in front of the house surrounded by the picturesque grounds. After, you’ll head into the Coach House Barn for dining or the Great Hall, a sophisticated room with ornate decor.
Both the Great Hall and the Coach House Barn can be used for ceremonies, with the former offering a more traditional backdrop, while the latter boasts rustic charm.
Leez Priory boasts 25 bedrooms, all of which can be exclusively reserved for you and your guests, including a Honeymoon Suite, tucked away from the house.
You’ll be granted exclusive access to all of the venue's facilities, while your Personal Wedding Manager will be on hand to ensure that everything runs like clockwork. Their range of Complete Wedding Packages means you can enjoy the wedding of your dreams.
For colder months, relax in our inviting bar and enjoy your favourite tipples or spread out into The Carriageway, drenched in the venue's rich history and adorned on either side with original 16th-century oak doors, framing the timeless charm.
