Best Venue to get married at. I would highly recommend friends and family to get married at this venue. The venue is magnificent, the staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic. We could not fault anything. Very accommodating with us as we had lots of guests pulling out last minute due to Covid. Would not recommend anyone else but Leonda!!

Daniel

The Leonda venue and MEG team are amazing! From having to postpone our wedding on three occasions during the lockdowns, they were always by our side and definitely “wowed” us and our guests on our special day nearly 3 weeks ago. We couldn’t be happier :)
