    We had our winter wedding at The Leona and it was absolutely perfect! It’s beautiful and unique with such amazing staff! Since it was cold outside, we loved that the chapel and reception area were in the same location so no need for travel. This venue produced so many gorgeous shots indoors and our guests complemented everything!
