Suzan & Ashley's Wedding

Our Story

They say the best love stories begin with friendship, and ours is no exception. What started as casual conversations and shared interests blossomed into something extraordinary. We discovered that love isn't always about grand gestures, but about the quiet moments of understanding, support, and endless laughter.

As we prepare to say "I do" at the stunning Leez Priory, we're reminded that every step of our journey has led us here - ready to celebrate not just our love, but the beautiful community of family and friends who have supported us along the way.

Important Information

Mobility & Disability

The estate of Leez Priory is old and rich in history, dating back to the 1500s. Due to its age, floors can be uneven and steps narrow or at odd heights. Please notify the bride and groom if you have any additional needs.

If you need any assistance on the day, please reach out to a member of staff who will be happy to aid you. There are areas and rooms with better mobility access - let us know as soon as possible if you would benefit from this.

Dietary Requirements

If you have any dietary requirements, please let the bride and groom know. Please detail the requirements when you RSVP and select your meal.

The catering team at Leez can alter any meal you choose. If you would like something on the menu that normally contains an allergen, please contact us - it's likely they can provide your choice without the allergen.

If you are unsure, please contact Suzan directly. We want you to enjoy your meals, please do not hesitate.

Our Wishes

This is a very important day for us and we would really appreciate if you could follow a few guidelines:

Do not wear white. Kindly refrain from wearing white on this day. We wish only the bride to feature this colour.

Express yourself! If you have a funky outfit or want to wear something a little different, please do. We enjoy people expressing their personality and do not want rigid conformity.

Respect the grounds. Only smoke in designated areas, ask the staff if you are unsure. Don't litter or damage the grounds.

Damage policy. If you are found to have damaged Leez Priory, you will be subject to the charge, not the bride and groom!

Follow directions. Please follow the directions of staff, including the photographer.

Meeting us. We aim to set a time for everyone to meet and speak with us, directed by Bronwyn. Please do not seek us out directly if we are busy - Suzan is autistic and likely to be very overwhelmed.

Take breaks. If someone or yourself needs some time out, please go to your room or find a room, go for a walk in the estate. We have access to all 40 acres and every room.

Drink freely. You do not have to drink alcohol and are not expected to. There will always be alcohol-free options as well as a small bar tab for free soft drinks. Equally, if you want to get hammered, please do!

Respect each other. We have a diverse group of friends and loved ones. Please refrain from discussing opinions which may be hurtful to others.

Wedding Ceremony

Ceremony Details

Suzan will be walking down the aisle at 1:00 PM. Please make sure you are seated when asked. Members of staff will direct you when needed.

The exact place of the ceremony will be weather dependent. Our preference is outside the tower, if raining, it will be in the coach house.

Seating Arrangements

Some seats will be pre-allocated for the parents of the couple and bridal/groom party. All other seats are free for your own selection.

Please do not sit with one chair between yourself and someone else. There will be exact chair numbers to guests and no empty seats.

Photography Policy

We kindly ask that no photos are taken from when the bride enters until the closing of the ceremony. If you wish for specific photos, please make a request of our photographer.

Real flower petals will be provided for confetti at the ceremony end. Leez has a strict policy on what is and isn't allowed. Please do not bring any of your own unless permission has been given by the bride.

Do not throw the confetti at our faces, please throw it upwards. We do not want petal filled mouths or our photos obscured by many throwing hands.

Ceremony Etiquette

Please give the newly married some time to adjust and digest what has happened, do not seek us out straight away.

The maid of honour, Bronwyn, will be your main contact if you need us. Please seek her first if we are busy, occupied, or missing from view.

Speeches

If you would like to make a speech or toast at the wedding breakfast, let us know. We welcome anyone who wishes to say kind words at our wedding.

This doesn't have to be long, in fact, not longer than a couple of minutes.
