Leez Priory Reviews Summary

Accessibility

Pros:

• "The venue is flexible and can accommodate bad weather too."
• "The venue is stunning - such a lovely building full of character, and beautiful grounds."
• "Leez Priory is by far one of the most scenic wedding venues in Essex."
• "Beautiful Mansion house, out in the sticks. Lovely surrounding garden which I am guessing would be amazing in the summer months."
• "A beautiful set of buildings from the first Elizabethan era set in gorgeous leafy grounds, complete with its own lake."
• "The venue is perfect the staff are very professional, polite and accommodating."
• "Beautiful wedding location. Seems smaller and more intimate that its competitors but assured it can hold between 60 to 200 people in its varied locations on site to wed."

Cons:

• "The challenge this venue has is the accessibility and amenities."
• "Every path is pea shingle which isn't friendly to wheelchair users, every room contains some sort of step on entrance/exit."
• "The small wooden ramp from the shingle car park is unsafe, steep, narrow and leads to grass not pathway, there is literally no safe paths on these grounds for a wheel user which is unheard of at wedding venues that should cater for all needs!"
• "This is not friendly to ladies in heels and is certainly not friendly to anyone in a wheelchair."
• "The venue is NOT accessible for wheelchair users anywhere on the grounds."
• "There is NO purpose made permanent ramps anywhere!"
• "This venue is advertised as having ramps to facilitate access to all ground floor rooms of the main house. This is not correct and the venue is not wheelchair accessible at all."
