My husband and I got married here in August and we had an absolutely wonderful exeprience. We worked with Noelle as our day of coordinator and she could not have been more organized. From the beginning of planning, she was responsive and full of ideas and she put us at ease. We had our ceremony on the deck and our reception in the lesner hall with about 100 guests. The venue itself is beautiful and the food was also amazing. Noelle had ample recommendations as we do not live in VB, and all of our vendors turned our perfectly. We would recommend The Lesner Inn and Noelle to anyone looking for an on the water venue and a wonderful experience!

Our wedding at the Lesner Inn was such a dream come true. We knew right when we toured this venue that it was exactly what we were looking for, plus the staff was so friendly.
The venue had the most beautiful view on both floors, and had amazing food options (which we got to taste and choose in a menu tasting meeting!). Having the food and beverage, as well as the tables and linens, included was a huge help.
We ended up booking the whole venue which in my opinion, was worth it having access to both floors. We also booked the day of coordination and we had Noelle as our coordinator. -- I cannot speak highly enough of Noelle, she was absolutely amazing and I truly couldn't have done it without her. Everything went amazing and she brought my visions to light, exactly how I pictured them. In the week leading up to the wedding, we had a detailed meeting where she gave great advice, set up exactly how the day would go, and answered all of my questions. Booking the day of coordination was extremely worth it as she got the timeline of the day perfect, everything set up, and even packed everything up into our cars at the end of the night. Noelle even dealt with all questions 'day of' so that my family and I didn't have to! I had numerous people come up to me and tell me how good of a job she did. She's truly amazing, I'm so incredibly thankful for her and her hard work.
The rest of the staff was absolutely amazing as well. Super quick and attentive in setting up, taking down and getting dinner passed out/cleaned up. It's quite the operation they have going! We were even lucky enough to have Alexis help out with the night as well, including the ceremony to help it go seamlessly and on time.
We are so thankful for the venue, the staff and for Noelle for making my vision come true. I'd absolutely recommend this venue and the coordination offerings as well!

My husband and I got married here on June 8 and the whole entire day was magical. We worked with Britne, who was an absolute angel. From the moment we first toured, she provided a wealth of knowledge, was a joy to work with, answered every question big or small, helped guide our vision, provided insights and ideas, and was just an all-around rock star. Because of her professionalism and expertise in planning, our wedding day went off without a hitch. Neither my husband nor I felt stressed or rushed on our wedding day because we knew that Britne and the Lesner Inn team had everything under control. They coordinated with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, helped build a seamless timeline and kept us on track, and honestly it was just such a joy to spend our wedding day surrounded by people who are professional but also were so kind, happy for us, and fun to be with. We worked out every single tiny detail in our planning meetings, and Britne really took the time to understand how we wanted our wedding day to go. Day of, she made sure people were where they were supposed to be and when, personally made sure people with allergies had the proper meals, kept all of our vendors moving smoothly throughout the day, and I'm positive she did hundreds of other things that we didn’t even know about to keep the event running smoothly. Throughout the wedding day, she was always nearby and ready to help if we needed her. Our wedding party and families would all say the same thing - it felt like she was always in many places at once and exactly where she needed to be to help us. Truly, if Britne (and I’m sure anyone else on the Lesner Inn team) is helping you plan your wedding, you are in the best hands and are going to have the best day!!!
Lesner Inn itself is also such a gorgeous venue. The views are stunning, the space worked perfectly, and my husband and I truly felt like it fit the vibe for “us” as a couple completely. The ceremony space was incredible and had the stunning water views we were looking for. I loved that we were able to be outside, but fully covered so that we didn’t have to worry about the weather. The cocktail hour space was gorgeous and worked out perfectly for everyone while we took photos. Finally, the reception space was absolutely perfect. It was the right amount of space that we didn’t feel crowded, but still felt very intimate. I loved the views of the water through the windows and all the light it provided.
The food was great, we got lots of great reviews of the cocktail hour appetizers and the dinner entrees. We opted to have a crush bar at our cocktail hour, which was a huge hit. We loved being able to incorporate this Virginia Beach staple for all of our guests (especially the out of towners) to enjoy. The bartender staff was incredible and so efficient. We had 150 guests and two bars and I never saw a long line at either of the bars.
All in all, I would recommend Lesner Inn to anyone looking for a venue with spectacular views and an amazing team. Truly, having an elite team working your wedding is the biggest game changer. It was so amazing to have thorough planning meetings and an expert team so that we were able to show up at the venue with everything already in motion and the event being run without myself, my husband, or our family members having to lift a finger. We trusted them wholeheartedly and they absolutely delivered everything we could have dreamed of and more. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

Our wedding at The Lesner Inn was truly a dream come true! We hosted a brunch wedding and reception, and from start to finish, the experience was beyond perfect. Alexis and her entire crew went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we envisioned and more. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness made the planning process so enjoyable. The venue itself is stunning, with gorgeous views that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The team’s expertise ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting and delicious food. We are endlessly grateful for The Lesner Inn for making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Alexis and team, for your warmth, care, and for treating our wedding like it was as important to you as it was to us!
Cheers, Sarah and Adam

We had a wonderful experience getting married at the Lesner Inn! The venue was absolutely gorgeous, from the stunning sunset deck to the waterside room for our cocktail hour, and the beautiful upstairs overlooking the water for the reception. One of our favorite moments was the tiki boat sail away—it was truly unforgettable!
Noelle was the best day-of coordinator we could have asked for. Her support and attention to detail made all the difference, especially in those final weeks leading up to our big day. Everything was perfect, and we couldn’t have done it without her.
We highly recommend the Lesner Inn and Noelle to anyone looking to tie the knot! Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

There aren't enough positive words to say about the Lesner Inn and how well our wedding went!! Alexis was our event coordinator and she was just the BEST! Everything went SO well. Their recommended vendors are amazing and they make everything incredibly easy to plan and coordinate for your special day. Everyone talked about how good the food was, how smooth everything went, and Alexis kept everything in order. Our day was amazing and so special because of Alexis and this Lesner team. Thank you!!!

As a wedding officiant who has had the honor of performing a wide variety of ceremonies—bilingual, same-sex, interfaith, and ALS—I’ve always had a great experience at The Lesner Inn. The service and staff are consistently professional, accommodating, and truly dedicated to making each event special. This venue is a wonderful choice for any couple looking for a warm and inclusive environment. Highly recommend!

What a great venue!!! Terrific to work with and Noelle made it such a delightful event. The food was OVER the top good! So accommodating for us, as we had a rare food allergy. The staff was so nice, always a smile on their faces and happy to help. We were in the Waterside Deck. What spectacular views!...and the space was beautifully done.
Ideal setting, great service but the food was soooo salty I couldn't finish the meal...
Rachel Keenan
The entire staff was so helpful throughout the entire process. The initial tour with Britne, the design services meetings with Alexis, the tasting, the rehearsal, EVERYTHING was amazing. We honestly could not have had a better wedding day. Everyone had such an amazing time! Our family didn't have to worry about all the details / logistics and they could just enjoy the day which is truly a wedding gift that we will never forget. If you are looking for a place that does it all, the Lesner Inn is definitely for you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We chose The Lesner Inn for our wedding this past July and I could not be happier that we did. The venue is gorgeous, and you cannot beat the amazing view. The food was absolutely fantastic, the staff was top notch, and our guests were blown away! When planning our wedding here, we initially decided to not have a “Day of Coordinator” as our wedding party only consisted of myself, my now husband, and my daughter. I thought with having a small wedding party that I could do this on my own. Thank goodness I changed my mind because hiring Britne was the best thing we could have done! She was absolutely amazing! Britne was super responsive, provided great suggestions, and helped me talk through everything when I started to become completely overwhelmed with planning. As it got closer to our big day, she responded to all of my panic emails quickly and put me at ease. She went above and beyond with everything. For example, a few weeks before our wedding, she was outside on the Sunset deck playing the songs for our ceremony and figuring out how long it would take for my entrance to make sure the music faded at the perfect time. No matter what I asked, big or small (like if she would help me get into my dress), she was there to help with a smile on her face. She is the reason our wedding was perfect. Following our reception, my husband and I looked at each other and both said that there is no way we could have done this without her. So, thank you to Britne and the amazing Lesner Inn staff for making our special day amazing!
