Leon includes exclusive use of the hall, standard tables and chairs, reception tables, lighting and wifi. A projector, screen, sound system with microphone, lectern and podium can be rented through the owners' rental service, Leon Rent. All-in packages for business clients start from a base formula and can be extended with catering, overnight stays, team activities or wellness. Team activities run with a partner for groups of 6 to 126 people, indoors or outdoors.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core use. A ceremony can take place in the rural garden, with the team handling the aisle, chairs and floral decoration. The dinner follows in the hall. The hall is reserved exclusively for one party, so no other event runs on the same day. For larger guest lists, the garden has space for a tent. The venue is a partner of the House of Weddings quality label.
