Leigh Powers
Leigh is a Virginia born- NC living gal! She first dipped her toes into wedding planning in 2017 when she interned at a wedding venue under the lead planner and was instantly hooked. Leigh says “I mean, I can plan THE most important day for two people in love AND have fun? Yep, this is what I want to do for a living!”
“I have always had a niche for decorating, design, and well, LOVE. Yep, I’m a sucker for love. Even at a young age, when my Mother would have guests over for dinner parties, I was the one going over the top- creating tablescapes, scavenging for greenery and florals, rummaging through my Mom’s antiques for just the right decorative elements, and setting the table. I love color, I love details, I love people, and I love facing challenges with a smile on my face. I’m quick on my feet, I get the job done, and I love what I do. I want to bring your vision to life and take all of the stress off of you!
When she’s not planning the details of your day, you can find her hiking (ask her about the local spots!), playing guitar, reading and writing poetry, obsessively cleaning/reorganizing/redecorating her house, or in her slippers binge-watching Netflix with a glass of red.
“Leigh and the entire crew were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! First of, the venue. It is an amazing spot which will transform your wedding from great to phenomenal! The views are breathtaking and the accommodations are 5-Star. Secondly, Leigh Harrow! I could not ask for any better wedding planner! I mean literally, one does not exist. From day one she has been two steps ahead of us, she knew exactly what we wanted to make our day phenomenal! She had recommendations that we would have never thought of. Her recommendations for chef, musicians, flower artists, makeup artist, photographer and videographer were top notch! She from day one was not only our wedding planner but our friend as well. If we forgot something, she was quick to get it for us without a second thought. I just can't imagine having anyone else help us plan our wedding! She is the only one you want planning your event!!! The chef, Josh Cane is on par with any Michelin Star Chef out there. Everything from the Hors d'oeuvres to the main course, to the desert was as good as you will find in any Michelin Star rated restaurant out there. Our guests had high praises for the chef and how amazing every aspect of the culinary part of our wedding was. The rehearsal dinner was no different! It was some of the best food we could have hoped for and more. I would hire him for any event you may have! Twickenham House is the place to go for your wedding or event. I could not imagine having it anywhere else! It would not have been the same!” - Chris, Groom
“We were fortunate to have Leigh as our wedding planner and boy did she do an amazing job! I offered her a lot of creative freedom for decorating the reception hall for our big day and she did an amazing job and took my breath away. Not to mention she and all her staff were super accommodating and friendly. The grounds are beautiful, the staff helpful and kind... I highly recommend tying the knot on top of this beautiful mountain!” - Allison, Bride
