Who is Leslie Peri?

Leslie has been part of Camp Lenox for years and works at camp every summer, so she knows the property, the staff, and how things run here. She is our preferred coordinator for weddings and available for retreats and training camps.

What does Leslie do?

Start-to-finish coordination: timelines, layouts, vendor management, and on-site setup, including your rooms. Think of her as your general contractor. She does not do design, florals, or invitations.

Why book Leslie over an outside planner?

She has access to local vendor rates other planners don't, and there is zero friction with the facility or staff.

When should we loop her in?

At booking.

Do retreats and training camps need a coordinator?

Every rental needs a designated point person. Leslie can fill that role, or you can bring your own.
