She wed the 30-year-old US choreographer in front of 180 family members and pals including Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan and The Voice winner Jermain Jackman, who sang at the ceremony.
Leona told Hello mag: “It was just the most beautiful day, full of love. It was so special to be able to bring together everyone we love. There were a lot of tears.
“The room already had so much good energy and having all the love in there was really powerful.”
The wedding, which included a vegan menu and wedding cake, was moved inside at the last minute due to a storm which German-born Dennis claimed was a sign from late father Lutz, who died three weeks before.
Leona's previous boyfriend was Lou Al-Chamaa, and she set up a fashion company called LOA Clothing Ltd with him.
