It's been a month since our wedding and I think I'm finally ready to write a review.
Overall the venue is stunning and there are tons of indoor and outdoor options. How you use the space is pretty customizable. We got married 10/20 at gatehouse and the ivy was a deep, beautiful red. Our reception was very fun and we danced the night away!
When you book here, you're assigned a wedding coordinator who is more than a day of coordinator but not exactly a wedding planner. Their job is to be a go between for vendors to take the stress off of the couple who is planning. Once we got into planning, the coordinator only had a small list of "preferred vendors" for Lionsgate, which she would help coordinate with. The preferred vendors were more expensive than average and not really our taste as a queer couple. So, a lot of the planning fell to us. If you get married here, my advice would be to hire a wedding planner anyway.
Note that if you book here you have to use their preferred liquor vendor (party liquor) as well as hire a Lionsgate preferred DJ. You can hire any other vendors you'd like. When you ask for prices, make sure to ask for hidden fees and costs. We have had a couple of surprises in our bills and deposits.
The most magical venue and a complete support team to help make the day run smoothly. Not only is this venue stunning in every way, but access to their table settings and amazing coordinators is so worth it. Alaina was my coordinator and was an absolute dream and literally already did things before even asked. She's such a pro and will be your biggest cheerleader throughout the entire wedding. I saved a lot of money on decor because you just don't need it with this venue. Linens and table settings included. I also saved by booking an off season wedding date. You also get access to the venue in the future for photos etc.
Lionsgate was the perfect place for our wedding! They outside area were the ceremony takes place is simple, but the beauty of everything around it makes it breathe taking. Inside is absolutely gorgeous and you get so much at Lionsgate for a really great price!
The best thing about Lionsgate, is that you get a wedding coordinator, which makes it so much easier because they handle a lot of the big stuff for you. Our wedding coordinator was Alex and she was absolutely wonderful! She made our day run so smoothly and listed to everything we wanted. I know our wedding day was so perfect and beautiful because of her and the work she did!
The venue is so unique and absolutely beautiful! Our wedding coordinator, Hannah, did an amazing job! She helped us with all the planning and made our vision for our wedding come to life! I would absolutely recommend Lions Gate to all my friends and family!
Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous here. Alaina our planner was outstanding! Highly recommend!
I got married at the Gatehouse on September 1, 2024 and we had the best time!! I cannot recommend it enough! They have a list of preferred vendors that you can choose to work with, or you can also work with any other vendor you would like. The advantage of choosing one of their preferred vendors is that your assigned wedding coordinator will do all of the coordination/communication with that vendor and the vendors are frequently at Lionsgate so they know the layout and processes very well. We used their preferred vendors for florals, photography, the photo booth, lighting & design, the stage rental, catering, and alcohol (you HAVE to use their preferred vendor for alcohol) and we LOVED THEM ALL!!
Even though we only had ~100 guests, we still went with the Gatehouse. It honestly felt like the perfect space for that many people. We had lots of room to move around and dance, we had room for the band to set up, the bar in there is amazing, the outdoor ceremony space & patio are BEAUTIFUL, and the getting ready rooms for the bridesmaids and groomsmen are truly amazing.
Lionsgate also puts on really fun date nights that you can go to while planning your wedding & even after you have already been married. And they are completely free! My husband and I have loved going to those.
Overall, we had the best time ever at the Gatehouse. I would book it again a million times over. I really think it is one of the best wedding venues in all of Colorado!
Very disappointed in the condition of the Gatehouse the day of our wedding. The grass was completely dead, wasps were swarming the entrance, and the bridal suite floor was filthy.
I am the father-of-the-bride. My wife, and the couple, decided on this venue and let me know after the contract was signed. They fell in love with the place as soon as they saw it. I wasn't completely comfortable with some of the terms of the contract, but it was already signed. I wasn't about to cause a big fuss about anything. I raised a couple concerns with my wife, just to make her aware, then it was just "wait and see". I did jump online to read reviews from as many different sources as I could find. They were mostly positive, but not all. Again, it was a matter of "wait and see". It's important to point out two things:
1.) I have no idea what "is" and what "is not" standard in venue contracts.
2.) I was leery and highly critical walking into that venue for rehearsal, and the next day to start setting up.
EVERY ASPECT OF THIS EVENT WAS EXTRAORDINARY! THE VENUE WAS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR IN EVERY WAY! This is no exaggeration. Keep in mind, I basically walked in there with a chip on my shoulder. The venue was immaculate, inside and out. Lionsgate isn't a hotel with multi-use venue space. Weddings is what they do. They have it dialed-in to perfection. We used some of their vendors and some that we hired ourselves. We hired the caterers from outside the venue's preferred vendor list. This was my main concern because we were contractually obligated to use venue staffing to handle the food once it was delivered to the venue-at an additional cost!
Fear not people. The venue staff was outstanding! Our caterer prepared a delicious spread. The venue staff served it beautifully. They were all extremely well-mannered and polite, but confident in the way they performed their duties. Efficient but not hurried, attentive but never imposing, on top of every detail but seemingly invisible. Again, I am not exaggerating. They were THAT good. But that was nothing. The coordinator, provided by the venue, wasn't going to be outdone by her own support staff. It would be unfair to set the standard for excellence, based on her example. I am not kidding. From the moment we walked in to set up, until the final trip out the door, my mind was clicking. My wife worked hard to plan and prepare this event for our daughter and she had a vision. She expected my enthusiastic devotion to her every desire and she deserved it because her efforts were truly selfless. In my effort to stay 1 step ahead, I was constantly gathering details and looking for answers. Our coordinator, NATALIE, was right there for 10 consecutive hours. You know what she did really well? She COORDINATED! She was a calming presence. She knew every answer. She probably knew my next question before I did. My wife had chosen some specific wares, related to dessert, that we provided and I had to assemble. I went to Natalie when I couldn't locate them. The task was done. She had her staff wash and assemble everything. It was staged and ready to go.
I'm thinking about some of the unfavorable reviews that I read prior to our event. Now that I have an informed perspective, I can appreciate all the contract terms. I wasted no time contacting Lionsgate to recognize the efforts of Natalie and her staff. The response I received reveals a sincere dedication to excellence that runs throughout the entire organization. These people are golden. Andrew Pascoe-Northglenn, CO
We got married at the end of July and had the most amazing day at the Gatehouse at Lionsgate. Our coordinator, Natalie, was incredible and so helpful. From start to finish, the process was efficient & so easy. Natalie's support in finding us vendors and aligning all the details for the actual day of the wedding were so professionally done, and we absolutely could not have done without her. The venue itself was easily the most beautiful of all the ones we considered. All of the event staff perfectly executed our vision. The Chandelier Barn was the perfect spot for first look & photos and the grounds themselves were full of gorgeous details. We really can't say enough good things about the experience and how special the Lionsgate team and Natalie in particular made our day.
I recently had the immense pleasure of working with Alaina Reis, the Event Coordinator at Lions Gate Event Center in Lafayette, Colorado, for my wedding, and I can confidently say she is nothing short of magical. From start to finish, Alaina demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed.
Alaina’s positivity and energy are truly contagious. She approached every interaction with a warm smile and a can-do attitude, which made the entire planning process not only stress-free but genuinely enjoyable. Her ability to coordinate all aspects of the event seamlessly is a testament to her incredible organizational skills and attention to detail.
One of the standout qualities of Alaina is her exceptional follow-through. Every question was answered promptly, every concern addressed with care, and every aspect of the event handled with the utmost professionalism. Her vendor management was impeccable, effortlessly liaising with all our service providers to ensure everything ran smoothly on the big day.
Kindness and professionalism are at the core of Alaina’s service. She treated us with such genuine warmth and respect, making us feel like we were her top priority at all times. Her ability to make everyone feel special and valued is a rare gift, and it added a personal touch to our wedding that we will cherish forever.
In essence, Alaina brought a touch of magic to our wedding day. Her dedication, expertise, and infectious positivity created an unforgettable experience. If I could, I would get married again just to have the opportunity to work with Alaina once more. I am beyond impressed, and I wholeheartedly recommend Alaina Reis to anyone planning their special day. She truly is a gem, and I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the joy of working with her.
Lionsgate was one of only two venues we toured and we knew it was The One for us from the moment we pulled into the parking lot. Every inch of the grounds, the ceremony sites, and the reception spaces were so beautiful and felt so intentionally designed to curate endless photo ops. We held our ceremony outdoors and reception indoors at the Gatehouse and received so many comments from our guests about how beautiful it was.
On the planning side of things, all I can say is that as a bride, I wondered why I never related to any social media posts about being stressed or juggling vendors or needing spreadsheets; and that is because we had our coordinator, Alaina, in our corner. Lionsgate has a streamlined invoicing method that keeps everything super clear and organized, and Alaina handled all of that so that we could focus our energy on the special details. On top of that, Alaina was our biggest cheerleader through the entire process. She made us feel so good about every decision we made and our planning timeline, and rolled with every change we made. We would not have seen the vision we had come to life the way it did without her help and support. Our wedding day itself was absolutely perfect and that is in large part because of Alaina’s attention to detail and ability to keep things moving on schedule. She was an absolute joy to work with and we cannot recommend Lionsgate enough!
My husband and I had the absolute best experience with Lionsgate Event Center for our wedding in November 2023. Our coordinator, Alaina, did a phenomenal job making our vision come to life and created a dream wedding for us! The entire planning process and the day of the wedding went so smoothly. Alaina and the entire staff made everything so fun and enjoyable. We feel so grateful to have gotten married at such a special and beautiful place!
We had our wedding at Lionsgate (The Dove House) in Sept of 2023, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the second we stepped inside, we knew it was our venue. Lauren was so helpful and flexible with getting us locked in. Madeline was our planner and she was the PERFECT addition to our day, making sure everything went off without a hitch. The venue itself is stunning and required very little additional decor, which was so helpful when planning. The vendors recommended by Lionsgate were also wonderful, and our wedding was truly more perfect than we ever could have imagined. Our guests had an amazing time and were well looked after by all of the staff. Would 100% recommend to any couple looking to have a fantastic celebration of love!
We had our wedding at The Dove House and couldn’t have imagined a better experience! Madeline was our planner and did such an amazing job. She was on top of all vendor communication, had the best suggestions for finishing touches and made sure everything turned out beautifully. 100% recommend this venue and Madeline!
We had a flawless experience with Lionsgate Event Center! The staff is exceptional, professional, friendly and efficient. The grounds are gorgeous and each of the venues is uniquely beautiful. We held our wedding in the Chandelier Barn and it was everything I dreamed our wedding would be. The Chandelier Barn is breath takingly stunning!! The Gatehouse was perfect for our dinner reception too. The entire team is amazing, most specifically Hanna, our wedding coordinator. She was incredible to work with, she made everything so easy and her attention to detail is impressive! Hanna was immediately responsive in communicating with us and her professionalism is top notch. I was not stressed and did not worry about anything throughout the planning process, and on the day of our wedding. Everything flowed perfectly, and Hanna was in charge of it all. She made great recommendations and suggestions when we needed them and made the planning process so smooth. I would highly recommend the Lionsgate Event Center as a venue for any special occasion. And I would 100% recommend that you request Hanna as your coordinator!
My husband and I just said "I do" at Lionsgate! What a beautiful, fun and unique venue! Aside from the atmosphere, one of the reasons we booked was because of everything they provide, including a wedding coordinator! Our wedding planner was Natalie. She was so patient with all the changes and requests we threw her way, also our friends and family can be a bit rowdy and she remained kind and patient with them lol. She went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect and she helped with cleaning up and packing up our belongings in such a careful manner. We would highly recommend her and Lionsgate!
I met Lauren at a local bridal expo after finding the venue on the knot. Our good friends got married there the year before and both of us had such an incredible experience from start to finish. Hanna was our coordinator and she was so available and quick to answer questions and help that it felt like we were the only couple she was working with. We brought in a lot of our own vendors but wish we had used their recommendations for catering. The Gatehouse was our dream come true
We LOVED the Lionsgate venue for our wedding. The venue and the property was beautiful. Lionsgate provided a coordinator, Alaina Reis, who was so easy to work with. She made every step easy and seamless up to and including the day of our wedding (we miss her already!) . Lionsgate has a list of vendors that they work with. Having that list made it easy to find great vendors, so every facet of our wedding was top-notch and done right. We would 100% recommend to get married at Lionsgate Event Center!
My husband andI got married at Lionsgate on October 13, 2023. Not only is every single venue stunning, but the staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful! My husbandand I were fortunate enough to work with Madeline. Madeline answered all of our questions and really understood our vision. Madeline also helped us select caterers, and made sure we were on track to have everything done in time. Our wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined becuase of Lionsgate and Madeline.
I would 100% recommend having your wedding at Lionsgate Event Center! Alaina Reis was wonderful to work with! We only had a few months to plan our wedding, and Alaina was super easy to work with and made this short timeline stress-free. We had a Friday the 13th wedding with some Halloween decor, and Alaina helped us make our vision come true! The venue itself was so gorgeous, and we had so many guests complimenting us on their whole experience.
We booked our wedding venue and reception at the Lionsgate Event Center, at The Gatehouse and this was the perfect choice! This venue is beautiful inside and outside. The outdoor ceremony set up was simple and elegant. The indoor reception had a stunning stained glass window backdrop, vaulted ceilings and beautiful wooden decor. In addition to the venue itself being wonderful, we were assigned a wedding coordinator, Hanna Stimac, who made planning our wedding so much easier! Hanna coordinated between myself and our vendors; she provided quotes from the various vendors we were considering, helped us get the best prices and solidified our vendor contracts. Hanna coordinated with our vendors prior to and on our wedding day … all we really had to do was to show up and get married … Hanna took care of the rest! Not only was Hanna handling all of our vendor coordinations, but she also took the time to answer the many many emails I sent her, containing what was likely hundreds of questions, throughout our planning process. If you are considering The Lionsgate Event Center for your wedding and/or special event I highly recommend booking them!!!
Wow! I got married at the Gatehouse in September and genuinely have only good things to say about the entire experience. From the initial venue tour, everyone I came in contact with was kind and helpful. Hanna was our wedding planner and exceeded our expectations. She was always so timely with responding to emails and had the best suggestions staying within budget. She truly made the whole wedding planning experience fun and as stress-free as possible. Also, many of my guests commented on how amazing and kind the Lionsgate staffing was the night of the wedding. I highly recommend the Gatehouse to any couple!!
We highly recommend this venue for your wedding, shower, parties, or anything you need. You have three different venue feels to choose from in one location. Great for all occasions. We looked at countless venue locations for our wedding ranging from Colorado Springs, Denver, Estes Park, and a destination wedding. We kept coming back to this venue and fell in love with the location and those who work there. Plus if you use their preferred vendors your coordinator with handle all contracts, contacts, and payment. Honestly it was so nice paying all our vendors through Lionsgate. There are getting ready rooms for guys and girls which are very spacious. It is also dog friendly! Lauren was our first contact at the venue. She made sure all my many of questions were answered and even when we ran into each other at bridal shows she remember us and asked how everything was going. Next we had Natalie as our coordinator. Natalie was on top of everything before, during, and after our wedding. She made everything go so smooth even with some hiccups getting started that day. She checked in on us during the wedding bringing us cocktails and food since we were so busy. Over all it was a time our guests and us will never forget!
Excellent for having the wedding of your dreams with minimal stress. Me and my now wife explored this venue first, then looked at all the other venues in Denver, and then came back here because no other could compare. Their coordinators are skilled at what they do, Natalie did a fantastic job coordinating our wedding. Their staff is always so nice and the vibes are great. The prettiest venue and our guests were completely wowed. Highly recommend for your special day.
I absolutely loved getting married here. It was beautiful and the planning was seamless. Our planner was Hanna and she was absolutely phenomenal. We booked this venue site unseen as we were getting married in a different city. They worked with our schedules to ensure that everything was taken care of and thoroughly explained. We decided to go with there preferred vendors, though it’s not required, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. Food was incredible! Ou photographer, adorable! The dj and photo booth, perfection! The bar service, impeccable! All this to say I loved our wedding, it was so beautiful and stress free. I also loved our wedding planner, Hanna Stimac. She was absolutely incredible and made the day that much more fun. I highly recommend tYje Gatehouse.
The BEST wedding venue. Our wedding was beautiful and tan so smooth. Our wedding coordinator Hanna Stimac was amazing. She was timely with her communication and planning leading up the wedding. She was patient when planning. The day of she made everything flow smoothly and with ease. Our wedding turned out beautiful not nobly evacuate the gatehouse is beautiful in instead but our coordinator also had a lot to do with this. AMAZING!
My husband and I got married at the Gatehouse at Lionsgate Event Center in mid-July 2023, and it was AMAZING! Our coordinator, Natalie, was absolutely incredible!! She was so friendly and made the whole planning process fun! Natalie knows SO much and had info and ideas for every question or thought we brought to her! We had 3 meetings with her in person at Lionsgate leading up to the wedding, but we also sent her so many emails with questions that she always responded to so quickly! We were able to customize everything and make the wedding perfect for us! On the day of, Natalie was so helpful and just made everything run so smoothly! The venue is absolutely GORGEOUS - we got sooo many compliments from guests about it all! Our ceremony was outside in the beautiful grassy/garden area, then we went inside the Gatehouse for the reception. The stained glass and wood accents everywhere were beautiful, and it was such a nice, unique space! We had about 120 guests and had plenty of room for dinner tables, bar area, food station tables, and a huge dance floor that was full all night long! There were also two getting ready rooms - one beautiful one for the girls and one huge, fun room for the guys with a pool table, poker table, TV/game system! Both my husband and I enjoyed our getting ready areas so much with our wedding party and also went back into them during the night if we needed to grab anything we stored in there (like my change of shoes for the reception). We also booked the Chandelier Barn as a rainy weather backup for our ceremony (didn't end up needing it for that, but we went there to sign our marriage license after the ceremony and take some pics, and it was gorgeous!). The whole grounds is just so beautiful - you don't even really need to get your own decorations because the venue is so lush and beautiful on its own! There's so many great spots to take pictures too! Everything through Lionsgate was amazing - they were so helpful throughout the entire year-long planning process and day of! I would 100% recommend Lionsgate (and Natalie!!) to anyone planning a wedding in the Denver surrounding area!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lionsgate Event Center, and specifically our phenomenal coordinator, Alaina. My (now) husband and I got married at The Gatehouse in early July 2023 and had a very positive experience, from start to finish. As soon as we confirmed our date with Lionsgate we were quickly paired with Alaina as our coordinator. Alaina was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process - helping us choose and book various vendors and working in tandem with vendors we chose on our own. Alaina was a calming figure during the planning process, always very responsive and accommodating to our somewhat endless requests! We had a final planning meeting with Alaina about a month out from our wedding which was also hugely helpful in terms of finalizing last minute details and hashing out the schedule for the weekend. When the wedding weekend approached, Alaina was at the top of her game! She was so pleasant to all of our guests during both the rehearsal and the wedding. Everything turned out even better than we anticipated on our wedding day and Alaina handled everything. She is a true professional and I could not think of a better person to have helped coordinate our wedding. Thank you Alaina, and Lionsgate staff, for making our wedding so special and memorable!
We had our wedding on 7/8/2023 at the Dove House and Chandelier Barn. I loved working with Hanna Stimac one of the wedding coordinators she was everywhere she needed to be and all of the vendors worked well with her. The preferred list of vendors at Lionsgate is amazing.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Dove House at Lionsgate on 7/3/23, and it was everything I could've ever hoped for! I was not the little girl who planned her wedding, I never thought I would get married to be honest, so having such a perfect day meant the world to me. From the start, the staff made everything seamless. We got to work with the incredible Hanna, and she was always quick to respond to emails whether they were simple questions or minor freak outs. She kept us on our timeline from design room meetings to timeline and layout to our rehearsal and finally the big day. The interesting thing about weddings is that, more than likely, you've never planned one before, so having someone who listens to your not so clear vision and helps it come alive is the best thing ever. We cannot recommend Lionsgate and their vendors enough. If we had to do it all over again, we'd do it all the same because we were able to enjoy every minute of that day. That is something I won't ever take for granted.
We just had our wedding 6/23/23 and are still dreaming about it! We were looking for a place near Denver, that was still accessible but not in the city and Lionsgate fit all of those criteria. On top of that the team was so incredibly helpful and kind (our coordinator Madeline was fantastic!!!) and made all of our visions for the day come to life. Working with Lionsgate took a lot of stress out of paying vendors, keeping track of timeline, etc that you would get in a different venue selection which truly helped us to be present on our big day. June 23rd will be one we remember forever!
Lionsgate was a dream come true! The planning process with Natalie was a breeze. I never once stressed about the day or the vision!! Seeing everything set up took my breath away! I will forever recommend this venue to anyone who wants a stress free wedding day!
We recently had our wedding in early June at the Dove House at Lionsgate Event Center, it was an amazing experience from the day we signed the contract to today. The owners/wedding coordinators are the most supportive and friendly people you will find. We were matched with Hanna as our coordinator and she did an above and beyond incredible job. Lionsgate gave us recommended vendors to consider, which made the process easier, especially knowing they were familiar with the venue. She made our wedding day perfect and overall a stress free experience for us while she managed the entire day of timeline. The venue itself is also stunning with plenty of great photo spots indoor/outdoor with beautiful lighting at Dove House! The natural beauty makes it easy to decorate.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lionsgate and our coordinator Alex.
The venue is absolutely stunning with rich woods and gorgeous decor. We didn't feel the need to decorate much because it was already so stunning. It also has lots of great and different photo op spots!
Our coordinator Alex was UNPARALLELED in her attentiveness and support through the whole process and the day of the wedding. She radiates professionalism, kindness, and genuine care and you can tell she genuinely loves making each and every wedding day special and perfect for her couples.
We were a bit eager to get planning started and Alex was so patient with our emails and questions. On the day of from set-up to tear down she were there to make sure everything went smoothly! She made sure we had food and drinks throughout the entire event and forced us to take a 25 minute dinner break to eat (which was so appreciated)! I can have planning and hands on control tendencies and was able to completely let go and enjoy the day thanks to Alex!
On top of all of this Lionsgate provided an A list of vendors to work with but also gave us full flexibility to bring in our own vendors if wanted.
I truly cannot more highly recommend Lionsgate for your wedding or next special event!
We had our reception at the dove house and it could not have been more perfect. Hanna was our coordinator, she was such an incredible help keeping things organized and making sure everything was as we pictured. Couldn’t thank her enough for all her hard work. The dove house was everything we could have ever dreamed of!
We cannot recommend Lionsgate enough! While the venue itself was an absolute dream, our coordinator Hanna was the best! She was helpful
Throughout the entire planning process and always available to answer questions for this indecisive bride. Day of she helped us maintain a very necessary calm despite any and all craziness and she truly made our day absolutely wonderful! We are so thankful to her as well as the entire staff at Lionsgate for helping our fairytale wedding become a reality!
We had our wedding at the Gatehouse at Lionsgate with the help of our OUTSTANDING coordinator Hanna, and it was truly the most amazing day! Lionsgate has such character compared to other venues and provided for some absolutely beautiful photos. We even had guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, which we feel was in big part to the venue. Our coordinator, Hanna, was absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond to questions and helped us with so many of the details, and provided some wonderful suggestions. Hanna’s expertise was a huge weight off our shoulders during planning and especially on the day of the wedding. Everything went seamlessly – we had guests tell us they had never been to a more organized wedding. Lionsgate also has wonderful preferred vendors that they work with, and we ended up going with pretty much everyone we met with on their recommendation (besides a few of our friends we went with in certain areas). They also have a number of decorations and signs that we could use for free, which was awesome. We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more talented and helpful coordinator and staff. We already miss working with them!
We had our wedding at The Gatehouse at Lionsgate and with the help of Madeline, our wonderful coordinator, everything turned out beautifully! The venue is amazing on its own, but she really helped bring everything to life, including her help with finding all our vendor partners within our price range. We absolutely could not have done it without her. From initial planning to final day-of details, she was helpful every step of the way. The venue looked just as we had imagined the day of and everything ran so smoothly. My husband and I just had a blast!
My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Dove House at Lionsgate Event Center. We worked with Madeline, and she was absolutely incredible! The venue was beautiful with all of the fall foliage in bloom, and Madeline made sure to assist us with some last-minute hiccups to ensure that our special day ran smoothly. We are so incredibly grateful for Madeline and the Lionsgate staff. They truly made it an unforgettable day, and we would go back in a heartbeat if we could do it all again.
Lionsgate Event Center was amazing. We worked with Alaina and she was absolutely incredible. She made the entire process so simple and easy for us, which was especially important as we were planning the wedding from out of state. I cannot say enough kind words about Alaina or Lionsgate, as they made our wedding day perfect. Everything went off without a hitch and was so seamless and Alaina made sure that everything was 100% taken care of the day of. We felt extremely confident and comfortable with Alaina running the show and she did a better job than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you so much, Alaina and Lionsgate, for making our day so perfect and for all the support along the way!
This venue is amazing! My husband and I got married at the Dove House this previous Friday and it was the most perfect day. Natalie was our wedding planner and she truly did everything she possibly could to make sure we had the best day ever with a smile on her face. I couldn't imagine the stress that comes from being a wedding planner but she makes it look easy!
This venue is absolutely perfect and the staff is even better! My husband and I never got to have a wedding, and when we found Lionsgate we knew it was the only venue out there for us. We had our ceremony in the chandelier barn and it was STUNNING! The ceremony was everything I had dreamed our wedding would be. We then had our reception in the Dove House which was amazing! On top of the gorgeous venue, our coordinator Natalie made everything a breeze. She was so attentive and made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. Do not miss out on getting this venue!!! There's a reason this venue has such high ratings and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!
There's not a ton we can say that hasn't already been said in other reviews, but the hype is so well earned. The Dove House was gorgeous, the entire property is beautiful, all the staff was friendly and helpful, our coordinator, Alaina, was the best, and every single vendor she recommended to us fit our budget nicely, and completely knocked it out of the park (photographer, DJ, caterer, florist). Everyone from little kids to the older guests had an amazing time.
They say little things always go wrong at weddings, but we have to say they didn't this time. Or at least Alaina took care of it so swiftly, we didn't even notice. It was honestly perfect. Thank you Lionsgate & Alaina!
How in the world would we have managed to get married without Lionsgate?! A "full package" venue was 100% worth it and their website doesn't lie that they made the process entirely stress-free. We got to focus on our fun & personal details while we knew Alaina (best wedding coordinator EVER!!) would take care of the rest.
Our favorite guest feedback: The layout of The Dovehouse made the wedding feel like a very fancy house party. Every room & every corner of the space had amazing little details and fun things to do. This created a "choose your own adventure" wedding experience for our guests, allowing them to enjoy our special day in the ways they most enjoyed.
The Gatehouse at Lionsgate was the only venue I walked through that I could actually picture events of my wedding day happening. It is such a gorgeous venue and all the employees make for such a positive experience. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Plus, booking this venue also includes a wedding coordinator. She helped with big planning all the way down to small details. There are many package options to meet each couples individual needs. Please go get married at Lionsgate Event Center!!
They had everything we needed and were so helpful with our last minute changes due to covid. It was a beautiful and fun place to get married! The chickens were top notch. Alaina handled everything beautifully and helped so much the day of.
Hanna and the rest of the team at Lionsgate are incredible! She helped us with everything from finding vendors to a creating a timeline for wedding day. With all of her help, our wedding day was completely stress free! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect!
The gatehouse was an absolute DREAM!! The gardens, the building, and the day was everything my husband and I could have asked for! Madeline was our coordinator and helped us realistically create our vision! If you are looking to create the most magical moments, give lionsgate a visit; they absolutely work to accommodate you and everything you dream of for your wedding day!
My daughter was just married on Friday June 24, 2022. It was beautiful! All our worries and doubts were put to rest and it was perfect! Madeline was our Coordinator and she got my daughter's vision and she got her dream wedding.
The venue is gorgeous and my daughter is very detail oriented and it was PERFECT! Thanks to all at Lionsgate Event Center
Lionsgate Event Center was the perfect place for our wedding. We were located at the Gatehouse and Hanna was our wedding coordinator. I have only good things to say about Hanna and that staff that works at Lionsgate. They really do pour over every detail and make the entire experience as stress free as possible. Leading up to the wedding, Hanna went over all the details of the layout of the venue to the timeline and her expertise was extremely helpful with getting everything planned. On the day of, Hanna was there every step of the way to make sure everything was going as planned. She was very attentive to every need and she was great at cuing us to what should happen next. I was so nervous about the entire wedding process and Hanna really took away all those nerves and I couldn't be happier about how the entire wedding turned out. Thank you so much Hanna and Lionsgate - I hope to be back again to take more photos at your beautiful venue in the future. You made our special day something to remember and I'll always be so thankful!
My husband and I got married at the Gatehouse and it was amazing in every way! We worked with Alaina, and from the start she was incredibly helpful. She made the planning so stress-free for us. She coordinated everything, recommended many vendors, and was extremely helpful! Our wedding day was beyond perfect. Everything went so smoothly, and the venue was absolutely beautiful :) our friends and family have not stopped talking about our wedding day and how wonderful it was! We are so glad we chose Lionsgate for our marriage. HUGE shoutout to Alaina for being such an amazing coordinator. We will forever recommend Lionsgate :)
This venue is amazing! …almost as amazing as our coordinator, Alaina. Because of her, our wedding day from start to finish went flawlessly - it was like a dream! Know you are in awesome hands if you decide to hold your event here!
We had our 10 year anniversary party at the Dove House and it was everything we had hoped it would be and more! From the initial planning to the actual event execution, we could not have been happier with the process.
The wedding was so beautiful and special! The Gatehouse and Chandelier Barn are so unique and full of character! We got so many compliments on the venue. People really loved it. The staff is excellent- everything done to perfection, including many things I had not imagined being taken care of. Natalie, our wedding coordinator was outstanding, and so helpful and flexible as our vision and dates changed. We loved being able to move from the barn, to the outdoor patio, and then to the ballroom for dinner and dancing. The band sounded amazing in the space, and the layout was spacious and beautiful. The whole planning process was easy. They streamline it with a detailed online planner, a design room, and many examples of options. We couldn't be happier with Lionsgate! You won't be disappointed!
Wow-Factor - Phenomenal - Utterly Uh-MAZING!!
My fiance and I held our ceremony and reception at Lionsgate Event Center (Gate House) We worked with Natalie Mercier who was an absolute GEM! Our planning took 3 years (Thanks to a postponement due to COVID) but was completely well worth the wait! Natalie was always responsive and truly worked to make our vision come true. I will never forget stepping into the venue on the day of the wedding and seeing it all come together. Natalie and Lionsgate WELL exceeded our expectations, right down to the tiniest last detail. So many of our guests even said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, hands down! The venue is incredible, the staff knows EXACTLY what they are doing and if you want a fairytale wedding, book with Lionsgate! They are incredible at what they do!
We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the Lionsgate (the Gatehouse and the Chandelier Barn) and could not have been happier. Their staff was amazing from start to finish and they were so incredibly kind and accommodating. Alaina was our wedding planner and was on top of every detail, very prompt with communications, helped coordinate all of our outside vendors, and gave us awesome ideas to incorporate throughout our wedding. As an event planner myself, I was initially a bit worried handing over the reigns to someone else but she did a better job than I could have ever dreamed of doing. Thank you Alaina and Lionsgate staff!!
Amazing experience planning and having our wedding ceremony + reception @ Lionsgate! The staff is AMAZING! Madeline was our coordinator and was so kind, knowledgable + so responsive so any questions / concerns! She genuinely cared about our experience and that meant the world!
My husband and I had our reception in Lionsgate's Gatehouse, and it was even better than expected. Everything was so beautiful! Our coordinator Alaina was so helpful from the beginning of planning through our sparkler departure, and Lionsgate is truly all-inclusive. All we provided were those little extra touches that were special to us. Alaina helped us find great vendors and was really helpful in working with the vendors we brought on board ourselves. We can't recommend Lionsgate enough!
Lionsgate was about the 7th venue we toured when we were looking, and we fell in love with it instantly. We decided to go with The Dove House, and we picked this for a variety of reasons, but most importantly: We wanted a place with a lot of natural beauty (less decorating for us!), and a venue that in general made things easier on us! Alaina was our coordinator, and having a day of coordinator provided by the venue made all the difference. Alaina was amazing and reduced my stress by so much by helping us find and contact vendors, set up everything, kept track of what decorations we would need (as the venue has some available for use). The day of the wedding, I did nothing but sit back and enjoyed myself, which in general is hard for me to do as I am very type A and generally don't trust people to set this sort of thing up the way I want. Alaina took care of everything and had beautiful attention to detail. We have no regrets at all and would choose this place over again.
We used Lionsgate Event center for our wedding and honestly couldn't be happier with the whole process start to finish and the results! Hanna was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. Leading up to our wedding all the meetings were efficient, Hanna was very responsive to our many emailed questions, and overall it was just easy to plan a wedding with them. I'm so happy we choose Lionsgate it truly made for a stress free experience. The fact that they include a coordinator for the whole process not just the day of was a life saver. I was not someone who had their wedding already planned out, I needed the help and Hanna definitely made the planning process so much easier! On the day of Hanna was so on top of EVERYTHING. We didn't have a single problem and she was so attentive and great with direction. The venue itself is beautiful and our photos are amazing! I can't even count how many of our guests mentioned how great the venue was. I really can't come up with anything I would have wanted done differently, it was perfect! I would highly recommend Lionsgate to anyone looking for a stress-free venue!
Lionsgate was the absolute perfect venue!! The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and our wedding coordinator, Alaina was phenomenal to work with! We planned our wedding out of state and they were so accommodating and willing to work with us. Alaina was so knowledgeable about vendors and helped narrow down our choices based on our vision. She helped our dream wedding come together flawlessly! The staff was so kind and helpful during the whole day. They were incredible to work with and our guests raved about how beautiful it was! I would highly recommend Alaina and all the staff at Lionsgate! Our wedding would not have been the same without them!
This place was welcoming and awesome from the beginning. Both Lauren and Natalie helped me and my new husband feel at ease both before and during our wedding. We loved the decor of both buildings and found it difficult to choose between the Dovehouse or the Gatehouse, but you can’t go wrong either way. The help with planning abs coordination they offer makes it relatively stress-free throughout the whole experience. Big props to this place and their staff for making our big day so magical!
We absolutely loved our venue and our planner was amazing! Hanna made everything run so smooth and was always quick to answer our questions during the planning process!
We recently had our wedding at the Lionsgate Event Center - Gate House. It was a perfect day and we loved everything about Lionsgate and their staff. Hanna was our wedding planner and helped with every step along the way from the minute we booked. She had plenty of recommendations and assisted with all of our special requests. They were able to accommodate our large guest list and there was plenty of room at the venue for everyone. Highly recommend having your special day here like we did!
My husband and I got married on 09/23/2020. Our wedding planner was Alaina Reis, She is amazing and made my day extra special. I recommend her and the venue to anyone that I will come in contact with. Everything was amazing including all the vendors they recommended. They also have so many extras that helped the day before extra special too. 😍🥰❤️
Love
Jacob & Torrie
We had a wonderful experience working with Lionsgate (Gate House) and Natalie as our coordinator. Lionsgate was accommodating, flexible, responsive, and made planning a wedding from out of state as easy as possible. The venue is beautiful, and all of their experience with weddings made planning ours that much easier. Natalie provided great recommendations for vendors, was helpful throughout, and ensured that our wedding was exactly what we had imagined. Thank you to Natalie and the entire Lionsgate team!
Lionsgate is the absolute best place to have your wedding. We got married at the Dove House at Lionsgate and it was absolutely amazing. Everything we wanted plus more. Especially if you want a unique venue that has an intimate feel. And the grounds are just amazing. So beautiful with so much greenery, flowers and a million places to take the best pictures. Beyond the venue itself, you get a wedding coordinator! Hanna was absolutely amazing! She ensured that our wedding day went perfectly. She was super helpful in coordinating so many details. And was always quick to answer our random questions. If you are looking for a beautiful venue and great people to help you plan your wedding, Lionsgate is definitely the place for you!
You can't go wrong by going with Lionsgate and getting paired with Alaina as your coordinator--we are so grateful! The venue is stunning and Alaina is everything you could want or need in a coordinator. We had a daylong event with a Christian ceremony in the morning and a Hindu ceremony in the afternoon/evening and she was so organized that it all went without any problems. I can't imagine this day without her and the Lionsgate crew.
We recently had our wedding at the gatehouse and can't speak highly enough about this venue. Being able to have access to a wedding coordinator and their design room made wedding planning so easy and stress-free. Not having to worry about bringing in a ton of decorations made such a huge difference both in the planning and day-off stress. They even allow candles and lit them for us! The space itself (we also had access to the chandelier barn for pictures and to get ready ahead of the wedding) was magical and didn't require a bunch of extra fluff to make it look absolutely perfect. While we had a few bumps in the road as we moved through the planning process, they were always quick to bring a solution forward and always made it right. Alaina was our coordinator down the stretch, and she made everything so stress free and light. She helped coordinate final details and confirmations with all the vendors and kept everything moving the day off. While they allow any vendors, the fact they they coordinate both vendor selection and coordination allowed me to be hands on with the details and vendors that were important to us and hands off with the rest. Two thumbs up for the space and team, and we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with lots of character and little planning stress!
Can't say enough kind words on how happy we were to choose LionsGate - Gatehouse. Our original planner left LionsGate, and Hanna picked up right were we left off without missing a beat. Hanna was was easy to work with, and sooo responsive when I would think of random things at 9:00 at night I would get a message back calming the worry. She was prompt, listened to what we wanted, and was flexible when we needed to make changes. LionsGate is a BEAUTIFUL venue, and all our guests had a fabulous time at the wedding. Everything went smooth, and I knew I didn't have to double check anything the day of because Hanna had us covered. Lionsgate Staff did our buffet serving, cake cutting, and made sure everything was set up. Hanna used the Aisle Planner so we could share & see the notes from our planning meetings. They met everything we asked for, and never missed a chance to offer advice or also tell us when we were going rogue :). THANK YOU so much for helping us have a dream wedding!
This venue caught our eye right away. Not only is this ceremony and reception space absolutely gorgeous, the services they provide make it above any of the other venues we considered. Our planner, Alaina, was incredible. She was patient and always ready to give advice no matter how big or small. She ran our rehearsal and ceremony perfectly. We visited the venue multiple times prior to our wedding date and everyone was always so welcoming and helpful. We also utilized their waitstaff and everyone was so kind! Would 100% recommend this venue to my friends and family. My husband and I are so happy and grateful to be apart of the Lionsgate family!
yall this place is amazing! Alainna was an absolute QUEEN helping me and they had everything I needed! everyone I worked with there was incredible and I was able to make it my own! we truly loved every second!
Not only is the venue breathtakingly beautiful and conveniently located but the staff is attentive and incredible. Our planner, Hanna, was kind and patient with us. She worked with us over two years because we were postponed due to the pandemic and the level of service never waned. Hanna was just the calming force we needed through the craziness. All of our questions were answered promptly, she linked us up with amazing vendors, (sometimes at the last minute) and helped us finalize every little detail. I would highly recommend The Dove House and Hanna!
Working with Alaina at the Gatehouse was amazing! We had to reschedule due to the pandemic and Alaina was so thoughtful and kind every step of the way in helping us get our event planned. It went SO SMOOTHLY. I cannot recommend her and the venue enough. We got so many compliments on the space, and every vendor that we booked through her recommendation was just so kind and made the whole day amazing. For our rehearsal the morning before our wedding, we worked with Alaina to bring our own catering on-site and she had a gorgeous set up waiting in the garden for us to enjoy. She thought of everything!!
Being COVID aware, we had an entirely outside reception. Staff was very responsive to our requests. We appreciated the flexibility that Lionsgate was able to offer.
This venue is AMAZING! They truly strive to give you your dream wedding however you want it to be. We got married in the Chandelier Barn/Dove House and it was gorgeous and so much fun! Hanna Stimac was our coordinator and she did an absolute amazing job!
Thank you to Hanna Stimac for making our day run perfectly and smoothly. The Dove house was perfect and after some postponement and rescheduling we had a wonderful intimate wedding. Very helpful staff and I loved that I could bring in my own vendors for things as well. It was a great time and we even got to do our first look in the chandelier barn! Perfect and amazing day!
Alaina was the best! She helped us out so much, from choosing our vendors, to the rescheduling of everything due to the pandemic! She effortlessly accommodated our crazy schedules, and made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier! Her compassion not only for us, but for everyone in the same situation blew me away!
The venue itself was perfect for us! Our initial guest count was cut by 60%, and neither the chandelier barn nor the dove house felt empty with the reduced size!
Our guests loved the feel of the venue, and all of the opportunities for photos, (hello phone booth!), and all of the areas to explore!
We’ll definitely be coming back for pictures and we will always treasure our special day!
My husband and I could not say enough about this venue, our wedding day, 9.18.2020, was completely magical. We got married at the Dove House, but also reserved the Chandelier Barn. I couldn't tell you how many compliments we received from our guests on our venue. We had to push dinner outside due to Covid regulations, but I am happy we had to, because it was absolutely beautiful to dine under the market lights.
Our wedding planner, Alaina, was outstanding! She communicated well and replied quickly to any of our questions, especially with planning a wedding during pandemic. At our rehearsal, as well as on our wedding day, she was so patient, and she pulled together so many small details we didn't even know about until we saw pictures. With how stressful wedding days can be, this was so appreciated.
With the support of the staff at Lionsgate and the beautiful venue, I wish I could relive our night over and over again.
