Getting married is such a blessing and exciting season in life! Why not enjoy every moment to the fullest? Booking our wedding reception at Lion's Gate was the best and easiest choice we made! Amy and the rest of the staff was very professional and great to work with! This venue has created a place where it is fun and easy to create your dream wedding! They have amazing vendor recommendations and lead us through every little step of the way! This was so helpful to reduce stress and enjoy the engagement for the bride & the entire family!!
Thank you so much Lion's Gate House!!
We love you,
KK

We got married at the Gatehouse and it could not have been more perfect. Marie and her staff at Lionsgate are very good at what they do. The best part about this venue is that it can be all inclusive through them or you can piece it together yourself. Read: bring in your own food and alcohol and save a TON of money. The place is beautiful and really requires little decoration. Their wedding planning services were also super helpful. If I had a question all I had to do was email and I had a response within an hour or two. I was never told I couldn't do anything. They were willing to work with all of my ideas no matter how crazy and gave suggestions of what they thought would and wouldn't work. I could not have been happier with our big day and couldn't imagine it having taken place anywhere else.

I highly recommend the Lionsgate Center!! My husband and I had 100 guests at our October 2012 wedding and chose to get married and hold our reception at The Dove House. From when we toured the venue to hosting our wedding, the service we received from the staff at Lionsgate continually exceeded our expectations.

We especially liked that we were able to hold our ceremony and reception at the same location. We were also provided the option to hold our ceremony indoors or outside. We were fortunate enough to be able to hold our ceremony outside and it was absolutely gorgeous. We also loved that the venue had microphones outside, so all of our guests were able to hear us.

We also loved that Lionsgate has a liquor distributor, Party Liquor, on-site. It was so simple to coordinate with them and they take all unused liquor back with no restocking fee. We definitely saved money in this area as our guests did not consume as much alcohol as we anticipated.

If you have a chance, attend a bridal show at Lionsgate. We attended one in April prior to our wedding and met almost all of our vendors at the show. It was very helpful that the vendors had worked previously at the venue and we had no worries on the day of our wedding.
Lionsgate Center: Dove House & Gatehouse responded with the following comments:
Oh yay! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your wedding at the Dove House. October is a beautiful month to have an outdoor fall wedding!

We are also glad you mentioned the bridal show. We hold two bridal shows a year and they are so much fun to get to know all the vendors and get a sneak peak of our property!

I had lots of help with everything. The owner helped me choose a table setup, I hired her for brooch bouquets, everyone was patient even though I was terribly late. I was extremely pleased with price and setup and tear down and dishes and linens were all included. Everyone loved this place and still comments on it's charm.

Lionsgate Center was absolutely fabulous but what made it so fabulous was working with their GM, Amy Atwood-Wherry. She was there for us to answer every question along the way and amazing the night of. We planned our wedding in four months, and people thought we were nuts for doing so.......but we had the best experience. I can't recommend Amy or Lionsgate anymore. We truly had our fairytale!

Lisa at Lionsgate was a joy to work with and our wedding turned out even better than we ever dreamed. She went above and beyond our expectations and provided us with the best vendors and a beautiful wedding. You would think with set vendors and venue every wedding would be cookie cutter but we truly experienced our own special day. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue at a economical price go to Lionsgate and do a walk through. I would especially like to call out Lisa as a great coordinator and would recommend her to everyone that goes to Lionsgate.

The Gatehouse was wonderful! I worked with Leanne and she was wonderful. Everything went well the day of the wedding, the site was beautiful, and the staff was organized and professional. I received a lot of compliments for the venue and would definitely recommend you consider this venue for you wedding.

We picked this venue two years ago and have been smiling ever since! They made every aspect of organizing the wedding, the vendors, and the staffing hassle free and even offered more than we actually needed them for! NOTHING could have been more perfect when the day came. Paige Carbone kept everything flowing, stress free, flexible, and smiled the whole time. She even helped us keep the party going by extending our time and making sure we didn't run out of wine for our guests. If we could give them more than five stars, we would. :)

I loved holding my reception here. They really have everything you need for that day and it is included in the price. It was also a great value if you choose the right days, which I did. It was absolutely stunning in the courtyard and the inside is so beautiful and unique. I got many complements that day for the venue! The coordinator of the day, Amy, was wonderful too. She took care of everything so I could just enjoy.

The Lionsgate Center has 2 different wedding venues... I got married at The Dove House and it was absolutely amazing. You can choose between a Vendor Package or just a Facility Package. We chose the Vendor Package so everything was included in our price... it made everything so much easier and more fun because your wedding coordinator (included in the price) booked vendors, paid vendors, and made sure everything was there and set up when it needed to be! I do not have a single bad thing to say about anything!!! Amy rocks :)

When my daughter accepted her marriage proposal, I did not know where to begin. We had looked at some venues and were surprised what the cost for just the venue was going to be. We contacted the Gatehouse and was amazed at what they offered for the cost. We opted to go with one of the "packages". We met with Amy talked about what we wanted the wedding to look like and she took over. We were contacted by the vendors that she thought would work for us and met with each of them. Perfect fit for all vendors. Each vendor - florist, caterer, cake baker, dj and photographer that were suggested all worked out great. Not only did we get fantastic vendors without having to search out each one individually, but we got a wedding planner (Gatehouse staff -- Amy) to boot. The wedding was beautiful. Better than expected. Great experience. I highly recomend this facility and getting the "package". This is the stress free way to have a wedding and I am sure any event that the Lionsgate Center would host.

They were great to work with. I liked using this venue because you do have the choice to use your own vendors. They were very accomodating and even changed the linens the day of the wedding because I didn't like the color I had chosen. They worked with all of my vendors and made sure that they had everything they needed. The only downside to this location is that it got extremely hot throughout the day and night and if you want any lighting (uplighting, etc.), it really doesn't work in the Gatehouse.

We absolutely LOVED our wedding at the Dove House. It was beautifully decorated for us and the old farmhouse makes for a welcoming, comfortable, and open atmosphere for guests to mingle and be a part of everything. Weather allowed us to have the ceremony outside in the back yard which worked out great -- we could not hear the traffic at all from the highway nearby. This location offers many unique areas for photography. I would highly recommend this location for weddings -- some friends got married at the Gate House and loved it as well. Can't go wrong with either!
