Megan and her staff made sure that our wedding and reception went smoothly and according to plan. She was a joy to work with and I heartily recommend everyone check out the Lions Gate Hotel for any special event they may have. You won't be disappointed.

Megan and her manager were very accommodating and helpful. Megan's response time by phone or email was quicker than I expected. My husband and I would highly recommend the Lion's Gate Hotel for a wedding or any other event with having Megan as their coordinator! Our wedding was an amazing event and all of our guests had a great time.

My husband and I loved this place. When we drove up I told him this was the place. The fact I just love palm trees this had to be the place we got married. They are all around this beautiful re-modeled Air Force base. Not just were the grounds amazing but after speaking to Megan again I was validated that I wanted to get married there. Megan was such a great helping, walking us through every part of the "Generals House" informing us what we would get if we choose Lions Gate as our wedding spot. We never felt pressured with pricing and she was very easy to talk to about all our details. We were even set up with a privet tasting because our schedule didn't match up with the group tasting. The food was amazing! Which made it very hard to pick menu items. What we picked for our wedding was just as amazing from when we tasted it. Our guest still talk about how great our food was. We would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great out door wedding who is also looking at accommodating guest I site.

I was looking for a venue that had everything all in one location and would help out with everything. The Lion's Gate Hotel went above and beyond what I was expecting. Their wedding coordinator Megan was so helpful and made sure everything went smooth. We heard from our guest they loved the location and the food was amazing!

Lions gate was great. they where very flexible if the weather was going to turn for the worse. They where very upfront with what we could do and what we could not. I had a photo booth and craft tables and they made it all happen. The Generals hoouse was so nice to have for the day and that night. It helped with winding down. 2 thumbs up

It was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. We didn't have to worry about driving from one spot to another because we had it all right there, wedding, reception and then spent the night in the general's house.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
