May Showers!

Alaina was our planner for our May 25th wedding.. in Colorado, the weather can be a bit crazy in May! The forecast showed lots of rain and overcast weather for our evening ceremony but Alaina had come prepped with ideas and solutions if we had needed a new plan - her demeanor is really what put us at ease for what could have been a really stressful situation! She was prepared, punctual, and made our day so lively and special. As a bride planning from out of state, Alaina made my life SO easy. Cannot recommend her more! The venue itself was perfect - the exact location my husband's parents were married in 30 years ago! So cute and can fit any vibe.

So amazing!!! Made my dreams come true!!!

I recently got married at Lionsgate and it was truly the best night of my life!! All of the planning leading up to the wedding was made so smooth thanks to our provided coordinator, Madeline. We had 3 meetings before the wedding (aside from emailing back and forth) and each time we basically just told Madeline what we wanted and she made it happen! She’s like a fairy godmother!! The venue looked beautiful, the recommended vendors were awesome and so professional, the catering was delicious, really everything just went off without a hitch!!! Also this place is just sooo beautiful. When I was telling people about my wedding, I told them “I mostly just can’t wait for you to see how beautiful the venue is”. All of our pictures were sooo stunning and the getting ready suites were so much fun for all of the bridal party! Absolutely recommend!!!

Coordinating our dream day

Alaina was such a joy to work with! She was incredibly knowledgeable, offered opinions and advice when needed while still centering our vision and decisions, and was so supportive during the entire planning process. Despite having I’m sure several weddings at various stages that she was coordinating, we always felt like a priority and never waited more than 24 hours for a response, and usually it was even less than that. Alaina’s attention to detail often meant that she was a step or two ahead of us and our day ran so smoothly because of her tireless focus and boundless energy. I can not recommend Lionsgate enough because of the experience we had with Alaina!

I want to get married here again!!

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.

Perfect Venue!

The second I pulled up to Lionsgate Event Center, I knew it was the one I wanted to get married at. Then when we walked into the office the staff was very friendly and welcomed both of us. We got help from Lauren who gave us the whole tour and let us stay and look as long as we needed, we were able to ask all the questions and received an answer on every single one. We not only loved the venue, but we also loved the staff and felt very special being there which is exactly what we wanted. I seriously can't wait to get married at this AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL venue!!!!!

Incredible experience!

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!

Exceptional Venue and Staff

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!

Beautiful Venue and Excellent Coordinators

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
