Lionsgate Center: Dove House & Gatehouse

My daughter and son-in-law chose The Gatehouse for the wedding location. The staff there was AMAZING! Everyone was so helpful every step of the way! Leann, Erica, Lisa and Pat were awesome the day of the wedding! Everything went smoothly and cleanup was a snap! Thank you Gatehouse for making their special day so wonderful!!!

I cannot say enough about the Lionsgate Center. It is a gorgeous, unique venue and they offer so many flexible options to suit what you are looking for. The settings indoors and outdoors are so beautiful and there are many stunning backdrops for the wedding pictures. We initially weren't sure if it was in our budget, but after comparing prices and estimating totals costs with vendors at other venues, Lionsgate is extremely reasonable and worth every penny because of the value you get for your money. Their package option, which allows you to pick what you need and subtract what you do not, was absolutely perfect for us and helped make the wedding planning process fun and low-stress. All of the staff members are fun, professional, experienced, kind, and helpful. They also have great communication so you can always call/e-mail anyone without missing a beat. They were there every step of the way through the whole process and I am so thankful to them for being so wonderful and helping us to have the wedding of our dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! You will not regret your decision if you book with them!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Gatehouse and we loved it! It was so nice to not have to worry about a thing! They provided all of our linens, place settings, tables, chairs, centerpieces, and staffing. Everyone was so professional, and our wedding coordinator Amy was so fun and easy to work with.

My husband I couldn't be more pleased!!! Lionsgate is a beautiful!!! My husband I chose the vender package, which made everything flow very smoothly. Amy, listened to everything we said and guided us in the right directions for vendors. She was also willing to listen and actually wanted to know “our story,” which, I believe helped her to understand the type of couple we were. This in turn, also helped her suggest the perfect vendors that would “fit” best with us. She made is so easy; she made everything easy!! All of the staff is wonderful and all very responsive. Since the wedding, my husband I, have heard nothing but positive comments from those that attended. Some of the comments included were how beautiful the venue was, how well organized it was, “It is the best wedding we have ever been to.” On the say of the wedding, Amy was there guiding and helping with everything and making sure that everything went just perfect, which of course it did!! We had an outside wedding and all we can say about it is “WOW!” The grounds are VERY well kept and have lights in trees. It was absolutely beautiful. We chose the Gate House and had the most amazing sunset pictures! We would recommend this venue to anyone. Overall, we were amazed with how everything turned out. Definitely a day to be remembered!!!

The Lionsgate Center staff was amazing to work with. The Lionsgate Center has two facilities, both stunning and unique. Whenever I had questions they always called me back before the end of the day (sometimes minutes). They cross communicated super well. They were the perfect combination or resourcefulness, professionalism, and creativity. They made all of our guests including our vendors feel welcome. The grounds are stunning. It is very difficult to find a venue that has classiness without it costing a small fortune. On the other hand it is hard to find something that isn't hippie like that doesn't cost a fortune too. It is my opinion that The Dove House is one of the best kept secrets (though not for long).

Working with Lionsgate Center ~ Dove House was a wonderful experience. They were wonderful, professional and took care of our every need. They were quick to return e mails and phone calls. As the mother of the bride I felt that every detail was covered. They took great care to make sure my daughters wedding went smoothly!

Amy was by far the best person to work with us! She answered emails immediately and even let me come in to re-do my table settings! She was always there to answer questions and was there on my BIG day! We loved her!

We chose the Lionsgate for quite a few reasons. The staff from the beginning was exceptional and the vendor package is awesome! A lot of other places will have a decent vendor package, but I found that you got the biggest "bang" for your buck here. Marie, the owner was such a pleasure to work with and was very personable. She had picked our vendors who she felt were most compatible, and all but one (not a huge deal at all) were very compatible. We didn't realize that the invitations were included in the vendor package, which was a nice surprise!Whichever staff person we met with always took the time to work with us in showing us centerpiece designs, linens and set-up. LeAnn, our day-of coordinator was truly fabulous!! She was absolutely all over it on our wedding day! I found out after the fact that there were a couple of issues that she totally fixed with ease, clearly, I didn't even notice, that is how great she was! The Lionsgate is very upfront with costs (even though it can be a little confusing) and we didn't get any surprises. LeAnn also stayed all the way until the end of the event which quite a few coordinators do not do. I didn't really care for the alcohol policy times at first, but after the fact, it was really great! I really liked the fact that you are able to ask for additional alcohol and they can easily get it with no fuss, as well as returning it. They made sure that everything was taken care of for whatever we asked, and this was the first place that we came across that didn't say NO to anything!! The on-site photography is fantastic! Their response time is a little slow, however, it is totally made up for with what they provide. We had 3 photographers, which we weren’t expecting at all! They were extremely friendly and great to work with! The food was absolutely delicious and came out marvelously! I will recommend this place to anyone that is getting married!

I had the most amazing time/wedding with the Lions Gate. All the girls there are so great and helpful. We did a full package and loved all the vendors that they matched us up with. I would not have wanted it any other way!! I highly recommend them.

My daughter was married at the Gatehouse on August 7, 2011. The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch because this is what they do there. We were very happy with the vendor package and there were no surprises. The qualtiy of the services were outstanding. I would highly reccommend this venue to anyone that wants an affordable wedding at a beautiful setting. Great job done by all and it made it so easy for us.

Lionsgate far surpassed all of our expectations in preparing for and on our wedding day! Amy was phenomenal and provided us with excellent service! We got married only 2 months after getting engaged, so what could have been a very stressful, crazy time of planning was honestly a breeze because of Amy and everyone at Lionsgate! Love love loved it! Recommend them to all! :)

I cannot speak highly enough about our experience at the Gatehouse. The staff, the facilities, and overall feel of the experience was exquisite from our very first meeting all the way through the wedding and beyond. My fiancée (now wife!) and I were debating our options in terms of venues and vendors. Every place we visited (and we visited many) didn't compare to the completeness -- the absolute feeling that everything was going to flow... that everything was assured -- that we felt at the Lionsgate Center. They made our special day a day where we will only have fond memories to recall!! -- Erik Johnson and Renée Kershaw (Johnson)

I am so happy we picked this venue! Everything turned out perfectly, the staff was great and helped out so much. I wasn't stressed out at all and felt that they did so much in helping us plan and get everything organized for our big day.

I called and stopped by with questions over and over and Paige and the other ladies at Lionsgate were always helpful and calmed my bridezilla mode. Going in to the wedding I really had no idea what I wanted aside from a tight budget and a huge cake, and Paige really took the time to explain things to me (I was really clueless) so that I could have my dream wedding on my budget. Everything turned out amazing and I wouldn't have done it any other way looking back on it.

I am so happy that we picked the Lionsgate center. From the very first encounter, which was a tour, down to the actual wedding ceremony and reception, EVERYONE was wonderful!!! I have absolutely nothing negative to say!! They even worked with us on the deposit (because money was a little tight at one point), and rehearsal times. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the LIONSGATE CENTER to anyone, for any event!!! ~A very happy Bride~

The Dovehouse was an amazing setting for our wedding. Thank you for making it a perfect day! Every single detail was executed perfectly! Marie and her staff were wonderful at corresponding via email since we were planning long distance. Their onsite managers were incredible during the wedding and ensured everyone's needs were met. Y'all absolutely exceeded our expectations! The vendors on their package were a perfect fit--thanks so much for accommodating my requests! We truly had the wedding of our dreams and would love to provide a reference to anyone considering a Dovehouse wedding. Thank you all so much!

I got married and had my reception at the Gatehouse in October 2010. Amy and Marie were amazing! All of the attention I received with coordination was fantastic! They were willing to work with us on little things and went the extra mile in making sure everything was taken care of for the day of! The bar/wait staff were great! Everything went off w/ out a hitch! We were so happy with everything we had there, I recommend this venue to ANYONE! The facility fee includes sooo much that other venues nickle and dime you for. The ability to bring in your own food and alcohol are priceless and really helped us in saving money there! Lionsgate Center is a must visit when wedding venue shopping! cheers!

I got married there on 9/6/10. I booked my wedding a month prior to the event and everything came out beautiful. Leann was wonderful! She was very down to earth and flexible. She made me feel like anything we needed was possible and not a problem. I really appreciated her help. The Gatehouse was beautiful inside and out. I got so many compliments and people asking me how I found the venue. It was truly a night to remember.

We recently had our wedding at the Gatehouse and it was incredible. The whole process from the first time we looked at the venue through our wedding was so easy and effortless on our part. The staff is great! Everyone is very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend the vendor package...it makes planning a wedding much less time consuming and stressful. Every detail of our wedding was perfect!

I just recently had my wedding here and was beyond impressed! The office staff were warm and friendly and assisted with every detail of my event. The package deal was sooo helpful in the planning process and I was happy with all the vendors. Not to mention the place is GORGEOUS inside and out!! I would recommend this facility to anyone for any event!
