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.

Fun facts

How did the venue become a wedding venue?

Lionsgate Event Center began its journey when Tom and Marie Jenkinson purchased an abandoned two-acre property in 1990, with the goal of transforming it into their family home. After struggling to find a wedding venue for their own marriage, they decided to turn the historic 1927-built Dove House into an event venue. With Marie's interior design expertise and Tom's marketing background, they renovated the property, adding antiques and charm. In 1992, The Dove House hosted its first event, quickly gaining popularity. Over time, they expanded by adding The Gatehouse and The Chandelier Barn to meet growing demand.

What is your favorite part about a wedding?

Our favorite part of any wedding is witnessing two families come together in love and celebration, with the help of our own family. As a family-owned business, we take great joy in creating a space where these special moments unfold, from the first look to the last dance. It’s an honor for us to be part of such meaningful milestones, knowing that the efforts and care from our family contribute to the beautiful union of two others
