From the highway 287 the Lionsgate is mostly hidden making this spectacular venue unknown to even the locals unless you had the pleasure of attending a fabulous event there already.\r
As the party/event planner for my company I like to try new places every year, but because of the size of the my company now (225), I need a good size venue. I have run out of venues in Boulder so I decided to check out the Lionsgate in Lafayette.\r
I was lucky enough to meet with Paige (got to check out the Dove House next door too which is beyond amazing) who showed me the Lionsgate grounds and the Gatehouse facility. She truly loves her job, it shows. \r

WOW, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I was sold the moment I walked into the Gatehouse. What a pleasant surprise to see such a wonderful large beautifully designed and decorated venue. Originally this was a family dairy farm and many of the original features remain as the remodeling was done to enhance the charm and character of the old dairy farm along with the farm's original family house. The space is large enough to seat up to 350 comfortably surrounded by a large warm fireplace and the west facing wall has gorgeous antique stained glass along with easy access to the outdoors' private grounds. There is a centrally located bar and a large food access area to accommodate a large group at once. The price included all the tables, linens, etc....making my planning a breeze.\r

My Company's Holiday Party was a BIG SMASH and everyone was blown away by and heard from many that this was the BEST place ever! We have already ready booked our party for this year (2013) as everyone is anxiously looking forward to returning.\r

Much kudos to the owners who remodeled these amazing facilities and keeping up with maintaining its original character and charm along with adding the beautiful antique stained glass.\r

Anyone planning a big event/party will be most pleased by choosing the Lionsgate's Gatehouse or Dovehouse to host it. A memorable event for everyone! \r
