ilding, Scottish Rite Temple and the Fairplay Hotel. The owners, Tom and Marie Jenkinson were married in 1990 and experienced much frustration trying to find an acceptable facility for their reception. This prompted them to purchase the house later that same year in order to give others a wonderful venue for their weddings and other social events. Over the years the Jenkinsons continue to expand and improve the house andgrounds by adding patios, gardens, the solarium, bar room and garden room. The Gatehouse has a main ballroom that offers 5000 square feet of hard-wood floors (allowing for dancing anywhere in the room), vaulted ceilings, a large copper bar, Victorian staircase, and an antique German fireplace and paneling, and many other unique pieces from around the world. The most unique piece is the spectacular 140-year-old 14’x12’ stained glass window from France which creates a dramatic backdrop during the day or at night when it is lit from behind. Eight French doors open onto a large covered patio and spacious grounds. The East Room works well for buffets, a staging area for plated meals or as a children’s room with a TV and DVD player. All main areas are handicapped accessible.

Unveiling the Magic Behind the Weddings✨ We asked our coordinators about some of their favorite weddings of 2023! Alaina goes in depth about Olivia and Michael’s enchanting wedding under the starlit sky!🌌

Unveiling the Magic Behind the Weddings✨ We asked our coordinators about some of their favorite weddings of 2023! Madeline discusses the aspects of Emily and Rodney’s September wedding below!⬇️ A boho dream wedding! Can you describe Emily and Rodney as a couple and their experience with Lionsgate? - “Emily and Rodney originally booked a venue out in the mountains. Unfortunately, during the planning, they realized the venue was unable to accommodate everything they pictured for their dream day. *Enter Lionsgate* Want an outdoor tent event? No problem, we can do that! Want beer burros for cocktail hour? We can do that, too! Planning their wedding was a dream! Emily and Rodney are two of the sweetest humans I have ever had a chance to work with. Their love for one another plus the support and joy from all their loved ones (and I can’t forget Theo, the dog’s adorable yodeling) made their wedding day perfect!” What was your thing about their event? - “The tent! Oh my gosh I LOVE an outdoor Dove House event! The tent ensures guests aren’t baking under the afternoon sun or getting wet if the temperamental Colorado weather takes a turn, but you still get that amazing outdoor vibe. With the farm tables, succulent centerpieces, and the layered boho rug dance floor, it was truly a boho dream!”

Unveiling the Magic Behind the Weddings✨We asked our coordinators to go into more details about some of their favorite weddings of this past 2023 season! Hanna talks about her couple, Audrey and Wes from this past October 20th! The couple glowed with love that day, infusing the wedding atmosphere with joy and good times! ❤️ Cheers!

Prices include private use of house and grounds, tables, chairs, linens, tableware, centerpieces, on-site manager and unlimited event planning. The Dove House is a historic landmark built in 1927 for Miss R.A. Dove by the renowned Colorado architect and engineer William N. Bowman.
