three venues on one property which confused me at first lol. dove house is $5,000 weekdays, $8,000 fridays, $10,000 saturdays, $6,000 sundays (up to 150 guests); gatehouse is $6,000 / $9,000 / $12,000 / $7,000 (holds up to 350). the chandelier barn only books alongside one of them, $1,500 for a ceremony or $2,500 for cocktail hour or an after-party, and all-day access is a $2,500 add-on. a lionsgate planning package is required on top, from $2,500 for month-of. rental includes tables, mahogany chiavari chairs (white folding outside), linens, glass plateware and flatware and a 1 hr rehearsal, with no curfew
it's in lafayette, maybe 30 min north of denver. vendor policy is semi-open (bring any caterer but you use their waitstaff, and alcohol/dj/rentals go through approved vendors). family owned, they've done 9,000+ events and their site says the team is unusually long-tenured. with 3 venues on one property, make sure any quote says which one it's for The property has historic charm (the dove house is a restored 1927 mansion), ceremonies can be held indoors or out in the gardens, and the rustic chandelier barn seats up to 100 for an indoor ceremony.
Gatehouse runs $6k weekdays to $12k Saturdays, Dove House $5k-$10k
Their site has a build-your-own-wedding tool that prices out your exact options, which one couple specifically praised for transparency. On top of the venue fee you have to book one of their planning packages: $2,500 month-of, $4,000 partial or $6,500 full. Off-site mountain ceremonies with a guest shuttle back to Lionsgate run $3,500-$7,000 depending on the spot and guest count.
Transparency on costs is what stood out to me, one couple said they answer expense questions fast and straight. Coordinators Lauren, Hanna and Alaina all get name-dropped with glowing comments. One review said the place reminds her of a Bridgerton set, with the roses in the garden at sunset. A photographer who has shot there 4-5 times said the getting-ready spaces are big with great light and the stained glass looks amazing in photos, which matters more than people think.
$9000 Friday, $12,000 Saturday, minimum budget including staff, rentals, etc. for Saturday is $21600
