LEARN MORE ABOUT
OUR STORY
Tom and Marie got married in 1990 and began their search for a new home to share with Marie's son, Steve. They discovered an abandoned two-acre property, which they named The Dove House, built in 1927 by architect William N. Bowman. Inspired by their own struggle to find a wedding venue, they decided to turn it into one. With Marie's interior design skills and Tom's marketing expertise, they embarked on this project.
After a year of renovations and acquiring antiques, The Dove House hosted its first event in 1992, quickly becoming popular as the only private venue in northern Denver. Tom and Marie created their own vision of a wedding venue, offering fair pricing, inclusive packages, top-notch vendors, and a staff dedicated to love and care. The venue's success grew rapidly, expanding three times in subsequent years.
In 1993, they purchased a neighboring farmhouse and transformed it into The Gatehouse, addressing the demand for larger seating capacity. The addition was a huge success, prompting further renovations to convert the hay stall barn into elegant accommodations. To accommodate indoor ceremonies, they transformed the carriage barn into The Chandelier Barn in 2017.
The family-owned business continues to thrive, with Marie's son Steve and his wife Alex taking on a larger role in running the operations. They've introduced innovative ideas, ensuring Lionsgate's success for future generations while upholding the values of exceptional service and products. Tom and Marie remain involved, with Marie focusing on redecorating and creating art, and Steve and Alex's daughter, Izzi, is in training to potentially take over in the future.
