| Privacy |
| Located on 10 acres, each facility guarantees complete privacy and exclusive use of the building and its grounds during event time. |
| Rentals Included in Price |
| We include an extensive list of rentals in our base prices (see itemized list in this brochure). We also own all of our own tables, chairs, linens, tableware, etc. thereby ensuring immediate availability for last minute situations. |
| Customized Set Up & Tear Down |
| We guarantee the customized set up of all tables, chairs, linens, pre-setting tableware, centerpieces, etc. Our staff will also take care of the final tear down and cleaning. Caterers are only required to clean food and beverage related items such as rinsing plates, mopping spills, cleaning the kitchen, taking out the trash, etc. Our facilities are well organized and managed making us a favorite place to work for vendors. It’s important to check with caterers who have worked at the facilities you are considering to determine the difference in staffing charges and other issues before you book a site. |
| Your Personal Site Manager |
| To ensure a successful event, we provide a Site Manager to assist with any last minute changes, facility related issues as well as client and vendor needs. The Site Manager is in constant communication with your catering captain, via walkie-talkies and security cameras. Site Managers also carry an emergency cell phone, the number is listed on our voice mail system. In addition, the owners live on site to assist with any unexpected situation. A minor situation can grow into a major one if not dealt with quickly. We strive to give each client and their guests an enjoyable and smooth-running event. |
| Unlimited Event Planning |
| Lionsgate specializes in weddings and other social events and hosts between 400-500 events per year with a total of over 4000 events to date. We are happy to provide you with all the event planning assistance you need. We also maintain an extensive and detailed database of all vendors who have worked at our facilities. Feel free to call our offices 7 days a week, where our friendly and helpful staff are waiting to assist you. |
| Choice of Catering |
| We allow you to hire any caterer, or cater the event yourself with the assistance of our professional and insured wait staff and bartenders. We do not charge additional fees when choosing a caterer not on our list. |
| Bring in your own Liquor |
| We allow you the flexibility to purchase alcohol directly from a liquor store. This will typically save you between $10-20 per person. In many cases the alcohol savings alone can pay for our facility! (See “Alcohol Guidelines” for more details.) |
| Detailed Walk-Through Meeting |
| To ensure everyone is “on the same page,” a 1 to 2 hour walk-through meeting is scheduled one month prior to your event. You, your caterer and a Lionsgate staff member will go over all the final details including room layout, vendor information, time-line of the event, ceremony music, etc. After this meeting you and your caterer will receive a scale diagram of your customized room and grounds layout, a time-line, wedding ceremony music notes and a detailed breakdown of any added options, upgrades and other charges. |
| Overtime Options |
| Overtime for evening events may be added the night of your event and in any time increments as desired. You may extend your event as long as desired with no cut off limits. |
| Music |
| Both disc jockeys and bands are allowed without restriction. However, to ensure the enjoyment and comfort of your guests, your site manager will monitor extreme volume levels. |
| Guaranteed Prices |
| Once a contract is issued all fees and inclusions are fixed at the current brochure’s rate. |

| Special Arrangements, a division of Lionsgate, offers 20% off all invitations and accessories whether you are booking an event with us or not.
