No. Our team has been in the wedding planning business for years, and we've built up a network of reliable and talented vendors that we know will deliver. We can help you find vendors within our list that not only fit your budget but also align with your vision and can deliver the quality of service you desire.

Most definitely! Your coordinator will not only ensure that all elements are planned but will also be there to run the rehearsal so you can relax!
Who handles set-up and tear-down?
Lionsgate has an amazing team that works behind the scenes to set up the venue to exactly as you've designed it with your coordinator. When you arrive during your "set-up" hours, anything Lionsgate owns will already be set up and ready for you. Your coordinator will be available to oversee vendors during this time. It will be your vendor's responsibility to set up what is booked through them. Teardown will be handled by your catering/waitstaff team and vendors during your included one hour of teardown. Your coordinator will help facilitate getting personal decor to your pre-determined contacts to take home at this time.
