1055 Highway 287, Lafayette, CO 80026, Lafayette · Venue website
A family-run estate on Highway 287 in Lafayette operating since 1990, with three venues: the 1910 Gatehouse ballroom with stained glass and gardens for up to 350, the 1927 Dove House mansion with brick interiors and gardens seating up to 150, and the Chandelier Barn used for indoor ceremonies of 100 or cocktail receptions of 200. It hosts weddings and celebrations year-round with in-house planning packages.
A Spice of Life has catered 3 events at Lionsgate Event Center since June 2024, private celebrations first, with corporate events and weddings alongside. The busiest stretch for us here has been summer. Max is our Event Specialist for Lionsgate Event Center, with Hannah as backup, and knows the load-in, the kitchen, and the timing the room needs. The venue publishes capacity of 350 seated; we size service style to that, and a buffet or stations needs more floor than a plated dinner for the same count. Indoor and outdoor space both come into play, so the timeline carries a weather call and we stage food where it stays hot either way. Load-in: Venue access with 5 hours of event time standard; an all-day option runs from 10am for 7 hours. Alcohol: Alcohol must be booked through the venue's preferred vendor list; no independent providers.
Event types we have run here: private celebrations, corporate events, weddings.
Tell us the date, the headcount, and the kind of day you want. We quote by consultation, so the number reflects this room and your event, with everything included spelled out. Max will be the one who calls you back.
