We are thrilled to share the journey of planning a truly special event: the first wedding ever held at the stunning Donovan Manor. When Britt and Nic approached us about their dream wedding, we were immediately captivated by their vision. They wanted a venue surrounded by beautiful landscaping, an outdoor setting that would capture the essence of nature’s beauty—and a Donovan Manor Wedding was the perfect canvas for their dream.
From the moment Britt and Nic stepped foot on the property, they knew they had found something extraordinary. Nestled amidst lush gardens and breathtaking views, Donovan Manor boasts sprawling lawns, vibrant flower beds, and towering trees that create an enchanting atmosphere. Britt and Nic were excited about taking photos under a grand oak tree, its branches stretching out like nature’s own embrace.
Britt and Nic shared their vision of a wedding that felt intimate yet celebratory. Britt had a special request: she envisioned a celebration filled with the soft glow of candles, creating a twinkly, magical feeling. The couple also wanted to emphasize the natural beauty of the surroundings, so we integrated wildflower elements into the decor.
One of the most exciting aspects of planning their Donovan Manor Wedding was weaving in personal touches that spoke to Britt and Nic’s story. We selected a color palette that echoed the natural beauty of the venue: deep purples, soft mauve elements, and gold. Each table was adorned with bud vases made by Flowers by Kyle, while the twinkling string lights overhead added to the enchanting ambiance for the evening.
On the day of the wedding, everything came together beautifully. We were worried about Hurricane Helene raining on our parade, but the weather was perfect! After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful outdoor reception, complete with gourmet food provided by Donovan’s Dish, signature espresso martinis, and, of course, plenty of dancing.
Huge shoutout to the awesome vendor team that made this beautiful Donovan Manor Wedding happen! Are you planning a wedding at Donovan Manor? Let us be the planning experts on your side! Inquire here.
