        The Donovan Pavilion was an incredible venue for our wedding! The staff was highly communicative throughout the entire planning process, making it easy for us to navigate all the details. The space itself is absolutely stunning - the high ceilings, large windows, and beautiful stone accents created such a warm and elegant atmosphere. The Donovan team was also incredibly flexible, accommodating our requests and providing excellent vendor recommendations that really elevated our special day. The staff on the day-of was delightful to work with as well, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend the Donovan Pavilion to any couple planning their wedding!

        We had our wedding at Donovan Pavilion and it was absolutely beautiful! The venue has incredible indoor and outdoor space that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was fantastic to work with - they were quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the big event and so friendly and accommodating. On the wedding day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could relax and enjoy our time with family and friends. They truly helped us create our dream wedding. I would highly recommend Donovan Pavilion to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue with wonderful staff!
