We get to celebrate so many of life’s special moments at Donovan Manor, but some feel especially close to home.

Recently, we had the joy of celebrating Letty and Stephen as they prepare for the sweetest new chapter. Seeing a space she knows so well transformed for a day that was entirely her own made this celebration one we won’t soon forget.

We’re so happy for them and can’t wait to welcome the littlest member of the Donovan Manor family!

The Art of Welcoming. From a glass of ch*****ne waiting upon arrival and live music in the garden to an over-the-top caviar bar, the smallest details can make the biggest first impression. Because how you welcome your guests sets the tone for everything that follows.

How do you want your guests to feel when they arrive to celebrate your love story?
