With beautiful ceremony and reception options on our property, you won't need any transportation between the two. But if you want to take a ride on your wedding day, pro tip: Rent the limo.

Back to where it all began. Our design team at MRC created this for us in April of 2022 and with how much progress we're seeing on the grounds, we're feeling a bit nostalgic, in the best way! We can't wait to show you it all so, so soon 🥂

Yesterday’s unveiling was so fun we just had to do another appreciation post. This one is in deep gratitude for our owner, Jill Donovan. Each one of us at Donovan Manor and sister companies Donovan’s Dish and Jill’s Beach, feel the magic of this venue coming to life right before our eyes, and it’s all thanks to this Boss Woman right here and her Chef Angel watching over her! Thank you, Jill, for including us in your latest vision. Here’s to one step closer to Grand Opening! 🤗🥂

Mother-son moments leading up to the ceremony always get us good. In these precious moments, emotions run deep, and the unspoken words between a mother and son speak volumes. A simple tie adjustment or boutonniere placement can represent the culmination of years of love, support, and cherished memories.
Thanks to Emily Barbee Photography for capturing this moment and sharing it!

Thank you for making this project possible!

There's nothing better than a Southern staple, and today, we're showcasing Donovan's Dish's Fried Green Tomatoes. With a dollop of pimento cheese on top and a skewer right through it, this is a favorite passed hour d'oeuvres at any event.

GET TO KNOW US: Venue Manager Letty DeLallo joined the Donovan Manor team in May 2023 after 7 years in hospitality, business operations, and marketing. Her experience working with multiple family businesses taught Letty the importance of creating a culture of exceptional customer service at every touchpoint, something we're sure you'll experience at the Manor. Fun fact: Letty joined us just five days after her destination wedding that she planned herself!
