I have had the pleasure of knowing Mirabela as our photographer for years, so when my husband and I wanted to renew our vows, I know we would be in good hands. Mirabela has recently taken over the most beautiful venue. The minute we drove back through the winding drive it was like we had been transported to another country! The setting was intimate and gorgeous. Mirabela was able to work with us to create a ceremony that fit our dream and our budget. Whether you are looking for a small ceremony or an all-inclusive package, I would highly recommend Mirabela and Villa Mirabela!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Catlett Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The rustic charm of the barn, coupled with its simple elegance, created a stunning backdrop that required minimal decoration. The decor closet was a lifesaver, saving us both time and money. The open houses were incredibly helpful in our planning process. The entire Catlett Farm team was exceptional. Their communication was top-notch, the planning spreadsheet was a valuable tool, and their staff was fantastic to work with. Their professionalism and helpfulness made our entire wedding experience truly unforgettable. Our favorite moment was our private dance at the end of the night. The feeling of pure joy and satisfaction was indescribable. The venue was beautiful, and our taco truck was a huge hit with our guests. We received countless compliments on both.

Spaces seem to be getting smaller and more clinical. Everything covered in hospital white and agreeable grey. We recently booked our event at the Magnolia Inn right after their exterior face-lift. Our event had the energy of a Great Gatsby gala with the class and charm of Southern Hospitality. The staff was attentive and available for any last minute changes or adjustments and catered to all of our needs. If you end up staying the night as well (like we did) the breakfast spread will have you asking for seconds and a late check out while you sit on the front porch swing while the Sunday sun starts to warm up the quaint little town around you. Our photo session was so much better in a place that you could easily imagine what a regal life would be like in a large Victorian home. My family came along with me and I now have a timeless photo of my two children walking down the grand staircase holding hands that will be the placeholder in my mind for the sweet innocent time of their lives that they are in right now. Repeat sessions already booked, can't recommend this gem enough. Free private parking, fast wifi, walking distance to food, drinks, and fun. A must have for weddings or an elevated event/date night.

Having our wedding at Donovan Manor absolutely made our day what it was! I know people can be wary of venues requiring in house catering and bar, but let me sway you otherwise! First off, Donovan’s Dish was amazing and easy to work with. Ashley allowed me to amend my menu as many times as necessary in the early stages and Emma was so easy to communicate with. On wedding day, our food was not only amazing but the staff were excellent and efficient. Even down to the little details, like a staff member folding and placing napkins on guests chairs as they got up to get their food. All these little details helped our wedding feel elegant and personal. THE BAR! I cannot say enough good things about the bartenders at Donovan Manor. They were so kind, funny, and made great drinks. All of our guests complimented the staff. Ok onto the venue. It is so beautiful and truly a one of a kind venue. Many venues skimp on the grooms suite and this was a huge plus for me. Often I feel the groom gets forgotten about, so I loved to see how much effort was put into the suite. Even my now-husband commented on how nice it was to have such a large space. The bridal suite (really entire floor) is exceptional. I truly felt like a princess getting ready up there. The outdoor rose garden is stunning and the oak tree makes for wonderful photos. Having three bars is also a game changer, especially if you have a larger guest count. Everything was thought of while building the venue, even the bathrooms are gorgeous! All of guests have complimented the weekend saying how perfect it was and how amazing the venue is. Book Donovan Manor! You will have zero regrets.
