We recently had our wedding at the Farm on 95 and it was a beautiful venue. The staff was amazing and very professional and it was so simple to get set up and get the party started! Rachel was very kind and helpful leading up to the wedding and I loved that all the tables and chairs were set up and taken down for us so all we had to do was decorate. The staff was great, they helped keep everything running smoothly and were prepared with a rain plan and everything. I loved the location, it was easy for the guests to find and there is lots of parking, plus its close to a ton of hotels, the outlets, and both Selma and Smithfield downtown areas.

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.
