Donovan Manor was a dream venue, and we would absolutely recommend getting married here!! The pictures don’t even do it justice. From the first tour, they were so kind and accommodating! The venue itself is so well thought out. It is not only beautiful from the inside out, but the attention to detail and the layout are truly beyond words. The brides suite is spacious, fun, and allows for much more than just getting ready; ie relaxing, dancing, eating and so many photo ops! The guys loved the groom suite! The rose garden is nothing less than stunning! The guests raved about it. Even if we had to do our rain plan, we were excited, because the ballroom is just as breathtaking. We got so many compliments on the beautiful reception (and the chandeliers!!). On top of the venues beauty, the team and owner are so helpful, responsive, and sweet. I felt like they really wanted me to live out my vision, helped answer questions, and made the day go by seamlessly! Even with a million requests from my family and the stress of a possible hurricane coming in- their team was incredible. I can’t thank them enough for truly giving me my dream wedding!

The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.
