Donovan Manor Spring Wedding | Jordan & Corey

Jordan and Corey's wedding at Donovan Manor in the spring

Jordan and Corey had the perfect Donovan Manor spring wedding in March of 2025. It was colorful and vibrant and packed full of a good time! It is always so fun for me to connect with a couple who is local to the Fuquay Varina area where we live. Even better is the new Donovan Manor right up the road! With its stunning property and carefully curated house and event space, this venue was the perfect backdrop to their perfect spring wedding!

Jordan and Corey were married in the courtyard surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their wedding ceremony was dotted and adorned by the most stunning and vibrant spring florals. The petal toss at the end of their ceremony brought a certain level of whimsical magic to their grand exit.

Some of my favorite aspects of their Donovan Manor wedding:

  • Jordan and Corey did not share a first look with one another but they did step out to stand together in front of the house! The balcony makes for the perfect secret.
  • The colors! The vibrance! The florals! If you know me you know I am a sucker for a big beautiful bouquet and I adore how it complimented Jordan’s dress and her style.
  • Sneaking out for sunset photos. I love pulling my couples out if they are down to escape the fray for a few minutes. The golden hour light was perfect for frolicking in the driveway and I loved catching them running back to their party!
  • Speaking of party I think they spent the remainder of the evening on the packed dance floor. Exactly where I like to spend mine.
  • The emotional toasts by the dads and their important people.
  • Oh! Can’t forget the live painter! It is so fun to circle back and see the art they create in such a short amount of time.
