“We knew when we were searching for venues there would be a select few but when we met with Aga and the staff at Donato's we knew there was no other venue to have our wedding reception. From start to finish the team made sure everything was perfect and the night ran so smoothly. The food was incredible and the service of the staff was unlike any other.We truly feel our wedding reception was as memorable as it was because of the Donato staff.”

“Beautiful venue that brought our wedding vision to life. The venue worked really well with our vendors. The sunken dance floor really set it apart and the dry ice looked amazing for our first dance. Our guests had an amazing time and enjoyed the food and drinks. Aga was amazing as our function coordinator and really assisted us in making our wedding possible. She was always responsive and quick to try and accommodate to our needs.”
