• The Donovan Pavilion was a gorgeous venue to hold our wedding reception! Mindy was absolutely great to work with leading up to our wedding. She was responsive, kind and very helpful. I highly recommend!

  • My wife and I are so incredibly grateful to have worked with the Donovan Pavilion for the reception venue for our July wedding. All ~150 of our guests had ample space and room for activities.The recent renovations including the tasteful repainting, as well as the addition of the bridal suite came out very well - we were more than pleased. The amenities including the large patio area with fire pit, accessibility, and restrooms are all kept immaculate and made for the reception of a lifetime! We would definitely recommend the Donovan Pavilion to future friends, family, and strangers alike. To the Donovan Team: Thank you for being so accommodating, supportive, and fun! as we planned for this big day. We hope to return for future experiences to your beautiful venue. Best, H&M

  • I had my winter wedding reception for 100 people at the Donovan and I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding venue. Everyone was commenting on how perfect it was and taking pictures. While it isn't the most inexpensive to rent you do get quite a bit out of it being able to bring in your own caterer, bartenders, and alcohol. We even also just hooked up our iPhone to play cocktail hour music. People absolutely loved the fire pit - we had people out there all night long. The service was incredible - Mindy was so responsive and helpful before, during, and after the event - we really couldn't have pulled everything off so smoothly without her! Thank you so much!

  • The Donovan was a great location for our ceremony and reception. We had many out of town guests and they all enjoyed the surrounding area and all that Vail had to offer.

  • Donovan Pavilion was the perfect venue for our August 2017 wedding. The space is absolutely beautiful and perfect to be able to make of it what you want. Mindy and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful in answering our questions, allowing us to tour the venue a few times and ensuring all the details of the day of were covered. We had 160 people at our wedding and had more than enough space. I would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a rustic wedding (at a good value) in Vail.

  • We got married at the Vail Wedding Deck and then had our reception at Donovan Pavilion. The Pavilion is SO beautiful (without the need for tons of decorations). The management is also great - really responsive, helpful, and kind. We had about 140 guests and it was the PERFECT size (not too big, not crowded at all). We did our cocktail hour out on the patio, then the reception inside. Worked great!
