About

Located just minutes from downtown Richmond, Historic Mankin Mansion is a one-of-a-kind, magical estate that dates back to the early 1900’s. Tucked away in a woodland fantasy and surrounded by lush foliage, Historic Mankin Mansion transports you back in time with romance.

Exchange vows in the English Garden on a magnificent brick stage under a singing sycamore tree or in the European Gallery in front of a floor to ceiling grandiose white fireplace under the sparkle of crystal chandeliers.

After you have wed, retire to the patio and lawn for drinks served out of the open-air Pergola bar. Then, move into the Grand Pavilion Tent and let dinner and dancing take the night away! There are even enchantingly secluded sites to escape for some moonlight pictures before your grand exit where you are swept away in a chauffeured luxury car. The best part is that you and your loved ones do not have to lift a finger on your gorgeous wedding day, because Historic Mankin Mansion’s event planners have got you covered!

Come visit for a private tour and see for yourself how spectacular Historic Mankin Mansion really is.

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience at Mankin Mansion

My husband, Clay, and I celebrated our wedding at Mankin Mansion last September, and it was the best decision we made in our planning process. As a wedding planner at MM, I was initially hesitant to get married at my workplace, but no other venue came close to what MM offers! The location is enchanting, with historic brickwork, manicured greenery, and modern touches like an air-conditioned tent for reception. Exclusive access to the mansion ensured that we had privacy, and the proximity to the airport allowed convenient shuttle services for our guests. The MM team's exceptional planning process, thorough meetings, and attention to detail made our experience seamless! Highlights also included spacious getting ready suites, unique decor options, an open bar until the end, and a stunning backup indoor ceremony space. Despite the rain, MM handled everything flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. The MM team made us feel like first-time clients, managing every detail and ensuring a perfect wedding. Book Mankin Mansion—you won’t regret it!

Phenomenal Planning Team and Beautiful Venue!

We could not have asked for a better wedding experience! The venue is STUNNING, but the planning team is what really takes Mankin above and beyond! My husband and I were hesitant to have a big wedding due to the stress that comes with planning, but the Mankin team made it so easy! They paid attention to every tiny detail to make sure the day went smoothly for our guests. Many of our guests commented on how blown away they were by the Mankin team, and we couldn't agree more! We did not have a single thing to worry about on our big day and we are so grateful to Mankin for ensuring everything went off without a hitch. We are so thankful to Mankin for everything they did to make our celebration so memorable and exceeding our expectations for our wedding. If you're on the fence, book it! You won't regret it--it was truly a magical experience in a gorgeous venue!
