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.

Absolutely Perfect!

Booking Mankin Mansion was the absolute best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Not only is the venue stunning, everything that is included with it made our lives so much easier. The planning portal has an extensive checklist with things I would never even thought of along with a tool to easily create your seating chart, a design studio, and more. They even have complimentary accessories you can use like table numbers and cake cutters to take a few things off your list to buy. The best part of Mankin Mansion was the planners and day-of coordinators. Our planner, Gillian, was truly incredible - she answered every little question we had right away, helped coordinate with all our vendors, provided advice along the way, and so much more. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to the their team who paid attention to every little detail and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell the team at Mankin Mansion truly loves what they do and I couldn't recommend them enough!

The wedding of our dreams

The Mankin Mansion absolutely delivered on providing our dream wedding. The venue is beautiful, the staff are super responsive, considerate, and professional. We were very impressed that all are our vendors seemed to consider it an honor to serve us at the mansion and seem to acknowledge that the venue had a certain level of expectations for their patrons. During and after our wedding, we continuously were complimented on how well organized and attentive the staff were. Many of our friends and family said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. You can just tell the owners, the staff, and the vendors with which they work care about every detail of everyone's experience. They of course prioritize the wedding couple and family.

During the planning process, they invested a lot in understanding our vision and took interest in every request we had. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our big day.

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!

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!

Could not recommend enough!!! Truly the best!

My husband and I visited Mankin Mansion and we instantly knew that it was the perfect venue for us! We worked with Gillian over the next 2 (ish) years to create the perfect wedding and timeline for us. We loved how much was included in the packages and how easy they made everything. Gillian and her assistant Emily truly make you feel so cared about during the entire process. On our day it did rain but the team were absolute pros and made the whole transition inside so easy and didn’t ask or “bother” my husband or I with any detail related questions about any of the decor they had to find a new layout for. It was so nice being able to trust that they would be able to handle the new plan without stressing either one of us out. We absolutely love Mankin and would recommend it to anyone!! They are the experts and treat you like family!

RUN (don’t walk) to book this place!!!

Booking Historic Mankin Mansion was without a doubt the BEST wedding planning decision we made!!! This venue was seriously worth every penny. If you’re having hesitations or second-guessing it, this is your sign to go for it.

The staff was so easy to work with and the venue itself is so beautiful!! Leah was the most incredible wedding planner and was so nice, considerate, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. She and the rest of the staff made everything so easy and were willing to work with us on any idea we had! They have so many helpful resources to offer and make the whole wedding planning process a breeze.

All of our guests kept saying they could see and feel how relaxed, happy, and calm my husband and I were on our wedding day! And we largely attribute that to the staff at HMM for being so wonderful and capable, and making us feel so confident that we didn’t have to worry for a second on our big day!

A magical experience from start to finish

I had a feeling about HMM from the start, and when we visited back in May 2021 during the venue search I knew it was the place for our wedding. Their package is unbeatable in terms of what it includes, and Leah, the planner who comes with the venue is a dream. I wouldn't have been able to keep everything moving and organized without her, and she was essential on the day of when it came to sticking to our packed schedule and wrangling two huge families. Martin, the owner of the venue, DJ'd our reception and did an amazing job keeping the party going all night. If you want a truly magical venue with a seamless planning experience, look no further than Mankin Mansion!
