Landmark History & Luxurious Details: Why You’ll Love Getting Married At Mankin Mansion

Designed in the Italianate-Georgian Revival style, this gorgeous home and gardens feel like a step back in time! It’s just outside the downtown area of Richmond but feels so private and secluded, with space for up to 200 wedding guests. Mankin Mansion was ranked by the Orbitz website as the best wedding venue in Virginia, and it’s easy to see why, with this stately home offering such a romantic setting for couples. There are several luxurious getting-ready areas here too, so Mankin Mansion really offers it all! 

Ceremonies at the Mankin Mansion

In warmer weather, the Italian Gardens is a dreamy outdoor ceremony spot with a red brick aisle to walk down, abundant florals and greenery, and a romantic vibe! Or, the European Gallery is your indoor alternative — a stunning space with white brick walls and ornate crystal chandeliers that look like a ballroom straight out of a French castle.

Cocktail Hour

Sip and celebrate on a spacious outdoor patio area! Guests can mingle, munch, and get the perfect photo with multiple illustrious backdrops. Cheers to your new marriage under twinkling Edison bulbs and stunning brickwork. The outdoor space also features a giant chess set and a hedge maze.

Receptions

And when it’s time to kick things into party mode, choose from a spacious outdoor patio or climate-controlled luxury marquee for your reception!
