Mankin Mansion Wedding & Event Estate - Wedding venue in Richmond - 4300 Oakleys Ln, USA

Vendor Review: Soho Photos As a photographer, I enjoy capturing moments at venues that offer flexibility. Having both indoor and outdoor options for couples, especially during the peak season from March to November, adds to the appeal. The well-kept and manicured grounds, along with the venue's historic charm, provide a picturesque backdrop for my photos. The reception area, housed in a spacious white tent, makes lighting arrangements effortless. My past experiences at this venue have been consistently positive, and I eagerly anticipate working with my next couple here.

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!

My husband and I got married at Mankin in September and I truly cannot put into words how amazing it is. From the moment we toured the property, we knew we found somewhere special. The venue itself is stunning. We wanted to get married outside but wanted a suitable back up option in case of rain. Both are absolutely beautiful. The grounds are magical and the whole vibe is really cool. Mankin is far and away beyond just a venue though. The best part was the team (shout out to our Mankin planner, Leah, who may be the best person I know). They are professionals in every sense of the word and really embrace each couple to make their unique relationship shine. Without the Mankin team, our wedding would not have what it was and I am truly beyond grateful. I cannot recommend enough.

Two words, class and elegance! Definitely a must try for your wedding venue needs! The property is very pristine!!!

Historic Mankin Mansion is a stunning venue for weddings, with its grand southern architecture and meticulously landscaped gardens. The mansion's elegant interior, complete with crystal chandeliers and hand-painted frescoes, provides the perfect backdrop for saying "I do," while the outdoor spaces offer a variety of options for ceremonies and receptions. From the sweeping lawns to the charming gazebo, there is no shortage of beautiful spots to celebrate your special day. Overall, the Mankin Mansion is a truly unique and memorable location for a wedding. ig @iamthesam

We had our wedding at the Mankin Mansion last weekend (9/30/23) and it was incredible. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. Emily was our coordinator and she made sure everything about our wedding was perfect. When the day finally came it was exactly as we pictured. Yes this venue is pricey, but you get so much with your money, for us it was all worth it.

My husband and I met in Richmond, VA and knew that was the place we needed to get married - even if we now live out of state! Five minutes after stepping onto Mankin’s property, we knew this would be the perfect place to get married. The grounds are pristine and are perfect for gorgeous photography and fun for guests to explore. They have a coordinator that guides you along your planning process and is there to support you on the day of your wedding. Of course no one expects it to rain on their wedding day, but we were SO thankful that we were at Mankin when we had a few showers during our ceremony. The indoor gallery ended up being a gorgeous place for our ceremony. Our coordinator, Gillian, was incredible to work with throughout our 1.5 year planning process. She kept us organized and was there to give advice when we needed it. On the day of our wedding, it was so nice to have established a relationship with her because we 100% trusted her when anything needed to be changed. The evening ran so smoothly and was the best party. My husband and I both keep saying this was the best night of our lives, and we’re both very thankful to Gillian and the staff at Mankin Mansion for all they did to make our night the best. Highly highly recommend to anyone getting married in RVA.

Such a beautiful venue! The team there was absolutely amazing. Perform many weddings and this place is one of the best around!
