Historic Mankin Mansion Private Wedding & Event Estate

Adolphus Maples III

What an incredibly enjoyable wedding experience! Gillian Zehr was a DREAM to work with as well as the entire staff of the Historic Mankin Mansion. As a wedding entertainment company we experience many venues with "day of" planning, but HMM is the real deal! From vendor to vendor, we appreciate you and encourage any wedding couple considering HMM to just book already!

Gillian, Martin, and team assisted us in planning and rescheduling our wedding during COVID. I cannot say enough good things about Historic Mankin Mansion!! They are knowledgable, super helpful, and very professional. They made the entire process easy for us and feel a lot less overwhelming. Thank you!!!!

We knew from the moment we first visited the Historic Mankin Mansion that this was "our venue." HMM's grounds are gorgeous year-round and is constantly maintained to ensure it is photogenic from every angle. To be honest, it does not feel like you're in Richmond or Virginia when you're there—that's the best part! Historic Mankin Mansion is so unique as a venue, especially for weddings in Virginia where so many couples get married at the vineyards over and over again. HMM is special and was the best to work with. The team is small AND mighty! The owners, Paula and Martin, are with you throughout the process and know how to plan for and execute weddings. Their planners are just as amazing! We worked with Gillian and Lauren and they made us feel loved and respected and cared for throughout the many months we spent planning for our wedding... IT WAS PERFECT! We knew that our wedding was "a dream wedding" and now that we're married, we look back and can still say it was a dream that came true. The entire team is detail-oriented and cares about every moment. As a well experienced team, they share such wonderful insight and ideas for you and are candid—which meant a lot to us. Trust us when we say you want to work with a team that cares about you enough to give you candid feedback and suggestions ... they are experts at what they do! We truly enjoyed every moment of the process and could not be happier with how our wedding weekend went at HMM. Everything was perfect! Our family and friends are still raving about everything weeks later and continue to share how much they loved our venue, the team, the grounds, and how much fun we had celebrating together. We will cherish our memories at HMM for decades to come and proudly tell our family and friends about the venue that perfectly celebrated our love.
