A wedding at Historic Mankin Mansion feels like stepping into a timeless love story. Hidden within Richmond’s lush greenery, this restored English estate offers a setting where every pathway, bloom, and glimmer of light feels steeped in romance.

Surrounded by manicured gardens and framed by ivy-covered brick walls, the mansion’s outdoor ceremony space invites couples to exchange vows along a red-brick aisle leading to an iron arbor beneath the trees. Inside, the European Gallery glows with crystal chandeliers, a grand white fireplace, and rich velvet drapery—an elegant backdrop for intimate dinners and grand receptions alike.
