The property is beautiful and well decorated with plants and flowers. There are separate sections for a rehearsal dinner, wedding itself, and reception.

Would definitely recommend this venue to others for their big day or big event.

From the attentive staff out front and in the gorgeous lobby that makes you think Vegas to the amazing ball room host to amazing weddings it's a simply great facility. Though only here for a few short hours for cocktail hour and a wedding reception I fully designed my own condo on their huge 80 in touch screen in the lobby fully giving you the lay of the land in your new beautiful high rise condo. The lighting is great with huge chandeliers, the carpet is elegant, but rugged, the upper balcony and staircase is detailed nicely, great ventilation and a large stage for performances of all kinds. Did I mention all the marble in the lobby or the bar as well. I've been to dozens of weddings, but this my first here in Richmond, but for an indoor reception and the happiness of the newlyweds along with the cocktail hour, food and drink I have to say this place is a treat and a beauty and something any prospective couple should look at if getting married in RVA.

We took forever and she never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. She was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. They also have a cute little gift shop with picture frames, small bridal party gifts, and other keepsakes. I bought some items that day and will be going back for more. I would recommend Invitation to Party to any of my friends or family for their stationary needs.

Invitation to Party did my wedding invitations for my April wedding. They turned out more beautiful…read moreand unique than I could have ever imagined. We were having a destination wedding, so there was a lot of information that needed to be communicated to the guests in the invitations. They came up with creative solutions so we didn't have to have too many separate cards in the envelops or spend a fortune on unnecessary extra cards! After the first proofs came through, there were a couple minor changes that I asked for and they executed those changes with no trouble at all! I got so many compliments on the invitations and am so grateful for the work they did. Will definitely use Invitation to Party again in the future!

The studio isn't huge, but there's a back room for changing, a bathroom, and the standard drape for girl's graduation photos and suit jackets, shirts, and even bow ties for boys. We brought a number of outfits and were able to get shots of all of them. They have a number of props, backdrops, and scenery projections, which is what we were after. These guys have been in business 30 years and it shows. I think we've already found our wedding photographers!

I decided to come to Caston Studio for my professional headshot after reading many great reviews…read moreabout them. When I arrived, a partner of Mr. Caston took my photos. Afterwards, Mr. Caston had me look through the photos only once. After I commented that a couple photos looked good, he immediately began editing one of the photos without confirming which one I actually wanted to be edited. I wanted more time to look at the photos. When I asked if I can have some time to view them at home and then let him know which one I wanted to be edited, he told me it was not possible and I would have to pay extra for that. As I did not have enough time to look through the photos to pick out the one I liked the most, I had to pay an extra $110 on top of the $135 photoshoot for a USB with the rest of the photos even though I just wanted proofs. I was very unhappy with the quality of this service and Mr. Caston's attitude towards me. I wish I wasn't rushed by him and he could have offered me an option of proofs instead of charging me an extra $110 for photos. I would definitely not recommend Caston Studio.

At the Overlook at ChildSavers, you get stunning views of the city from the perfect vantage point. The site is perfectly flat and has gorgeous views for miles, well, most of the way. It's bright and sunny and beautiful, but then there is that eye sore of an ugly rusted tank obstructs view on the left :0. I found that a little distracting from the otherwise beautiful view. Overall, however, great spot with lots of space for a nice event, and a goooorgeous view of the sunset and the painted city sky. What a nice place for a special event.

It was the most affordable compared to other venues, most beautiful, and we have the luxury of staying the weekend and relaxing with our family! The house is amazing, and the soy crops outside mixed with the trees really sold it for us. Not only did we love the venue, but we also felt warm and welcomed by Annmarie. Since the moment we booked she has been a great communicator and we feel like she is really listening to our needs. Not the "corporate" feel if you will. We also did our save the dates at the venue with their photographer! They turned out AMAZING! It was so fun and taking pictures with the horses really made them feel so much more magical. We are booked for May and I could not be more excited! Also just to add- they had so many options to help with vendors, which helped us pick our caterer! It's so much less stress than I imagined because they are SO helpful! I am so excited about our wedding and could not recommend this venue enough!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after a wedding at another plantation down the road, and…read moreit was a great experience. We got a chance to enjoy the kitchen and the pool. Our room was nicely appointed and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size with good water pressure. They do not cook a full breakfast in the mornings but there were bagles cream, cheese, other pastries, coffee, tea, and juice for us in the morning. We never ran into the owner until just before leaving on the second day, but felt at home the whole time. We will definitly be back again the next time we are in the area, it is definitley a home away from home kind of place and was a great value for quality of accomodations. The only downfall is that it is cash or check only...no cc travel points for me on this stay.

The event was at Mankin Mansion and the owner did several onsite visits, met with the bride and groom as needed in advance, and made the night flow amazingly well. I used to cater A LOT of weddings and this was one of the very few times I've been on the sit back and enjoy myself side of things so it was easy for me to have an eye for good service. They set up multiple bars that knocked drinks out quickly (despite the fact that the groom and I went overboard and nearly provided every possible drink). During the partially served, partially self served dinner they were quick to refill table drinks, clear plates, etc... Best of all at the end of the night when it was the groomsmen's responsibility to load the ridiculous amount of cases of booze back into my truck their staff didn't even hesitate to offer to help haul the boxes across the grounds to the parking lot. I would recommend this company to anyone... seriously. Years of experience catering and this was amazing.

Lots of natural light, large windows, brick walls painted white, neutral floors, and tons of pretty pieces to choose from for any type of shoot. From my understanding, you can rent out the space by itself or pay extra to be able to use any of their equipment. My only critique of the space is that it was freezing in there! I know the tall ceilings probably didn't help much, but dang was it cold. I had to put my coat on in between outfit changes. Being an event planner myself, it's so nice to know this space is here and I will be sure to keep it in mind for future events.

I found P&J after stalking my venue's social media, they work with P&J often (which is always a plus as the vendors are familiar with each other and relationships are already established). Erin gave us a tour of the warehouse early on in my planning process and helped me pick out pieces that matched my vision for the day. She was so helpful and flexible and made the whole process really fun! Their warehouse is FULL of tons of furniture and décor pieces. As I moved through the planning process, my vision shifted, and I was able to easily switch out pieces originally picked and add on new items up until very close to the wedding date. Erin also did magic on our signage. I sent her some inspo photos of different types of fonts and she completely nailed it. The signage was a huge part of the day as we were moving from event to event so having the cohesive lettering through it all really tied together. I cannot say enough good things about P&J. The delivery was smooth (hence why vendors knowing the venue is important), staff were always helpful and responsive, the price was absolutely reasonable, and any question I had was answered with grace. I so recommend P&J to any bride in the area who is looking for unique pieces to add special touches to their big day!
