Cheval Manor
7052 W. GUM ROAD MURFREESBORO, TN 37127
WEDDINGS - specializing in small to moderate sized events.
Cheval Manor is a great place to have a small to moderate sized event (up to 100 guests) in the suburbs of Murfreesboro. If you are looking for a peaceful country location for your outdoor wedding, Cheval Manor would like to suggest one of our special locations at the ranch. We love to have fun, but we strive to preserve the quiet and idyllic atmosphere here at the ranch, so we do not cater to loud, "party-hearty" type groups. Our events end no later than 10PM, but music is turned down to a "whisper" at 9PM. We have THREE different wedding package options at the Ranch: 1. VENUE ONLY PACKAGE: $900 to rent the facility only. Includes the use of any/all of our public buildings and several parking attendants on horseback (a great photo op!). The place is yours from sun-up on your wedding day to 10PM that evening, and till noon the following day (to clean up). 2. MINI-WEDDING PACKAGE: This is an all-inclusive package for smaller, intimate groups only (up to 40 people total). Priced from $690 (for 8) to $1320 (for 40). See details below. 3. HOURLY RENTAL: Each of our buildings/locations can be rented for $75 per hour per location. If you are wanting to have a simple private ceremony with a close group of friends and family, and everyone is pitching in decorations, food, music, tables, chairs, linens, etc., this may be for you! Time clock starts when you arrive at Cheval Manor, and ends when you leave after cleanup. THE MAIN BARN (above): The main arena boasts 9,000s.f. and can handle a very large crowd, but it IS A BARN! Some brides have worked decorating miracles in the barn, with the 14' high rafters and open spaces. But remember, this is a true "working" barn....horses come in and out for breakfast and suppertime. If the idea of stacks of hay, pitchforks, barn cats wandering around and horses whinnying back and forth to each other appeals to you, this might be perfect for you! Feel free to contact us to explore the possibilities of your wedding or other event at the ranch. Our services include the wedding/reception venue, any or all of our buildings/facilities, free parking valet and free use of our little garden arch (as seen above). The rental rate for our location is only $900 per event and is for the venue only. All other services will be the responsibility of the bride and groom. (See below for alternative price options for smaller, more intimate gatherings.) Other optional services we can provide: Decorating services, BBQ Banquet services, and for special activities for the little ones; memorable pony rides on one of our immaculately groomed, well behaved horses, rowboat rides on the pond (great photo ops, too!), feeding the fish, bonfire set up next to the pond, complete with S'mores as a sweet finale of the evenings festivities. Don't want to worry about a thing? We can customize a total package so all you have to do is enjoy your day! Maximum guests - 150
We have several instructors at Cheval Manor that provide private, semi-private or group lessons to students of all ages. Please call Karen at 615-351-4870 or email: karen@chevalmanor.com for more information.
Although we do not host large Birthday Parties for groups of over 8 children, we will be happy to tailor a low-key Birthday get-together for your son or daughter and their well-behaved friends! Picture a surprise Birthday visit (bringing your child blindfolded to the barn) and the wide-eyed look of wonderment when, at the moment of opening their eyes, having a beautiful, loving horse standing right in front of them, ready to be loved, hugged and ridden! A one-of-a-kind Birthday gift, for sure! Prices for a basic 2 hour Birthday party, which is all-inclusive: starting with custom invitations, party favors, goodie bags for guests, horse time with photo ops, your choice of different activities: barn games, swimming (weather permitting and with parental approval), feeding the fish, nature hike, scavenger hunt and cake/gift time (parent provides cake) and all cleanup for up to 8 children is $250.00.
Simply want a private, deeply moving experience for your child and a sweet, gentle horse or pony? We have several young folks here that love children and love sharing their horses with children. Your child will get personalized, one on one attention with either Nathan, Chastity or Courtney as they start out by being introduced to the horse, petting their soft muzzle, looking deeply into their kind eyes, hopefully forming a "connection"! Then, a session of brushing, grooming and getting to feel comfortable around such a large, beautiful animal. Next, your child will help the handler actually put the pad and saddle on and adjust the fit while learning some amazing facts about these amazing creatures! Then, of course, your child will probably be ready to be lifted up into the saddle to experience the exhiliration of actually riding for their first time. Get that camera ready! What better birthday or any-time gift could you give an animal loving child? Nothing in the world like a horse....! Our charges are per horse/handler: $25.00 for 1/2 hour and $40.00 for a full hour. Prepayment is required at least 1 week in advance to secure your horse(s) and arena time. We accept cash, local personal checks and Paypal. Dates can be modified in case of conflict or inclimate weather. Email for more information.
Our 60' x 120' indoor riding arena with 14' ceiling heights and soft footing can be rented (on space available basis) for $30.00 per hour (weekend and evening rate), $20.00 per hour (weekday rate). Maximum four horses at a time, please. All visiting horses need to provide current Coggins. This is a perfect remedy for the mid-winter blues, or continuing your lesson schedule through the winter! Please call Karen at 615-351-4870 or email: karen@chevalmanor.com Special Event Insurance may be required to rent this facility. |
