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 a short (1 1/2 to 2 hour duration) 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 pool and Cabana House for a smaller group... |
|
|
For
an intimate indoor (climate controlled) wedding with under 40 guests, our Cabana House and pool area is so delightful. The
Cabana House, with 800 s.f. is a large open room with 3 sets of French Doors opening up to poolside for summer entertaining
and dancing. It also has a simple summer kitchen and bathroom facility.
|
|
| The Cottage |
|
|
| The perfect place for the bride to prepare for presentation! |
| The Pavillion/Visitors' Stable |
|
|
| Perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall Events |
|
|
Our 20 x 72 foot Pavillion (above), which doubles as our secondary horse stabling area, is
available for your wedding, graduation, or other private gathering! Within view of the Cottage and
the Pond, it also offers a large nearly level area perfect for an outdoor ceremony, nearby parking, with the covered
Pavillion serving as your banquet area, band area and seating. Plenty of electrical outlets, 2 ceiling fans, lighting,
plus lights in the cupolas. Low pile commercial carpet is laid out over the ground in the Pavillion for events.
| Our Elegant Colonnade System |
|
|
| It can be rented and installed at the location of your choice. |
| Garden Arch adds charm |
|
|
| Available at no additional cost to install at your choice of locations. |
|
|
| The Main Barn |
|
|
| 9,000 s.f. of true "Country"! |
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, if you desire: 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. Call or email for pricing for optional services.
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

Cheval
Manor's "MINI - WEDDING"!
ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET? We understand! Picture a quiet, lovely place in the country by a
pond, an evening ceremony by poolside with tiki torches, or in our Cabana House, a wedding officiant, a gorgeous
wedding gown/veil, a few close family members and friends (up to 6 additional guests), a mini-photo shoot by Heidi
to capture the memory, and a simple but elegant Tea Party Reception (catered by Marsha's Ticklebelly Kitchen), we'd
be glad to help!
| Elegant but Simple |

| Who says a lovely budget wedding is impossible?........ |

| Now, this looks like real fun! |
|
What would YOU
prefer?
A. a cold, impersonal trip to the courthouse, 5 minutes with
the JP after waiting in line with all the other couples, surrounded by all the "happy and friendly" government
employees that are trying to make your special day one to remember (mmm, right!) or
| Proud to present: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Williams... |
|

OR
B. a lovely memory on the ranch, in
our Cabana House, or if you prefer being close to nature, by the pond, next to horses in a pasture, in one
of our beautifully forested coves, or even a romantic night-time ceremony by the pool, festively lit up with
tiki torches! All those options are possible at Cheval Manor Ranch!
(If you chose A, then you flunked
the test!)
If you chose B, Congratulations!!!

Whatever
your dream, we will try to make it happen for you. While we can't promise you the moon, but we DO have lots of imagination,
resources, and even a little talent in making "something" out of nothing! We can help make it a day to remember!
We can also accept monthly payments on this plan so your wedding will

per month for 8 months, you can have your Mini-wedding for 6 guests paid IN FULL by your wedding date! What
an accomplishment to have a "debt-free" wedding!!! Dave Ramsey would be proud of you!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOURLY RENTALS
Or if you have a modest group of 8-40 guests, you may want to consider
renting our Cabana House by the hour. Why pay $900 if all you need is 2 or 3 hours time? Our hourly rental for
the Cabana House with attached arbor, for example, is only $75.00 per hour. 2 or 3 hours would give you plenty of time
for a beautiful ceremony, a small banquet and intimate, elegant reception-- rain or shine. This is the PERFECT
solution for those of us struggling financially these days. All other details (decorations, food, table/chair/linen
rental, wedding officiant, photographer, music, etc.), provided by customer.
WHATEVER YOUR DESIRES.....We look forward to hearing from you!

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. - Individual
Horse Encounters
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
