WEDDINGS
- specializing in small to moderate sized events.
Cheval Manor is a great place to have a small to moderate
sized event (up to 150 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 FOUR different wedding package options at the Ranch:
1. BASIC PACKAGE: $1750 to rent the facility from sun-up to 10PM, (includes the 1440
s.f. Pavillion, the 800 s.f. Cabana House, the Wedding Field and pond area.
Also includes:
* 3
hours free Karaoke (but we will be happy to DJ with your CD's or Ipod)
* Free mounted traffic
patrol
* Portable PA system
* Choice of Wedding Backdrop -Garden Arch, Gazebo, Colonnade, or Wedding Canopy
(you decorate as you please)
* 12' x 16' Dance Floor (Located in the Pavillion)
* 1 hour free rehearsal
time on a different day (Fridays OK based on availability). Most rehearsals can be completed easily within an
hour. (Limited to members of the wedding party, photographers, musicians and minister, please. When friends, children,
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great grannies, grampas, exes, girlfriends and boyfriends all arrive, what we end up
with is total chaos and another full (un-prepared for) event! Thank you for understanding.
* Free Bridal Presentation
on Horseback! (See more detailed information on the page titled "Bridal Presentation on Horseback)
The
place is yours from sun-up on your wedding day to 10PM that evening, and till noon the following day (to clean up).
NOTE: Cheval Manor does not own banquet tables or banquet chairs. These must be rented by the client,
but they are not expensive to rent. Please feel free to shop local vendors and compare prices, or check with
your church for free use of their tables and chairs.

Floor:

2. MINI-WEDDING PACKAGE: This is a short (1
1/2 to 2 hour duration) all-inclusive, self-directed wedding package for small, intimate groups only (up to 30 people
total). Priced from $890 (for 8) to $1330 (for 30). See details below.
3. HOURLY
RENTAL: Each of our buildings/locations can be rented for $125 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.
4. CEREMONY ONLY:
Thinking about Eloping? No reason to go to Pigeon Forge! There may be times when a brief ceremony is all
you want and need. Perfect for evenings or weekends when the courthouse is closed. All you need is your Marriage
License and $75. Ceremony may be performed indoors or outdoors as you prefer!
If none of
these options fits your needs, just let us know how we can help you! Want just a quick ceremony and run?
That's OK. Want an outdoor ceremony and a brief photo shoot? That's OK, too! Or maybe it would suit
you best to have a simple ceremony (inside or out), a few elegant wedding decorations, plus a little "liquid" refreshment
table for your guests, some soft interlude music, and a basic photography package? We can do that, too. As little
or as much as you desire! Just jot down what your ideas are and give us a call. We can custom tailor your wedding
day to meet your needs and your pocketbook!
| The pool and Cabana House for a smaller group... |
|
|
For
an intimate indoor (climate controlled) wedding with 30 guests or fewer, 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,
dancing and even its own piano. It also has a simple summer kitchen and bathroom facility.
|
|
|
|
| An evening view of the Pavillion.... |
| Perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall Events |
|
|
| Covered Bar area behind the Cottage |
|
|
Our 20 x 72 foot
covered Pavillion, 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.

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 few
close family members and friends (up to 30 guests total), a complimentary mini-photo shoot to capture the memory,
and a simple but elegant Tea Party Reception with your choice of finger food tray, 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, decorating supplies, 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 be completely paid for on your
wedding day! Now how many couples can do that?! For as little as $111 per month for 8 months,
you can have your Mini-wedding for 8 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 8-30 guests, you may want to consider
renting our Cabana House by the hour. Why pay for all day if all you need is 2 or 3 hours time? Our hourly rental
for the Cabana House with attached arbor, for example, is only $125.00 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!

The Sweet Shop (Satisfying One Sweet Tooth at a Time!)
|
|
|
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
