Over the years, I have attended many events at Oaklands and have always loved visiting! The home stands in the heart of Murfreesboro's downtown and gives a step back in time to the Civil War era, while providing historical snapshots of Murfreesboro through the years. The staff here is great, and I always leave having learned something new. The gift shop is full of great local gift items. IN addition to the museum and visitor's center, the grounds are a great spot for photos.

This will be the third year I’ve worked on an event with Oakland Mansion and every year they never cease to amaze me. The head of house coordinators are consistently quick and clear with communication, and always willing to be flexible when problems inevitably arise. Will for sure be keeping them at the top of my roster for event bookings. Would absolutely suggest for special occasions!

For years Oakland Mansion has hosted high quality events at their beautiful venue. The staff is always professional and kind. James Manning has also taken great care to tell the history of the site and brought forth the stories and voices of the enslaved persons who lived there.It is the gem of our downtown area and the perfect place for events, walking or a picnic.

I was supposed to have my wedding here. We had set the date and we waiting to put down a deposit this coming week. Until today, when I got a message saying that the venue had been booked for our wedding date the ENTIRE TIME and that it was in fact not going to be available. This was a conversation we had for months and we’re told our date was opened. Not only was I disappointed but I was left with absolutely no backup options. Extremely unprofessional and frustrating. I would definitely ask to see their calendar yourself, because clearly they cannot read it.

We just had our wedding at Oakland's mansion and it was amazing! Definitely recommend getting married here if you appreciate simple elegance and a historical venue. We fell in love with the beauty of the venue when we first toured it and the reception hall was a perfect size for our smaller guest count. Our wedding was outside on the grounds with the mansion as the backdrop and happy hour was behind the mansion with pretty hanging lights. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was. Connor was wonderful to work with, he helped me through the whole process of having our wedding at Oaklands and he answered all my emails so quickly. He also met with me multiple times in person to go over specific wedding details. He has a very calming presence that is much appreciated when you are stressed planning a wedding! Highly recommend choosing this venue, you won't regret it!

We just had our wedding at Oakland's Mansion and I cannot recommend it enough! If you love historical venues, this is the place for you! We fell in love with the beauty of the mansion after touring it and were so excited to center our wedding around it. We had our ceremony outside the mansion on the grounds with the mansion as the backdrop. We had a lower guest count that fit perfectly in the reception hall and we received so many compliments about the beauty of the grounds! Guests could also tour the mansion during happy hour after our ceremony. Connor was our main point of contact planning the wedding and he was fabulous! He answered all of my emails so quickly and met with me in person multiple times to go over wedding details. He helps keep you calm so that you have fun and don't feel as stressed. 100% choose this venue!

I helped work a wedding there today, and Connor was incredibly kind and professional with my team and I. He was also knowledgeable of the museums history and answered all my questions thoroughly. The grounds were peaceful and you can tell that the staff keeps it well kept.

Photographed a short wedding here and loved it! Staff was super helpful giving us access to the mansion and other locations on the property. Beautiful grounds and great shade! Would love to shoot here anytime in the future!

My family and I went to Oktoberfest on 9/24/22. I had purchased 4 regular, and 2 DD, for my family, in advance as required. We met several friends at the mansion. The check in process was smooth. The set up was perfect! We enjoyed some great beers, cigars from the Humidor, and there was even a spot to watch college football! My family enjoyed the food trucks, and axe throwing. It was such a GREAT time, and I will be back!!

Oaklands Mansion is a very cool Murfreesboro gem. I went for "free" day because I hadn't even heard of the mansion until I saw free day being advertised. The house is well restored with lots of information about the family and the history of the home. I loved walking the grounds under the big shady trees. I will definitely be bringing guests to Oaklands Mansion when they are in town.

Me and my wife had our wedding here and it was absolutely AMAZING! Connor was such great help as well! We couldn’t have done it without him. I highly recommend this place as a wedding venue and for the tours. The mansion is gorgeous!
