The Matthews House

I loved the Matthews House, but Preeti was the one who made it absolutely wonderful!! She helped me plan and coordinate my wedding and was always patient and understanding!!!

We had a perfect wedding and I have Nina from the Matthews House to thank for that. It was a beautiful venue. All of our guests (and my husband and I) RAVED about the food!
We stayed the night at the house as well and it was phenomenal!
I can't wait to go back to the Matthews House for one of their events :-)

I fell in love with The Matthews House the moment I walked in the gates. I was on my vendor search and I had visited quite a few places prior to visiting The Matthews House. Nina greeted me and gave me a tour of the house and grounds and I just knew it was the place for our ceremony and reception. We had a lot of out of town guests so we wanted both events at the same venue. The house and grounds are BEAUTIFUL and were groomed perfectly. The house is old and charming and the gardens are well manicured with lovely flowers and greenery. Nina was always accommodating and kept her word with everything that we agreed on during our many meetings. The house was PERFECT for our wedding. Words cannot describe how wonderful the setting made all of our pictures. We loved it!

Now - the FOOD. The food was absolutely FANTASTIC. All of our guests are STILL raving about the catering. There was not one food selection that was even mediocre - it was all OUTSTANDING. I cannot even say enough good things about the food (except that I wish my husband and I had time to eat even more!). Nina even made us "doggy plates" to take home since we were unable to sit and eat all of our food since we wanted to mingle with our guests.

Nina and her staff were amazing from day one, and especially on the day of the wedding. Nina is essentially a second wedding coordinator and she and her staff ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly. Everyone was very professional and everything went exactly as planned. If you're looking for a beautiful place to get married that serves fantastic food, The Matthews House will not disappoint you!!

This venue charges a 20% "service fee" on The Matthews House (not stated in the contract) PLUS the customary 20% "service fee" on the food and beverage. Beware. This is another $600.00. Although numerous phone calls, messages and emails were sent to the accounting person during our planning NONE were returned. A better system of communication is needed between clients and staff. Though the food was excellent stations were requested and assured but a buffet line was set up instead. I was very disappointed.

I had planned a Sunday afternoon wedding in the garden at The Matthews House. It turns out Mother Nature had other plans. It poured rain all weekend long and yet, when I spoke to Nina and her staff she assured me they handled these situations all time and not to worry about a thing. To say she held true to her word is an understatement. They had to hold my ceremony in the ballroom and then urn it around for the reception. Not only did she personally oversee all of those details, she also contacted the DJ, the florist, and the bakery. We LITERALLY didn't have to deal with anything. I can honestly say I am happy I chose this venue not just because it is stunning but also because the staff treats each and every wedding party like family!

I was pleased overall but had a few frustrating moments. the place is beautiful and the people are very kind but I felt they were understaffed which led to frustrations on my day. they made some promises they did not keep in regards to clean up and remembering little details taht were important to us.

Getting married at The Matthews House was incredible. It was the perfect evening and everything was so beautiful. To look back on our ceremony in the garden under the twinkling lights makes me feel as happy as I was when I was walking down the aisle. The house and reception hall were magnificent. I would definitely recommend booking the Honeymoon Suite for the night of the wedding. We did and it was great! I highly recommend The Matthews House!

The setting for our reception at the Matthews House was spectacular. You can't go wrong with the aesthetics of the place, and all of our guests raved about the food. There were a few issues though. Our guests had to endure plumbing problems where water was leaking from the 2nd story to the Main floor, and we were never compensated for the problem. We took advantage of renting the Honeymoon sweet, but were surprised when we had NO warm water in the shower or tub (probably due to the plumbing issues). We had requested that the bar be closed during dinner, but the staff did not follow our instructions, & hence the bar was closed early. Finally, it happened to us, and we've heard its happened to others, the reception gets shut down early. Be aware of this when signing a contract with the Matthews House, b/c they can decide to close down the party at any moment, even if all your guests are acting appropriately.

This was a gorgeous place for us to have our wedding. The food and service was amazing. All of our guests enjoyed every aspect of our wedding.

A beautiful, beautiful place to get married. Helpful along the way, sometimes took a while to get back to me with answers to questions but beautiful. A few issues with kids meals and buffet stuff--tried to kick us out when we weren't done yet! Other than that, perfect!

I can't even tell you how wonderful the food and wine were. People are still talking about the reception. It was a beautiful buffet and plenty of food. The people there were just great and very helpful.
