The Matthews House

hate to write this but… grounds are lovely, banquet hall is fine, food was terrible. We attended a ceremony there, catered by the Matthews house for $ 25.00 per person. dinner was served on one plate which was to include salad (not even a salad plate?). Rolls on the table, no bread plate. serve your own drinks, not even water on the table. food was buffet style, but served and very intentionally portion controlled. We were served one tiny scoop of what I think was risotto (not even sure if that’s what it was, no one at my table could figure out if it was runny rice or risotto, whatever it was, was undercooked), exactly 2 small slices of overcooked zucchini/​squash (yes, just two, carefully measured and served pieces, no more) one extremely small, overcooked and under-​seasoned piece of boneless chicken and desert was one bite of soggy cheesecake., served with a paper napkin. never spent so much money for food of this quality and quantity. we were all hungry when we left!. look elsewhere for catered dinners… giving it a one star for the pretty grounds.

If you want a venue that is beautiful and will take excellent care of you on your very special day, pick The Matthews House! My husband, mom, and sister all helped in the search for the perfect wedding venue. When looking at other venues, we left all of them saying things we wish we could fix, but The Matthews House was the first venue we got really excited over. We were able to have the ceremony outside and the reception inside. It was great being able to get ready in the lovely, spacious upstairs bedroom and the men had their own room downstairs. I was able to use the whole house for the day and make it my own.
Jannette was so helpful and responsive during the whole planning process! I can’t say enough good things about her. One awesome reason to get married at the Matthews House is because they can take care of the food, wine/​beer, and cake. The food tasting exceeded our expectations and we were able to create a unique, delicious dinner that was not bland or boring at all. It was also great being able to have my cake designed and made on-​site. Jannette was always responsive and helpful with my emails, phone calls, and times we met. I brought pictures and other things to set up on our wedding day and Jannette and her crew helped me set up everything. When I started trying to help, she told me it was my day and to go enjoy myself and get ready. She made sure we sat down and ate during the wedding. Jannette and her team worked with all of our other vendors to make sure everything was coordinated and it made our day go so smoothly. I don’t think I could have picked a better wedding venue. It was the perfect place for my husband and I to get married.
Now that the wedding is over, when we pass by the exit, I want to stop by and visit. I definitely plan to visit on our anniversary. What a beautiful wedding venue with great staff! Thank you Jannette and everyone at The Matthews House for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Completely disappointed! We went for Mother’s Day this year. They said that they were having a Mother’s Day brunch. I could not of been more disappointed. When looking at the website it looks like it would be a nice brunch that was a buffet. I like the items that were listed on their website that they would be serving. However, upon arriving we were completely disappointed. Firstly, when you check-​in you have to immediately pay for your meal and include tip before you even sit down. I thought this was very unclassy and poor business. Secondly, no one explained to us that we would not have a server. And we weren’t sure when we were allowed to get up and get our meal. Finally, there was a separate area where drinks were served. So if you wanted anything but water you had to go to a bar area and order a separate drink. That includes orange juice ice tea and all the rest. The food was moderately good. The entire set up was so poorly laid out and the process was very un-​chic.

We got married at The Matthews House in March and we LOVED It. Our outdoor wedding had to be moved indoors due to inclement weather and the staff handled every detail.
The beautiful venue provided the perfect backdrop for some beautiful family pictures.
