Our Austin wedding band LOVES Mattie's

Our Austin wedding band, Uptown Drive loves every chance we get to play live music at this historic wedding venue. Mattie's Austin is drenched in southern charm with its lush landscape, towering cypress trees & occasionally peacock sighting. It’s the ideal venue close to all Austin’s action but quaint enough to make you feel like you're far away from home. We can’t say enough about how picture-perfect Mattie’s is for any occasion! It's always a thrill being the event entertainment at this beautiful venue!

Gorgeous Setting and Incredible Food

Mattie’s at Green Pastures is truly a hidden gem. We are so lucky that we got to hold our Rehearsal Brunch there. The scenery is downright gorgeous, parking is abundant, the peacocks are a plus, and the food and service was outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our Rehearsal Brunch. We were even able to show a video on the built-in projector in the upstairs private room. The staff worked with our wedding planner to provide tables and set everything up according to what we had envisioned. The menu was exactly what we were wanting and the event flowed perfectly. All of our guests were just stunned at the beauty of the room, the picturesque setting of the grounds, and the high quality food and service. We love going to Mattie’s just for dinner together too and have never had a bad experience there. I would highly recommend Mattie’s for your next date night or your next private event. You won’t be disappointed.

Green Pastures made wedding planning a breeze! Green Pastures is great because they offer great packages. There is no need to order linens, hire bartenders, rent tables, chairs, etc. The package even comes with two cakes, which were delicious and moist!

Kristi helped with everything - layout, budget, timeline, F&B recommendations. She even saved us when my DJ made a mistake with the timeline. She was professional, detail-oriented, and on top of everything.

My husband and I are extremely satisfied with their services and food. Our guests even commented on how attentive the servers were. Thanks for helping make our day so easy and special. We were able to enjoy it without worry!

My Husband and I wanted an elegant and beautiful southern wedding, and Green Pastures gave us everything we could ask for. From our first meeting we knew it was the place for us. It is in a great location, close to everything and yet you feel so far away when you are there. The grounds are amazing and very well maintained and everyone who works there is so nice. It was really a pleasure working with the staff there. We were given a coordinator, Kristi, who held our hands through the whole planning processes. She and her staff would send me occasional emails gradually asking questions through the whole planing process instead of having to answer a million questions all at once. That helped mitigate the overwhelming feeling of planing a wedding. Then, the day of the wedding we woke up to rain! I was so sad because I had so wanted an outside ceremony. I knew it was going to be okay because they did have a nice rain plan. But, a few hours before the wedding the rain stopped and the clouds cleared and they were able to do a very last minute switch to outside! I was so grateful and they were so sweet to switch even though they had already set up for inside. The ceremony and reception was beautiful, Kristi made sure everything went smoothly, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves. I got a million complements on how beautiful the venue was and how AMAZING the food was. They also were able to accommodate my guest dietary restrictions and allergies. OH, and the cake! For the bride's cake we did the white cake, with key-lime filling, and american butter icing. It was the best cake I have ever had. Right now the cake top is sitting in our freezer, but I don't know if we are going to be able to wait until our one year to eat it...ha! It was honestly the best cake I have ever had. I really can't say enough good things about the place. The food was fabulous, the grounds are lovely, and Kristi was amazing. She was exactly who you would want guiding you.

We worked with Nichole R., who was just amazing throughout! She paid attention to all of the tiny details, and was very prompt in her responses to us. She helped us pull the whole thing off without a hitch, even when we had to move indoors last minute due to weather! It couldn't have been a more seamless transition - no one even knew it had originally been planned to be outdoors! The space was amazing and the service was impeccable. And the FOOD was so much more delicious than I anticipated. I truly can't imagine having hosted our reception anywhere else!

We could not have picked a more beautiful venue for my daughter's wedding. The grounds, as well as the house, are just gorgeous….including the all white peacock you will occasionally see. The live oak trees surrounding the house provided shade for the outdoor ceremony. The food for the wedding brunch was excellent in both taste and presentation, and the staff so accommodating in providing exactly what the bride and groom wanted on the menu. The wedding cakes were outstanding in taste and beautiful as well. There was ample wait staff and supervision at all times. There was so much value in the money spent; the beautiful venue, catering and everything we otherwise would have rented, was all included in the price based on the number of guests. Everything that was agreed on at contract signing time…was provided the day of the wedding. It was a perfect day!

Just wonderful. The price can be a little daunting at first but you have to remember how much is included in that price tag, including the dramatic reduction in stress you will feel from not having to coordinate so many vendors. My wedding here was wonderful and the staff was so accommodating. They made the custom cakes, informed us off how much money we had as the night went on. They busted out the expensive bottles of champagne when we found out we still had a considerable amount of money left. I was so happy they didn't rip us off. I can't say enough good things....

I have nothing but good to say about Green Pastures!
We had an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding and Liz, the on staff coordinator, grasped the idea whole heartedly. The venue was beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and I had no worries at all whatsoever. Liz had it all covered.
