    The best wedding venue in the Triangle!!

    I can't say enough nice things about the beauty of this venue and the quality of their team! Sarah and Heather worked so hard to coordinate the best wedding day experience for me and my husband. It's in a great location in downtown Cary close to hotels and lots of nice restaurants for our out of town guests. The house itself is sooooo beautiful. We ended up having our ceremony and reception in the indoor carriage house, which was a great size for our party! You can take so many lovely pictures on the grounds of the venue. It even has a bridal suite upstairs and a groomsmen suite downstairs! My husband and I stayed at the venue for our wedding night in the bridal suite, and it was just heaven! It's a wonderful venue for every memorable occasion!

    Thank you so much for your kind words Samantha! You were both such a pleasure to work with and we wish you all the best!!

    Matthew's House

    We just had out wedding at the Matthew's House at the end of October and had the best experience! The venue is beautiful, with natural decorations and plenty of parking. Sarah was amazing to work with and could anticipate our needs before we even knew what we needed. The mix of the outdoor/indoor space is what sold us and everyone loved the different options! The day ran super smoothly and was mostly stress free. We recommend the Matthew's House for your wedding needs!

    Went to a wedding here of a family member. Upon arriving met with friendly staff and they were friendly during the entire event. The area was clean and due to the mixed cultures of the bride and groom they were made to feel comfortable as the decorations were elaborate and beautiful. Moreover, an Item of mine was misplaced, and the staff spend the night looking for it and giving me updates. They went out of their way to find it. I left without the item and left my number. That morning I received a text that it had been found. Since I was no longer in town, they mailed it to me and withing a few days it was returned to me vial mail. I feel the staff went out of their way to help me. I don't usually write reviews, but I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

    Thank you so much for your kind words Nicholous! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us!

    Amazing Venue

    Sarah was amazing to work with. We had to move our ceremony and reception due to Covid but still wanted to get married on our original date. Sarah allowed us to use the venue for our elopement which was extremely nice of her. She was very helpful when we moved our date as well as she sent a list of several dates the venue had opened so we could pick one. The venue itself is very beautiful.

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Thanks Jessica for your kind words! It was an honor to witness both of your ceremonies! I wish you both the very best!

    Beautiful Historic Home Venue

    We had our wedding here on 4/16/22 and it was PERFECT. So much better than we ever could have imagined. Sarah was incredibly responsive and helpful in the lead up to the wedding and put us in contact with the caterers for everything we needed. Heather worked as our coordinator and was a GENIUS. She was excellent at everything, made sure our day ran smoothly, and made it so stress-free for us as the couple. I knew we didn't have a thing to worry about with Heather at the wheel. I seriously cannot recommend The Matthews House enough for your big day!

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Thank you so much Charlotte! You were all such a pleasure to work with and I am so happy you were pleased with you day. We wish you the very best!

    Great service and venue!

    We loved our day at the Matthews House- it is a beautiful venue with options to have your ceremony outdoor or indoor which was really helpful when it was pouring the day of. Our coordinator (Sarah) and her team were so flexible with us and let us make the call on whether we wanted the ceremony outside or in just a few hours before it was scheduled. Super attentive and I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything the day of!

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Thank you so much Ryann! It was such a pleasure working with you both! We wish you all of the happiness :-)

    Best Venue EVER

    I can't say enough great things about The Matthews House. We got married in March and I was nervous that it would be cold and the grounds would be brown. However the lawn looked stunning for our ceremony, and we were so lucky to have absolutely gorgeous weather. Sarah was so helpful through the entire process and was available anytime I wanted to stop by and visit. I also can't stress how amazing it was to have a wedding coordinator for the day. Jeannette was assigned to us and was FANTASTIC! Did such a great job of making sure everything ran smoothly without directing anyone or coming off rude. She was an absolute sweetheart. Her and Sarah also helped a ton with decorating and setting everything up - note that they have a huge closet with decorations you can rent, including a photobooth. HIGHLY recommend. I couldn't ask for a better place!

    Thank you so much for the kind words Lindsey! I don't know how I missed this back in June, but I truely appreciate it! Best wishes!

    Fantastic!

    Had to reschedule our wedding not once but twice- thanks Covid. Through it all Sarah and Heather were absolutely fantastic to work with and extremely accommodating. Price is very fair for the area and everything that you get. Absolutely loved having our wedding here!

    Sorry that I somehow missed this last year! Thank your for your kind works Stephanie! We wish you all the best.

    My Dream Wedding!

    The Matthews House provided the perfect location for my wedding! It is a beautiful house with a ton of charm. The garden and patio are so beautiful and well kept. Even though you are in downtown Cary and there is some traffic/train noise you still feel secluded and it was not an issue for our day (our guests could hear fine with us having mics). The ballroom is elegant and large. My guest count was around 90 and we fit very comfortably. Sarah was amazing and very accommodating in giving access to the house for tours, bridals, day of, etc. She was very easy to work with and responsive. Our day of coordinator (which was included), Heather, was very nice and helped everything run smoothly during the rehearsal and day of. The Matthews House is a great value (I did all inclusive package with food/drinks) and really provided the classic/elegant feel I wanted for my wedding!

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Michelle! We loved working with you and your family! Warmest congratulations :-)

    A Dream Come True

    Our wedding experience was a rocky one, by once we met Sarah and booked The Matthew's House, it became much much more enjoyable. We lost our venue three months out from our date and I was scrambling to find a new place. Everywhere that I called was booked, but The Matthew's House wasn't!

    Sarah expertly added us in for a 100 person wedding that would use the entire property. Then COVID hit just two weeks later and that plan ended up falling apart. She was available anytime I had any questions and was instantly able to solve any problem that arose. The venue was absolutely gorgeous for my bridal portraits and we rearranged the plans for the ceremony right afterward.

    The day of the outdoor, 10-person ceremony, a massive thunderstorm opened up just minutes before the ceremony was about to begin. It sounds like something out of a soap opera. I was nervously pacing in the blue bridal room because I couldn't go downstairs to redirect the decor or anything, but the weather didn't even phase Sarah. My family was wowed by how she "worked magic" to transform the inside of the house into a stunning altar. When I walked downstairs and saw the place as I walked up the aisle, I felt so so so grateful to have her on our side.

    The cost of the venue worked really well with our tight budget too, which was a massive relief. We hadn't expected to pay for a new venue with just three months to go in our budget, but it ended up being the perfect place.

    The Matthew's House is a stunning venue and Sarah is the best coordinator a bride could hope to work with. Thank you to Sarah and her team, who made all our dreams come true after waiting a decade to get married!

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Emily, you are the sweetest! I am so happy to have been a part of your day. I wish you all of the best.

    Beautiful Vendor

    Sarah and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with! We changed venues at the last minute to accommodate for less people due to COVID. Sarah helped us plan the new event in a month. She was very responsive to all questions and met with us multiple times to make sure everyone was on the same page. Sarah and her team helped our wedding day go off perfectly. It was better than we could have imagined and they had a back up plan for any situation. To top it off they were very safe and had a great COVID procedure set up to keep vendors and guest safe!

    The Matthews House's reply:

    Rachael, thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you both and we wish you the best!!

    Beautiful venue

    The Matthew's House is a perfect place to host your wedding. We looked at several venues but The Matthew's House stood out among them. My guests were talking about how gorgeous the place was. I also love that there are bridal and groom suites where you can get ready and just relax before the ceremony. The ballroom is a perfect size for my 93 guests and a dance floor. The owners, Sarah and her husband, are very warm and welcoming. My coordinator, Heather, is very sweet and professional. She was very patient with me and she did an awesome job with her team in making sure my wedding goes smoothly. My husband and I are so happy we picked this place!

    Our dream come true!

    This venue was an absolute dream come true! All of the wedding details, my dress included, were decided on to “fit” the venue feel. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing staff; everyone we worked with throughout the planning process was great. Jannette, our coordinator, was the best and made the day-of stress-free! We can’t wait to go back and visit :)

    The Matthew's House is absolutely beautiful and makes a very charming venue. Our guests kept complimenting how cute of a place it is! You have tons of options with caterers and how you want everything to flow and be set up. Sarah was great to work with and was flexible when figuring out when we could drop off stuff and set up. Heather, the coordinator, was absolutely fabulous to work with and really went above and beyond! I would 1000% work with them again for my next event.

    We got married at The Matthews House and the entire wedding planning process from selecting the venue, talking to the owner Sarah, planning the details of the wedding with their wedding coordinator, Jannette, to executing all of those details day of our wedding was incredibly easy! If you are looking for a one stop shop venue, The Matthews House is the place (plus it’s unique and provides beautiful areas for pictures)! Sarah and Jannette want to make sure you are happy / respect your decisions while ensuring the important details (e.g., timing of ceremony events) are planned appropriately. We wanted to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the same venue, get married outside, be able to have guests wander inside and outside during the reception, and ensure set-up was easy with use of in-house china and catering. All of these things were possible at The Matthews House. Having Jannette as our day of coordinator was extremely helpful and allowed the bride, groom, family, and friends to enjoy the event and not have to be part of logistics on the day of the wedding. Overall, we highly recommend The Matthews House – book it! You won’t regret your decision!

    The Matthews House could not have been a better value for us. The venue is absolutely beautiful and at a very reasonable price. It has a hybrid set up so it was perfect for when our wedding day turned out to be cold and rainy. They had no issue accommodating for the weather. Jannette, our onsite event coordinator, and the management are extremely friendly, responsive, and flexible. They really make the experience as valuable as possible for you.

    I cannot say enough positive things about our whole experience with the Matthews House for my daughter's January 6th wedding. From our first visit to the house to the last pick up of wedding items, every detail completed above and beyond our expectations. Jannette and Sarah handled all of our questions/requests with quick responsiveness and great input. They made us feel like ours was the only wedding in town! The bridal portrait session, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and send off were magical. Every thing that my daughter had hoped for and envisioned for her wedding came true. Jannette was amazing as the wedding coordinator for us. She took our vision, and completely executed to every detail and even provided her own creativity and opinion based on her vast experience. . All we did was drop everything off at the house the day before! The house, grounds and ballroom are beautiful and well cared for. All recommended vendors did an amazing job. Only wish was that the weather would've have been a little warmer, but that's out of everyone's control! The Matthews house has helped to make a once in a lifetime memory that our entire family will cherish forever.

    The Matthews House was AMAZING. The space is gorgeous and there's so much to do with it. Jannette and her team are flexible, accommodating and legitimately didn't say no to us regarding a single thing. They did all the decorating and the ceremony and reception both looked absolutely beautiful. I didn't have to make a single decision all day and Jannette kept things running smoothly and seamlessly. People have commented to me about how well everything seemed to flow and this was ALL because of Jannette. Jannette is funny and so personable. I wish I could have a wedding every year just so I can continue to work with her and use this beautiful space. The location was absolutely worth every penny of what we spent for it, including the extra hours. The Matthews House definitely should not be overlooked!

    The Mathews House created and provided extraordinary service to make my daughter's wedding a flawless one! From the planning stage, being open and receptive to special requests, throughout the set up and rehearsal, to the final moments of the evening, Jeanette exhibited the highest level of respect, humor, compassion and professionalism! It was a pleasure and privilege being guided by her experience, kind heart and gentle spirit. Thank you for a host of incredibly beautiful memories. Jane Clay
