From the reviews

Jannette was our coordinator and she did an amazing job of setting everything up as well as keep things running smoothly throughout the entire process, both before and during the wedding.
We had our wedding in October 2019 at The Matthews House and the experience was PERFECT. Ever since we first reached out to Sarah to inquire, we felt heard and taken care of. Some highlights of booking at The Matthews House: - The process from touring, booking, and payments was easy and quick.

Getting married at The Matthews House
The Matthews House comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Matthews House
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Matthews House — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
