The Matthews House

Grabbed a drink here this week and was pleasantly surprised by this secret gem. Beautiful home and lovely coctails.

Absolutely stunning venue! We held our wedding her in late December and the gardens were still beautiful even mid-winter. The staff at the venue is very friendly and helpful and the overnight suite for newlywed couple is very comfortable. Sarah was extremely responsive and provided us all the answers we need for our copious questions. We also loved all the décor that they venue was able to provide.

My husband and I chose to have our wedding at the Matthews House and it was the best decision we ever made. The location is wonderful, all of our out of town guests loved being able to walk to the venue, restaurants, coffee shops, etc from their accommodations during their stay. The venue itself is beautiful (I don't have all of my professional photos yet but make your photographer take photos of you in the upstairs bathroom/tub!!!). Sarah the owner is kind, easy to communicate with, caring, and wonderful. She was so helpful throughout the whole process (I planned my own wedding and it was so easy - they even have their own storage unit of decor so you don't need to buy anything!). Jannette was the wedding coordinator (included in the package) and my day would not have been as special without her help, guidance, and patience. She made everything run smoothly the day-of. I literally didn't worry about ANYTHING. She was detailed and meticulous and caring. My review could go on and on. Thank you to Sarah and Jannette, my day was perfect!

I love photographing weddings at The Matthews House. The garden is gorgeous for outdoor ceremonies, and the house and banquet hall are excellent as well! One of my favorite Raleigh area venues for sure!

A lovely spot for any formal occasion. I was surprised at how much parking there was. And there was accessible parking, too. The interior of the house is smaller than it looks from the outside. But there is ample space in the dining hall behind the home. I would say the only drawback to this place is the fact that there are too few bathrooms for a venue that accommodates this many people.

We had our Alice in Wonderland themed wedding 2/4/22. Everyone was so helpful throughout the process and the venue was absolutely perfect. Everything felt like a fairytale once you walked on the property. They have ample parking, they have the best coordination with vendors. The day of the wedding they handled everything with my caterers, decor, cake and my wedding party. The Matthews house in Cary really is an all in one venue that I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to hold their own Wedding. Thank you for the memories!

Just had our wedding here (12/12/21) and it turned out better than perfect!! Sarah helped so much getting us in touch with caterers, organizing decor, seating, just about everything! On the day of, she assisted with our wedding party, ceremony and everything alike. The venue was the perfect pricing and setting for the dream wedding we were wanting!! If you are in search for a stunning venue, amazing owners, and great value, look no further!! I can’t recommend this place enough, thank you!!!

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. Sarah was always up front and honest about what The Matthews House offers, and it is a GREAT deal for what you receive!
- The Matthews House has very few required vendors, but they do a fantastic job about giving suggestions and partners. I never felt forced to book with a certain vendor, but they were awesome when it came to recommendations. It felt nice to be able to personalize my day as I wanted!
- When booking you receive a day of coordinator, and this is AWESOME (plus it saves a LOT of money). Jannette was awesome - she was always super responsive to emails, took a long of attention to detail during our meetings, and was so efficient during our day to be a ninja and make sure everything ran smoothly.
- The Matthews House truly cares about what YOU want. We wanted an outdoor wedding and had multiple rain backup plans. It was sprinkling the few hours leading up to our ceremony, but lightened right as our ceremony began. My husband and I decided we still wanted it out and they allowed us to do so, but were carefully watching the radar and preparing for a backup plan just in case. It felt great to know they were giving so much attention to detail, but also didn't force us to go inside. They wanted me to be happy, and we are so happy with our decision!
- Talk about a stress free day! I sent Jannette all our information before the wedding and dropped our decor when we got in town (we moved a few months before the wedding). I didn't lift a finger on my wedding day! Jannette took care of EVERYTHING and made sure all vendors arrived and were set up, all our decor was out, and everything. The place was GORGEOUS. It was nice to trust someone who knew what works best at the venue. I don't think anything went wrong on our day, but if it did I had no idea!
- The house is beautiful. The inside of the home is gorgeous. The ballroom is newly painted with brand new chairs and they're beautiful. The grounds are very well taken care of and GREAT for photos. The Bridal Suite is comfortable, light, and a special place, and there's plenty of great light in the home that's a photographers dream.
- The Matthews House is a beautiful charm in Cary, with great service at a fantastic price. We are so thankful we found The Matthews House and that they were available for our date. Big thanks to Sarah, Jen, and Jannette for making our day so wonderful. If you're looking for a venue, you won't be let down by The Matthews House!
