Becca and the team made the wedding process fun and stress-free as much as they could! Each meeting we had leading up to our special day was full of love, and you could really tell...
they cared about us and made us feel so special! The venue is beautiful inside and out! The team was able to pivot when we had rain on our day, and you could never tell from their professionalism and how they made everything flow so smoothly!
Great venue! Has multiple areas that you can choose from for you wedding and reception. Becca, the wedding planner, is so amazing and sweet! She makes sure everything you need is a...
vailable. She even sets up everything for you so on your wedding day all you have to worry about it getting ready! Becca is the best to have help you!
2/22/25 wedding: Let me start off by saying, incredible venue, incredible people to work with, and our rehearsal dinner and wedding day was nothing shy of perfect. Becca, Tammy, Sa...
ndy, Tyler and everyone else truly went above and beyond to make our day incredible. It wouldn’t have went off without a hitch without them. They’re truly all so kind. They even gave a going away basket with a meal for each of us, little notes, and sweet goodies to take with us on our way. It was so personal, thoughtful, and kind! We felt heard throughout the entire process and our vision with the help of everyone involved was brought to life. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Mathews Manor and their staff. HIGHLY recommend.
Thank you for everything you and your employees did from beginning to end to make my daughter’s wedding amazing! That is no exaggeration. You went above and beyond in so many ways ...
to make it perfect for them!
The way you guys handled meetings and all details from beginning to end is very clear you are very good at what you do!!! You all did it with such style and attention to every single detail which did not go unnoticed!! The food for rehearsal and wedding was so good! Everyone told us how good it was!
Not to mention the huge smiles on all your faces both reversals and wedding days made it even more perfect!! It was so refreshing to have you all behind this!!! You were a huge blessing to us all and I’m so glad she chose your location!!
We are the parents of the groom so I will speak to what I know personally. The wedding and flowers were exactly what the bride was dreaming of. The venue was beautiful and the fl...
owers were gorgeous.
My issue is that we hosted the rehearsal dinner at Mathews Manor also, with around 40 guests. We had a buffet. Within minutes after they told us the buffet was ready we went to get food. I was the third one in line and my food was cold, NOT warm, it was cold. And the chicken was a strange texture, a little wiggly like it wasn't cooked all the way through. The bride said hers was pink inside and she was not going to eat it because she didn't want to get sick. Several other people wouldn't eat it because they believed it wasn't cooked through either. I ate mine but it wasn't good and I was nervous about getting sick.
My husband realized that the burners under the food had never been lit and told the staff, who did light them but everyone had already gotten their food so it didn't really matter.
Additional issues...they forgot to serve the coffee we ordered beforehand and my husband was never served a dessert.
When I sent an email two days later about the chicken and cold food the chef called to tell me that what I was claiming was impossible, that the food came right out of the warmers and was hot. He was mad at me for even suggesting it. When I asked him if he was calling me a liar he said no but that the food was not cold. And he heard the Bride's father say the food was delicious so therefore it was (no matter that I could have fed him dirty socks and he would have been nice enough to say the same thing anyway).
The wedding day I thought surely the food would be better. The head table was served a plated meal. My food was cold again...straight out of the kitchen. Honestly! Cold food after spending so much money??? The venue was beautiful (although it could use a rest coat of paint in some places), the flowers were stunning but the food was wildly disappointing! And the chef was never apologetic at all, basically just called me a liar. I thought maybe they would take 10% off of the food itself...NOPE! Nothing. Thankfully, I never have to eat there again!
If you don't have another choice or you have already booked them, the best items are the marinated pork tenderloin for the rehearsal dinner. It was actually delicious though not warm. Avoid the clumpy rice and the flavorless, too-pink lemon pepper chicken.
Had a beautiful wedding day here, however there were Pros and there was Cons
We'll start with the Pros - this is a BEAUTIFUL venue, the grounds are gorgeous as well as the building...
. Tammie and Becca are wonderful people and I just loved their families story about all the venues and the history. They did an absolute fantastic job on the floral arrangements, they were able to capture my vision completely. Dessert is a PRO as well, the peach cobbler had many compliments and where they got the donuts from got Rave reviews from all my guests.
Onto the Cons:
Wedding Planner - she was always missing, anytime we needed her we needed to ask someone where she was and wait for her to show up (the venue had another party that night across the street not sure if she was working both but that would explain why she was hard to find)
Food - was served cold, bacon around asparagus not cooked thoroughly
Service - the crew to bus the tables were not quick to come out and clear plates from tables, which left people who were not dancing to talk over half eaten food (this is one of things we had find the planner to get the plates cleared)
Fireplace - we asked that the outside fireplace be lit - we had to find someone to get this done but instead of lighting it they left the matches in front of it and we had to light it
Morning of - Food was promptly set up for us while getting ready but outside brides room, nothing brought upstairs for the groomsmen, so if they wanted anything they had to make trips down, which us not wanting a first look we had to make sure there were no accidental encounters.
Mimosa and drinks for men took awhile to get brought in as well
Bar - bartender seem to be not knowledgable about making drinks (didn't know a simple vodka/tonic its two ingredients) were told by some guests he was rude as well
I'm not going to sugar coat things, we had an unruly guest, which I was hoping to be able to rectify by removing said guest but instead police were called and bar was shut down and wrong guest was pinpointed as the culprit. This caused may of the guests to leave early thinking the whole venue was being shut down. I wish things could've been handled differently, a lot of this I blame the officers that came and not the venue. We still had a wonderful night with our DJ and Photo Booth from Platinum entertainment, totally recommend then as well as Vicki from B Short Photography.
Mathew’s Manor consistently exceeded my expectations at every step of the wedding planning process! From the tour to the wedding day and even afterwards, they were so well versed i...
n the needs of a bride and groom. Becca brought me to tears during our last wedding planning meeting by graciously taking multiple things off of my plate. I couldn’t be happier with how our day turned out and am so blessed to have picked a venue that worked so hard with us to make sure the day felt special and not just like a production. 10/10
We had a great wedding at Mathew’s Manor. They are more than just a venue, they also help you plan the wedding, cater, and, and floral. Planning the wedding through then went grea...
t, and they helped get all the details we were looking to include. I will say I wish we would have had a few more meetings with the day of director just so we could have had the schedule go a little more smoothly, but overall still a fantastic experience.
Awesome group to work with. They were so helpful along the planning process. We loved the feel of Micah’s Meadow barn area and the indoor/outdoor environment.
Mathew’s Manor made our day perfect. They are extremely easy to work with, flexible, talented, and friendly. Everything was thought of….everything was beautiful….everything was p...

We are very happy that we chose Mathew’s Manor for our wedding. It was a beautiful place and exactly what we envisioned aesthetically. Everyone we worked with was very nice and hel...
pful and worked hard to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. They are very helpful to work within your budget and make sure your vision comes to life. Food was delicious, flowers were gorgeous, nothing I would change. It made it very helpful to have all the flowers, food, decorations, and planning in one place so you only have to coordinate with one person and everyone knows your vision. It was a fun process and we felt like family by the end.
Man, working with these sweet people was a DREAM. They all made everything so easy! I didn't worry about a thing. They also listened to every single detail I wanted and followed th...
rough. My wedding day was exactly how I dreamed it would look. Brittany, Tammy, Sandy, everyone - thank you all so much for your patience, knowledge, and kindness.
I had my ceremony and reception at Mathews Manor and I don't think there is a better venue in the Birmingham area. The team at Mathews does just about everything for you (planning,...
food, flowers, and cake). They were the least stressful part of the wedding planning process. Brittany was our wedding planner, Tammy was the florist, and our day of coordinator was Francis. These ladies are ROCKSTARS!! I met monthly with Brittany and/or Tammy and on the day of seeing my vision come into fruition was the most amazing thing. They all did SUCH an amazing job!! Everyone has told me how beautiful the flowers and decorations were. Oh and the food was DELICIOUS! We were also Francis' first wedding as the lead coordinator and if she had not told me that I would have NEVER known! She did such a stellar job keeping everyone on track and ensuring that we weren't forgetting anything. She even had an issue with her car that caused her to call a tow truck and she was more concerned about our wedding going smoothly!!! We were both so impressed with the team at Mathews Manor and cannot say enough great things about them! If you book them for your wedding day you will absolutely NOT regret it!!! They will take care of you!! If I could rate this company more than 5 stars, I would!
Everyone at Mathews Manor was amazing to work with! They made sure that everything was taken care of, from the decor we were bringing to all the weather issues we had on the day of...

Absolutely THE best staff to work with. It really helps that they provide the catering, florist, and the staff the set up and tear down. The food is amazing too!

Mathews Manor was absolutely beautiful. They have a great staff who helped us plan the big day, and were very quick to answer questions. We went with Rebecca’s Garden, which is a g...
azebo and outdoor venue. The archway for the gazebo was done by the venue and was breathtakingly gorgeous! They would be receiving 5 stars if it weren’t for the sound system having issues during my ceremony. We also felt like the rehearsal could’ve gone more smoothly to better prepare us for the big day. These things aside, it was absolutely a dream.
Everything looked beautiful! Our only wish is that we could have used an app ursine cateror. The food was presented awesome and there was plenty for everyone but the the quality ju...
st isn’t there (especially considering they charge as much as any catering company). But everything else was above and beyond. The venue was even more beautiful than we hoped and the flowers were phenomenal.

This venue was the absolute perfect pick for us. Both our director and planner were absolutely wonderful and so kind. We will not be forgetting the wonderful day they made happen...

AMAZING customer service! Incredible people. They went above and beyond to make our big day perfect! We would recommend them to anyone.

earsal dinner was also at Mathews Manor. Again, the food was delicious and the staff was great! I'm so glad the good Lord led us to Mathews Manor. Our experience was better than we ever dreamed it would be. I highly recommend Mathews Manor. Shout out to Sydney(coordinator) & Jill(director). You guys are blessings to be around!!

ided. The reception was exceptional from the food to the hospitality. Mathew's Manor took care of all of our wedding needs. Stephanie, our wedding coordinator, was hands down the BEST! Ashley, our wedding director, listened to each of us and our important aspects of the day. Our guests continue to rave to this day about the food and cake. We could not have asked for a more perfect day!

Mathews Manor was SO great to work with. We got married after only planning for 3 months and they were so accommodating and got the ball rolling for us immediately! They help you a...
ll along the way and answer ANY questions. They were great for our fast planning because they do the cake, food AND flowers! And all of it was better than we could have even gone out and hired on our own. They have a wedding day coordinator that takes care of EVERYTHING the day of. I literally had to take care of nothing - she made sure everyone knew not to bother the bride and groom and she answered everyone's questions and took care of the rest of our venders too. Our wedding turned out exactly how we wanted it - romantic & fun. The great thing about MM is that you can have a black tie wedding or a backyard wedding. We personally used Micah's Meadow for the ceremony and Rebecca's Garden for the reception. They have multiple options for you to use for your special day. Overall I would recommend this to any and everyone planning to get married!
Mathews Manor was wonderful! Everyone there was so nice and helpful. They made planning the wedding go very smoothly and made the wedding day stress free.
Mathews Manor is beautiful and has several locations for a wedding, indoor and outdoor. They do just about everything, from the flowers, the food, cakes, decor, etc. Tammy (the c...
oordinator) made sure that everything ran smoothly so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would definitely recommend it!
Will go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything you want. The decorating, cakes, food, everything is spectacular and you couldn't ask for nicer people to work with.
Mathews Manor is a wonderful venue. Beautiful!! Staff is very helpful and makes everyting stress free. Food is great.
