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 great, 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. Reviewed on 28-06-2023
Teresa Crow(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-08-2021 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 perfect. We even encountered some rain and they still delivered a perfect day for our family. You could not go wrong using this venue for a special occasion. 5 stars all the way around. - Mother-of-the-Bride. Reviewed on 03-08-2021
Leah White(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2019 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 helpful 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. Reviewed on 13-04-2020
Amy Burdette(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-01-2020 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 through. 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. Reviewed on 24-01-2020
Mary McCown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 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! Reviewed on 13-06-2019
Kristine Austriaco(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-02-2019 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 the wedding. I can not recommend them enough!! Reviewed on 10-03-2019
Tara Leeth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-11-2018 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! Reviewed on 14-01-2019
Gentry Bass(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 Everyone at Mathews Manor went above and beyond for us. From using old family recipes for our cakes to last minute ceremony location change due to weather, they were absolutely incredible every step of the way. Reviewed on 25-06-2018
Madison Redmill(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2018 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 gazebo 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. Reviewed on 16-06-2018
Piper Lambert(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 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 just 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. Reviewed on 30-12-2017
Laura Wells(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-10-2017 Absolutely amazing. The crew at Mathews Manor is wonderful. Tammy, Traci, and Brittany were all so helpful and accommodating. They made our wedding so much better than I could have pictured. Reviewed on 06-11-2017
Heidi Pratt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-06-2017 Best wedding ceremony site and people to work with. My wedding day was a dream and went off without a hitch.

Lizzie LeBeau(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 We held our ceremony and reception in Grace Hall at Mathew's Manor. The ceremony was outside and was beautiful with the natural landscape and flowers that the wonderful staff provided. 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! Reviewed on 17-07-2014
Shelley Barrett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2013 I chose this location after my brother had his wedding there. Stephanie and Carol were fantastic! The location is gorgeous and they were so accommodating. And the price is one of the best around! Reviewed on 18-10-2013
Emily Pair(groom)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2012 I chose MM because I fell in love with the beauty of Grace Hall. However they do not allow ANY outside caterers, bakers etc and I was disappointed with the quality of the food and my cakes. Reviewed on 11-01-2013
Erin Salter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2012 Stephanie was awesome! She helped me with everything. She was always there when I needed something. The place itself is gorgeous. My wedding was indoors with the reception to follow in the same place. The transition went smoothly/perfectly. They had lemonade outside under an awning while the inside was changing into the reception area. I have not heard any complaints! I would recommend this place! Reviewed on 28-08-2012
Casey Thrasher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2012 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 all 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! Reviewed on 19-07-2012
