Event-Ready Venue
Our venue comes complete with tables, chairs, linen, and various decor items. Once you book your event, you do not have to waste precious time and resources looking around for vendors and coordinating various basics. However, if you need additional items that aren’t included in our list of basics, our event directors point you to the right vendors.
Having served The Triangle event space for several years, we have established great relationships with various service providers like photographers, planners, decorators, florists, rentals, DJs, cake makers, and makeup experts. We would love to recommend the right match for your event.
Spacious and Elegant Ballroom
The Matthews House Venue has a spacious ballroom that can accommodate up to 160 attendees if seated and up to 200 attendees cocktail-style. The space boasts elegant furnishings that create a perfect ambiance for weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal shower teas, and anniversaries.
In addition to the ballroom, The Matthews House wedding venue has commercial kitchen facilities where fresh food can be prepared for an event’s attendees. You can bring a pre-approved caterer to manage your catering needs.
Alternatively, you can use our professional in-house Southern Harvest Catering, a team specializing in traditional and fusion Southern cuisine.
Versatile, Beautifully Landscaped Outdoor Space
For clients who prefer the outdoor charm, our neatly manicured grounds set under large trees would be ideal for their event. You can host your event at the spacious outdoor wedding venue, dance under string lights covering the patio, and play games by the fountain.
Booking the outdoor lawn does not prevent you from accessing the house. Your guests can still have exclusive access to the ballroom to dance the night away and any other unrestricted part of The Matthews House venue.
Access to Professional Support
Upon booking with The Matthews House, we offer an onsite coordinator to assist while using our venue for regular hourly events. The coordinator is available to offer service before, after, and during the event. We aim to create a smooth event experience for you.
If you are having your wedding at The Matthews House, you can utilize our event director to offer assistance with all aspects of your big day, including setting up work schedules, coordinating outside vendors, and keeping an eye on attendees to ensure they have the best time.

Although The Matthews House is a popular wedding venue, we host all events you can think of. Clients have hosted graduation parties, memorial services, birthday parties, tea ceremonies, baby showers, quinceañeras, and more.
