Matfen Hall Reviews (133) Write a review Where do we even begin! Venue Service By Matt and Matthew Rayson, on 22 Jan 2020Date of Wedding - 18 Jan 2020 Where do we even begin! We are just returning home after getting married at this stunning venue on Saturday! I can honestly say if you have gotten engaged and are looking for the perfect place, then look nowhere else than Matfen Hall. The first moment you walk in you are treated like family till the moment you leave! From start to finish our wedding planner Victoria has been a superstar and total made us feel at ease for the day. The day itself was just so perfect and Matfen Hall couldn’t do any more for us. It has etched a memory into our lives that we simply won’t forget! Personal thanks goes to Peter and Jackie for keeping us calm all day! A big thanks also goes to Des who nearly every member of our guests said he was a superstar. The prosecco record will take a while to beat I feel! Again look nowhere else, this place is da bomb! Matt and Matthew RaysonThe whole weekend was incredible!

The staff were amazing and food was insane! Please pass on my thanks to the chef, its rare to find places that the food is so delish and that my dad and french lot are happy with too! Thank you so much!We cannot thank you enough! Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Rivett, on 02 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 24 Aug 2019 As father and mother of the bride we feel we must write to thank you for such a wonderful day yesterday. The staff were exemplary in their service and welcome, the food was exquisite, beautifully presented and served to the highest of standards. The bar staff were helpful and prompt, nothing being too much trouble. The grounds, with the outdoor games were a huge hit. The hall blew most of the guests away with its grandeur and the little touches of the newly weds being introduced down the stairs, the lock on the bridge were just an example of going one step further. Our expectations were exceeded, our guests were so complimentary so we cannot thank you enough. Please do pass on our sincere thanks to all of your staff. Kind regards, Mr & Mrs RivettWe had the most amazing, magical day! Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Kerr, on 01 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 18 Aug 2019 We had the most amazing, magical day.

Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Payne, on 02 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 17 Aug 2019 We had an amazing day on Saturday! It was even better than we could have imagined and even the weather stayed nice!! We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your help on the lead up to our wedding, you were fantastic. On the day the manager and also the food manager (sorry I can’t remember their names) were absolutely fantastic. They kept checking in, kept me clam and also made sure everything was as we wanted it! The food manager also brought us some canapés whilst we were getting photos, which David loved!! It was all the little things that made the service even better than we thought! Please make sure you pass on our thanks to them! We can’t wait to see more photos, the setting was perfect! We also can’t wait to come back to Matfen! Thanks again for all of your help!
