Matfen Hall Reviews (136) 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 RaysonI am so so pleased we chose Matfen Venue Service By Kaz & Marc, on 12 Feb 2020Date of Wedding - 03 Jan 2020 Just wanted to say a quick massive thank you for all your help arranging our wedding. I can’t even tell you how amazing it was, how seamlessly everything ran and how brilliant all the staff were!! I’m still buzzing from it now! I’m so so pleased we chose Matfen and I’ll definitely be recommending it to everyone! Absolutely cannot wait for the photos!Literally the best day of our lives Venue Service By Claire & Rob, on 12 Feb 2020Date of Wedding - 21 Dec 2019 I just wanted to message and say a huge Thank You to you and everyone else at Matfen who made our wedding experience so fantastic. We had the most amazing day and each and every member of staff we spoke to or who was involved in the day were so kind, polite and made us feel so relaxed, happy and special. One waiter even came to find Rob and I at the end of his shift just to say he hoped we'd had a lovely day (apologies that I didn't get his name). Every guest complimented the venue and they were very impressed by the food. The decorations looked fantastic and were set out beautifully and I am in love with the bridal suite - it is the best room I've ever stayed in! We've loved every second of planning and meeting with yourself as well as staying the day after our wedding and putting our lovely new lock onto the bridge - such a nice touch along with the beautiful painting to remind us of the day. Thank you all for providing us with such wonderful life-long memories and literally the best day of our lives.Matfen will always hold a special place in our hea Venue Service By Mr & Mrs OMalley, on 12 Feb 2020Date of Wedding - 30 Nov 2019 Thank you all so much for everything you all did for us throughout the build up and on the big day.
