Strawberry Daiquiri Saturdi (sorry!)

This is always a popular choice from our menu, and we'll be serving these up at the 1st wedding fair of 2024 at the amazing Matara Centre in just over a week's time!

We'll be there with the beautiful Barbara, showcasing what we can do and meeting all the fab couples looking to book this unique venue (and hopefully us too!!).

Welcome drinks, after dinner cocktail package, or a party-perfect cocktail bar!

Dear Olivia and the Matara team,
We cannot thank you enough for how special you helped make our special day! Everybody commented on the amazing food and the gorgeous, one of a kind venue, that we sure did gall in love with and will forever be such a special place to return back to, to visit the gardens and our tree! I wish we could do it all again ❤️

A special thank you to Olivia! The day was perfect and so seamless and your calm and professional approach (even with my essay emails) made the whole process stress-free!

Thank you again for the most dreamy day, we're so pleased we chose Matara.

Lots of Love Jade & Liam Brown

Circles, and winding paths everywhere.

Some say that Geoffrey (Matara’s founder and mad creator) is obsessed by circles because of the symbolism of the rings on your big day. It has also been said that the winding paths that weave their way through the parklands at Matara are an analogy of the winding road of marriage.

Some say he’s just a man with crazy ideas, you chose what you want to believe.

Happy hump day. May all the humps in the road be bridges to greater possibilities.

Wherever you chose to get ready at Matara just make sure your tribe is there. While using a window as a mirror is an interesting choice we do have mirrors in actual rooms whether that is the honeymoon lodge, the zen rooms, the master suite in the house, or the dining room (cause let’s face it there are tables and great light in there) we hope your morning wedding prep is full of laughter.

The labyrinth at Matara is a great place to spend time whether on your wedding day or as part of your weekend outing.
It’s unicursal nature allows you to reflect as you follow it’s path to its centre and back to the entrance.

Flexing into the weekend with a little throwback to earlier this year when the Flex brought down the house at Matara

Women rock Wednesdays. This couple emanated so much joy on their wedding day even though the heavens split open delivering BUCKETS 🪣 of rain. Got to love British summer wedddings. The great news is Matara is the perfect outdoor wedding venue for your big day with the cloistered courtyard offering shelter for that outdoor feel without the outdoor torrent of rain.

Transportation Tuesday!!! Nothing says Classic Wedding style more than a vintage car. What’s your dream car to get you to the church on time?

Matara is a labyrinth of rooms allowing your guests to spread out and enjoy a little quiet/catch-up time when the dance floor is locked and loaded.

Rain on your wedding day helps strengthen the knot. AND you get to have an umbrella procession to plant your tree!!!
Stay dry out there tonight!!
