We chose Mattie's for our welcome dinner location. My MIL worked with Lexi to get everything set up. It's a lovely venue, and the food is incredible, however the only reason I am docking a star is because I felt the responsiveness was a little slow. There would be exceptionally large gaps in time when we would get a response. This only became an issue when we were about a week out and Lexi went on PTO (no shade, take it where you can!). However, I wish they would have designated a point of contact during Lexi's absence. Otherwise, we had an incredible time, and have received so so so many compliments on the venue being beautiful, and the food incredible. Thank you, Mattie's!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Mattie’s in November 2019. It was a nightmare working with Mattie’s and Lexi, the coordinator, from day 1. The property was gorgeous and food was delicious, but they are a mess. If I had known everything we were going to be getting ourselves into, we would not have gotten married there, no matter how beautiful it was. Here’s a list of everything that went wrong if you’re interested: *Before the wedding – We toured the property with Lexi and we were set on getting married there because it was so beautiful and immediately wanted to pick a date. It took her over a week to respond to every email. We called her supervisor several times asking for a different coordinator and were denied. They told our DJ he would not be able to play music during the ceremony and told him the incorrect place that we were planning to have our ceremony. They were deceptive about the pricing – quoted us one cost for bar package and then charged us for ano... Read morether. *Day of the wedding – The entire sound system that we were required to use malfunctioned 15 minutes before the ceremony. Our DJ had backup speakers in his car, so the ceremony only started 30 minutes late. Ceremony was in the back yard and we were assured that there would be no traffic in the ally during the ceremony. However, the Mattie’s staff decided to do all of their glass recycling during our vows. Part of the sound system included the giant projector screen in the reception area that would not roll back up, so we get to have a blank screen in all of our wedding pictures. Someone dropped a glass in the women’s bathroom, staff was notified, nobody cleaned it up, bridesmaid cut her foot, mother of the bride was on her hands and knees cleaning it up. The bride’s parents were the last table to be served dinner. *After the wedding – We learned that they knew the sound system was already broken from the day before. Lexi’s supervisor tried to make amends with everything that went wrong by offering an insignificant refund to try and offset all of the challenges. In our minds, it was not nearly enough.

Our Austin wedding band, Uptown Drive loves every chance we get to play live music at this historic wedding venue. Mattie's Austin is drenched in southern charm with its lush landscape, towering cypress trees & occasionally peacock sighting. It’s the ideal venue close to all Austin’s action but quaint enough to make you feel like you're far away from home. We can’t say enough about how picture-perfect Mattie’s is for any occasion! It's always a thrill being the event entertainment at this beautiful venue! https://www.uptowndrive.com

Mattie’s at Green Pastures is truly a hidden gem. We are so lucky that we got to hold our Rehearsal Brunch there. The scenery is downright gorgeous, parking is abundant, the peacocks are a plus, and the food and service was outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our Rehearsal Brunch. We were even able to show a video on the built-in projector in the upstairs private room. The staff worked with our wedding planner to provide tables and set everything up according to what we had envisioned. The menu was exactly what we were wanting and the event flowed perfectly. All of our guests were just stunned at the beauty of the room, the picturesque setting of the grounds, and the high quality food and service. We love going to Mattie’s just for dinner together too and have never had a bad experience there. I would highly recommend Mattie’s for your next date night or your next private event. You won’t be disappointed.

Green Pastures made wedding planning a breeze! Green Pastures is great because they offer great packages. There is no need to order linens, hire bartenders, rent tables, chairs, etc. The package even comes with two cakes, which were delicious and moist! Kristi helped with everything - layout, budget, timeline, F&B recommendations. She even saved us when my DJ made a mistake with the timeline. She was professional, detail-oriented, and on top of everything. My husband and I are extremely satisfied with their services and food. Our guests even commented on how attentive the servers were. Thanks for helping make our day so easy and special. We were able to enjoy it without worry!

My Husband and I wanted an elegant and beautiful southern wedding, and Green Pastures gave us everything we could ask for. From our first meeting we knew it was the place for us. It is in a great location, close to everything and yet you feel so far away when you are there. The grounds are amazing and very well maintained and everyone who works there is so nice. It was really a pleasure working with the staff there. We were given a coordinator, Kristi, who held our hands through the whole planning processes. She and her staff would send me occasional emails gradually asking questions through the whole planing process instead of having to answer a million questions all at once. That helped mitigate the overwhelming feeling of planing a wedding. Then, the day of the wedding we woke up to rain! I was so sad because I had so wanted an outside ceremony. I knew it was going to be okay because they did have a nice rain plan. But, a few hours before the wedding the rain stopped and the clouds ... Read morecleared and they were able to do a very last minute switch to outside! I was so grateful and they were so sweet to switch even though they had already set up for inside. The ceremony and reception was beautiful, Kristi made sure everything went smoothly, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves. I got a million complements on how beautiful the venue was and how AMAZING the food was. They also were able to accommodate my guest dietary restrictions and allergies. OH, and the cake! For the bride's cake we did the white cake, with key-lime filling, and american butter icing. It was the best cake I have ever had. Right now the cake top is sitting in our freezer, but I don't know if we are going to be able to wait until our one year to eat it...ha! It was honestly the best cake I have ever had. I really can't say enough good things about the place. The food was fabulous, the grounds are lovely, and Kristi was amazing. She was exactly who you would want guiding you.

We worked with Nichole R., who was just amazing throughout! She paid attention to all of the tiny details, and was very prompt in her responses to us. She helped us pull the whole thing off without a hitch, even when we had to move indoors last minute due to weather! It couldn't have been a more seamless transition - no one even knew it had originally been planned to be outdoors! The space was amazing and the service was impeccable. And the FOOD was so much more delicious than I anticipated. I truly can't imagine having hosted our reception anywhere else!

We could not have picked a more beautiful venue for my daughter's wedding. The grounds, as well as the house, are just gorgeous….including the all white peacock you will occasionally see. The live oak trees surrounding the house provided shade for the outdoor ceremony. The food for the wedding brunch was excellent in both taste and presentation, and the staff so accommodating in providing exactly what the bride and groom wanted on the menu. The wedding cakes were outstanding in taste and beautiful as well. There was ample wait staff and supervision at all times. There was so much value in the money spent; the beautiful venue, catering and everything we otherwise would have rented, was all included in the price based on the number of guests. Everything that was agreed on at contract signing time…was provided the day of the wedding. It was a perfect day!

I have nothing but good to say about Green Pastures! We had an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding and Liz, the on staff coordinator, grasped the idea whole heartedly. The venue was beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and I had no worries at all whatsoever. Liz had it all covered.

Green Pastures was incredibly helpful in planning our wedding. The staff was professional and polite. The grounds were beautiful and the guests enjoyed seeing the peacocks. I highly recommend Green Pastures!

I would recommend Green Pastures to anyone planning a wedding. The venue is gorgeous and the people are amazing to work with. They took care of everything and made it such a personal and wonderful experience for us! Our wedding could not have been more perfect!

Green Pastures was absolutely magical and worth every penny. We loved that catering was included, and that the location was close to downtown. We also used their chairs, tables, and linens. Their indoor/outdoor space is incredible and leads you to not have to worry about a weather plan (it poured on our wedding day, and we are okay!). We had our wedding coordinator communicate with the venue which helped a lot to improve the communication. Visit their restaurant (Mattie's) if you are considering this as your venue and you will probably fall in love!

I am very happy that I chose to have my wedding at Green Pastures and would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in Austin.

We had our wedding at Green Pastures and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were impressed with the value and the flexibility of the team, and were delighted that they could accommodate our modest, intimate vegetarian/vegan wedding painlessly. We worked with Kristi, who did such a wonderful job. She took us through each stage of planning, educating us about our options, and providing us with ideas and guidance when we weren't sure what we wanted. She helped us pin down a realistic budget, and we were so glad we didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. We were originally scheduled for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, but at the last moment we moved indoors due to rain. It looked like we had planned on having the wedding indoors all along, and everything was absolutely beautiful! We received many compliments on the food and the beauty of the grounds, and are overall delighted with our experience. Plus, the cakes were DELICIOUS. And they even made special... Read more chicken-finger meals for a couple of the kiddos in attendance! The peacocks were very cooperative, the grounds lush, and the indoor setting elegant. This venue provided so many lovely options for photos. Kristi made sure that both me and the groom had time to eat food, and sent us away with ample cake and 2 dinners to go--perfect for our first, dazed dinner as husband and wife. Kristi kept everything running smoothly...all we had to do was eat, drink, and get married! There were some VERY MINOR snags in what was otherwise a flawless experience--there was some minor family seating confusion due to the transition from outdoors to indoors, and a couple of the vegan/vegetarian meals may have been mis-served. We would not change a thing about our special day, and love that we get to go back to Green Pastures every year to celebrate our anniversary.
