The Buttonwood Manor

Planning a daytime wedding? The Buttonwood Manor in Matawan, NJ truly has a room with a view! The Caribee Room with its wall of windows looks out on a picturesque lake. The smaller Greenhouse Room overlooks the gardens. An attached deck is is available for an outdoor wedding, nestled between the lake and the gardens. A waterfall, small pond, the lake, and assorted greenery and flowers lend on site variety to your pictures!
The Caribee Room at the Buttonwood Manor itself is down a flight of stairs, but there is a ramp around back providing access to the room. Restrooms and the bridal suite are located beside the reception room.
The Buttonwood Manor has info available in the entrance area which talks about their "Affordable Elegance". Floral centerpieces and the wedding cake are included! The cocktail hour and dinner menus can be customized to your needs and budget. The hostess that greeted the vendors and bridal party as they arrived for the service was very helpful and accommodating. I really appreciated the nice cold glass of iced tea I was offered! Thank you!
One thing I noticed about the Caribee Room was although we were there for hours in the daylight, the sun never hit the windows directly. Sunlight streaming onto a dance floor or into the eyes of your guests can be harsh. Kind of defeats the purpose of a beautiful view if you have to close the curtains in order to see. The Caribee Room at the Buttonwood Manor provided a perfect view all day long!
