About this venue

At Rumsey Tavern, we believe weddings should feel personal, relaxed, and unforgettable—not rushed through a cookie-cutter venue.

Nestled in historic Shepherdstown, West Virginia, our property offers a unique blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. Exchange vows outdoors surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, celebrate with cocktails under the open sky, and continue the evening with exceptional food, handcrafted drinks, and a reception that feels more like an incredible gathering of family and friends than a formal event.

What truly sets us apart is flexibility. We work with each couple to create an event that reflects their vision, whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a micro wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, engagement party, or a larger celebration. From customized menus prepared by our experienced culinary team to thoughtful event planning and personalized service, every detail is designed around your day—not a predetermined package.

Our venue features beautiful outdoor spaces, a welcoming tavern atmosphere, ample parking, and multiple areas that can be tailored for ceremonies, receptions, dancing, and memorable photo opportunities. As evening falls, guests can gather around the fire pit, enjoy the surrounding scenery, and celebrate long after the ceremony ends.

We’re passionate about hospitality and believe every guest should leave talking about more than just the wedding—they should remember the experience.

Whether you’re envisioning timeless elegance, rustic charm, or something uniquely your own, Rumsey Tavern provides a warm, inviting setting where unforgettable memories are made.

Your love story is one of a kind. Your wedding should be too.
