Beautiful Venue

Our Daughter & Son in Law were married here at Ruthe Jackson Center in October of 2024. Rebecca was very helpful from start to finish with the planning. When we had a question, she would answer our emails promptly. Everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is very spacious, & our guests gave lots of compliments. The bridal suite is beautiful and has lots of room for the bride & bridesmaids to get ready. Overall, it was a great experience & I highly recommend this venue.

September 2024 Wedding

From the very first walk-in to the wedding departure, the RJC was top-notch in everything, from welcoming, to listening to our vision for our wedding, to making sure we were happy with all the services and coordination with our other vendors. Cheryl and Rebecca are very gracious, patient, and the utmost professionals, yet very personable and fun as well. Our guests absolutely loved being at this beautiful venue, experiencing the great dinner menu options we selected, to the genuine “warmth” of the atmosphere. We are still receiving glowing comments about our wedding and questions of how we found such a beautiful place for our wedding and reception. The Ruthe Jackson Center’s beauty, professional staff, and reasonable fees are definitely worth your look and consideration for a wedding or other event. Thanks, Cheryl and Rebecca!!! You all made my dream wedding and reception a reality and a memory we won’t forget❤️

Amazing, perfect day

RJC was amazing! The venue is gorgeous and the coordinator did everything to make sure the day went smoothly. They even went above and beyond making sure our decor looked as gorgeous as possible. Rebecca was amazing at getting in touch with all the vendors and coordinating everything we needed to make our wedding day perfect!
