Absolutely Perfect! Beautiful location! Great Food!

We can't say enough good things about our experience using Rutherfurd Hall for our wedding venue. Our event manager, Sarah Jones, was amazing! She worked with us through every step of the planning process and answered our hundreds of questions in a very timely, professional, and efficient manner (especially the last minute, month-of/week-of questions that I asked non-stop!). We live out of state and she was very accommodating (giving our parent's an in-person tour in our stead).
Sarah and Chris were so understanding and accommodating throughout the covid experience. They worked with us, rescheduling multiple times (June 2020 pushing to October 2020 and again to June 2021), they didn't charge us any extra fees, and they worked with us through those stressful times when planning a big party in a pandemic was so stressful and uncertain. They made us feel like they genuinely wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams, and we weren't just another customer.
The venue is positively stunning! We had our ceremony and reception at Rutherfurd Hall, both outdoors. The backdrop of the lake and trees for our ceremony was so beautiful. The tent on the grounds was set up so lovely and the historic hall in the background (and the guests were allowed to explore the hall as well, or take a break for the excitement in comfy couches) was also beautiful and the guests were all impressed!
Some notes about the day-of: there was rain in the forecast and the staff was so amazing! We wanted our ceremony by the lake and they set up a room inside for the ceremony in case we wanted (or had-to) move it because of rain. They gave us both options and let us wait till last-minute to make our decision (so no pressure!). We decided to keep it outside, and the rain just held out for the duration of the ceremony! Cocktail hour, same thing. We were really excited to have everything outside as planned, and they made it happen! They moved cocktail hour under the tent and even though it started really pouring rain, everyone had a fantastic time (they even brought out big umbrellas for guests to use if they wanted to go into the hall to use the bathroom). The rain was really coming down, but the staff made everything perfect and the guests were comfortable under the tent (they put up and took down extra side panels on the tent to keep the rain out and let the breeze in when the rain stopped).
The food: the menu options were all great and there were plenty of options for everyone's taste. All our guests loved the food! And as the bride and groom, the staff was so amazing, making sure we had full glasses and plates of all the food brought to us (while taking pictures/etc.). The bartender was fantastic and there was never a long wait for our guests to refill their glasses.
The decorations: the staff was so helpful! The day before, they helped us unload two cars worth of decoration items and then they took it from there! Everything was set up just the way we wanted and looked perfect! Then at the end our special day, we were able to be sent-off (didn't have to break anything down), and they had everything back in boxes the next morning for us to just pick-up. They even grabbed the random items we left scattered about the place in the rush of getting ready/ taking hundreds of photos/ and quick touch-ups in the bathrooms and bridal/groom suites (like my sandals/makeup bag/ dress bags/ so on, which I had left scattered about in the bridal suite).
Overall: perfect!

The Most Beautiful Backdrop

Rutherfurd Hall was the location of the outdoor-garden-romantic-vintage wedding of my dreams! I had a very specific vision for my wedding day, and Rutherfurd Hall and the team at David's Country Inn (the exclusive caterer for Rutherfurd) helped to make my vision a reality. The team at David's has extensive experience with events and weddings and they also have an amazing network of preferred vendors that they trust. Sarah Jones was my event manager and did a fantastic job - especially when the date got closer and really helped lower my stress levels (cannot thank her enough!). The day-of went off perfectly - I couldn't count the amount of comments I'm getting from my guests about the whole atmosphere of Rutherfurd Hall!! The lake, the mansion, the grounds, the landscaping... It all was just perfectly amazing!

Unique space with amazing service

We cannot say enough fabulous things about the folks at David’s Country Inn. Rutherfurd Hall is a breathtaking and unique venue. It is perfect for a very fluid and inviting evening. It felt like we were hosting our own private dinner party. It was perfect. Honestly wish we could have spent all day there - the Bridal Suite would have been a bit difficult for hair and make up for my Bridal Party size, there were 8 of us getting ready. The space itself is just breathtaking. The pictures do not do it justice. The wooden details, the delicate trim, all of it is perfect. A lot of people use the property for the outside views of the lake, but do not underestimate the inside, it is stunning. If you want a way to save money on decorations, just get married here and do nothing besides set up tables and it will be gorgeous.

Sarah, our venue coordinator, is a saint! So easy to work worth and very on top of things. I was a very organized bride and she beat me to the punch more times than I could count. We did a lot of DYI decor and the team at David’s was so accommodating to those needs and made that whole process stress-free. The staff and David’s have a way of making you feel so special and cared for.

Outside of the amazing service the food is fabulous! Rutherfurd does not have an on-site kitchen, and the quality of food that came out of a food truck is remarkable. If you go with any of the venue’s David’s is involved with you will be in good hands, but Rutherfurd is really a special venue and unique end to end.
