Beautiful Venue, and Amazing Team!

We love The Rutherford! Yasha and Wallace were fantastic to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. The venue is gorgeous and makes for stunning photos. You truly get to make the space your own to bring your vision to life. We chose to have our ceremony upstairs, dinner outdoors under the lights, followed by a live band and dancing downstairs, and it was was absolutely perfect!

Hands Down, Our Favorite Vendor

Working with the team at The Rutherford was the easiest part of planning our wedding. We initially decided to use this venue because of the reasonable cost, but the experience went well beyond what we paid. We asked them for a lot of recommendations throughout the process and I highly recommend you do the same. They know their stuff.
