    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.

    Excellent service, great communication, exceptional care

    Planning a wedding during COVID was no joke. With things constantly changing and the state shutting down gatherings, it was very stressful to make decisions about something seeming so uncertain. Yasha and Wallace were so communicative, prepared, and so professional. They were excellent partners, provided a great space, and were so generous to us throughout the planning process and stellar for the wedding. Best venue ever!

    Acosta Wedding

    Yasha and her team were really great to work with. They were very professional and organized which made the planning process go very smoothly. This venue was perfect for our needs! It was charming, plenty of space and most importantly was indoor/ outdoor. The patio was my favorite spot. With the chandeliers, string lights and candles it was a very romantic setting. Would recommend this location again and again!

    Beautiful brick venue!

    I knew that I wanted bricks in my wedding. I was going for an industrial/boho look and the Rutherford was perfect. I loved that they had the backyard area for the ceremony to be outside even though it was December. The venue allowed us to have a pasta wheel station work. They were very flexible with all of our requests and accommodated with pretty much everything with the ceremony and the reception. I had around 100 people at the wedding during COVID and they helped it feel like a normal ceremony for me and my husband.
    It’s a beautiful venue at a great price and very close to many hotels in Greenville. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. They know their stuff.
    I highly recommend The Rutherford. My pictures looked beautiful with all the brick!

    Wedding day!

    To sum up our experience with The Rutherford...MAGICAL. From the responsiveness, to the positive vibes throughout the chaos, we wouldn’t have changed a single thing and we couldn’t have picked a better venue!

    Great venue in Greenville!

    WE LOVE THE RUTHERFORD.
    Yasha and Wallace made the wedding planning experience so much easier for us! This venue is one of kind, and we knew it was perfect for us the day we saw it! It is spectacular, unique, and affordable. Our guests were raving about the space.

    It is difficult to obtain venue space in Greenville, especially ones that are affordable. We booked our date almost 2 years in advance, and we're happy we did, it's gained so much popularity since then! We recommend booking it early if you know it's for you!

    The space is very versatile and you can have just about any type of ceremony or reception in this space! The outdoor space is open, and well maintained, and was surprisingly quiet for how close it is to a busy road! It rained on our wedding day, and the original ceremony plan was outdoors, but Yasha and her team were great at forming and executing a back up plan, and our ceremony was even more beautiful inside!

    They are professionals, and Yasha takes great pride in her space, and they do require all vendors to have insurance and provide their contracts and plans to them in advance! They communicate with all of your vendors throughout the planning process. This provided us with a sense of comfort knowing everything was being handled by the venue and our vendors. It was wonderful to be able to just focus on other things and let them sort out the details!

    This venue was the most perfect backdrop for our big day! Thank you to Yasha, Wallace, Mickey, and The Rutherford!

    Wonderful Venue in Greenville SC

    Wallace and her team was a pleasure to work with for our daughter’s wedding. The space was perfect for our guest and every effort was made to make our special day even more so. They far exceeded our expectations. From planning to execution, communication was spot on and made the day worry free. Thank you to The Rutherford for a job well done.

    Fantastic venue

    Yasha and her team were so easy and fun to work with for our wedding. They're open to new ideas and really let you be creative and transform their space into your dream venue. We got so many compliments from family and friends on how beautiful the venue was on our wedding day and we didn't add a lot of additional decoration. This Rutherford also offers a lot of options for both ceremony and reception both indoor and outdoor which is a huge plus when looking to have both in one place. Definitely add this to your list of venues when looking in Greenville! Once we saw it we knew it was the perfect place for us!

    Experience of a Lifetime

    Having a wedding at The Rutherford is one of the best decision you can make as an engaged couple! Here are a few reasons you should The Rutherford: 1. The People (Wallace and Yasha) 2. The Space (no other venue has what they have) 3. Parking (its plentiful and free) 4. Location (close to downtown) 5. Vendor Policy (Easy to work with and still work with ones you love).

    It was not even a question for us when got engaged where the wedding would be! Luckily, we were able to find a date and plan a wedding in six months. The Rutherford made it easy, fun and beautiful!

    A piece of advice: Hire a a great planner that they recommend! The Rutherford works so closely with great planners and designers. This allows them to focus on all your venue needs while a planner can focus on your design and timeline.

    Thank you Yasha for being supportive of my vision and helping me bring it to life in your venue! You have created a one of a kind venue that was just what Greenville needed.

    Thank you Wallace for answering questions and being a sounding board on the ideas I presented!

    Thank you Mickey for helping guests with parking, escorting them inside and keeping everyone in line so that we all enjoyed the event!

    Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Space

    The Rutherford is an ideal wedding space in Upstate South Carolina and downtown Greenville. With 3 different spaces in one location there is a huge amount of flexibility for your special day. We utilized the gorgeous outdoor space for our ceremony and it was then flipped to our dinner. We then used the downstairs area for our rehearsal also utilizing their patio. We had two full bars, a dance floor and a stage with a live band! Yes it was a great party! There was ample space with tables and never seemed cramped for our 150+ guest count. They have dedicated parking as well as an amazing staff that was extremely accommodating. I couldn't recommend it highly enough - it is a great space for any sort of event as well.

    Classic and Beautiful

    The Rutherford is classic and beautiful. Hardwood floors, tall windows, private dressing room and restroom, sitting areas, open spaces, accent greenery wall and a large court yard, enhanced and helped to provided my daughter with a wedding that we will cherish for a life time. Yasha Patel and her staff were awesome helping to make the day a success from the being. Showing us different layouts for the wedding, tables for dinner, bar, and band. We were also able to rent some of the furnishing from the Rutherford. Thank you so very much.

    The Rutherford was AMAZING

    We loved the Rutherford! We had our wedding here in November and it was magical. Really the best thing about the Rutherford is working with Yasha. She was so helpful and generous. She really wanted our day to be what we wanted it to be (which shockingly isn't always true in the wedding business). She was flexible and attentive. She was AMAZINGLY organized. Without her, our day wouldn't have been as wonderful as it was. The Rutherford is so versatile too. Our wedding looked so different from others before us and we loved that there are so many different spaces between the indoor area, covered patio, and the lawn.

    Above and beyond our expectations

    My husband and I are from Florida and wanted to have our wedding in Greenville. We checked out a lot of different venues in the area but The Rutherford was the perfect fit for us! Not only is the venue unique with the indoor/outdoor space but it is also beautiful and can be transformed into exactly what you want. On the other hand, the character of the building speaks for itself so you can also go with minimal decor. Yasha, the owner of The Rutherford is very flexible and will go above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect wedding/event!

    Dream team!

    The team at Rutherford is very organized and communicative! This was the dream team that made our night perfect! Wallace and Jerrean have been so easy to work whether you have concerns, questions, or any last-minute changes. The venue itself was beautiful, clean, and their parking makes it super easy for all guests!

    Highly recommend! Looked into numerous venues for our daughter's wedding. She chose The Rutherford, which did not disappoint on any level! The venue was absolutely stunning on its own, not really requiring a lot of additional decor. Even the way the light came through the numerous windows made for gorgeous pictures. The large courtyard makes for a charming inviting area complimented by strings of overhead lights. Plus they have the convience of a large covered outside patio. There don't overlook the opportunity to use the venues sophisticated outdoor furniture. They made for cozy intimate places for guest to lounge. A wall of garage doors allowed combining of the inside and outside. Also take note when shopping for a venue that they have tables and chairs for rent at a fair price without additonal fees (setup/delivery). Sorry I don't have pictures yet to share. It looked right out of a slick magazine.
    Plus you learn it is important and makes the big day less stressful if your vendors have earned your confidence. The Rutherford's owner Yasha proved more than once that she genuinely wants you to be completely pleased and have an outstanding event. She handled every step along the way with kindness, understanding, passion, patience, promptness, and offered good experienced advice when asked, very professional!

    Beautiful Versatile Venue

    The Rutherford was perfect for our wedding. We were able to have our ceremony upstairs, sit-down dinner downstairs with dancing and games and lounging outside. Our guests had a great time and so did we. The planning process was pretty smooth sailing.

    So Helpful!

    Yasha and Wallace were excellent in helping us throughout the wedding process. Their guidance on timeframes, vendors, and flexibility with the vendors was so helpful. With Covid being so hectic, it seemed like some vendors were scrambling with labor. The Rutherford team supported the flexibility needed for that. I'm so grateful that I got to work with such sweet people like Wallace and organized like Yasha. It made the day go so smoothly!

    Beautiful venue - speaks for itself!

    This venue is so so beautiful - lots of exposed brick, large 2-story floor plan, and a large outdoor courtyard. The venue truly does speak for itself allowing for minimal decorations if desired. Yasha is super helpful and her response time is quick! Highly recommend.

    Efficient and Flexible

    The Rutherford was very flexible with us during COVID when we had to reschedule our wedding. They were willing to work with us during a very uncertain time so that we could have the wedding we hoped for! They were very organized and helped us plan ahead and keep track of everything. The venue has tons of options and is a perfect canvas to express your creativity. I would recommend the Rutherford to others seeking a venue in Greenville!
