We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Rutherfurd Hall earlier this year, and we can't speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking—elegantly designed with gorgeous views, and it has an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and intimate. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Especially when we had a lot of challenges finding a venue for an Indian wedding to fit all your needs! A huge part of what made our day so unforgettable was the incredible service provided by the Director, Nick Serraino. From our very first meeting, Nick went above and beyond to ensure all your requests were accepted. He was incredibly kind, and always available to answer questions (which we had many of) or offer help! His professionalism and warm personality made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. We can’t thank him and his team enough! If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers stunning surroundings but also a team that genuinely goes the extra mile to make your day perfect, look no further than Rutherfurd Hall. Our wedding is always a topic of fond memories at all other family gatherings! We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience and the kindness of Nick!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cedar Crest Farm was the perfect, exclusive venue for our wedding day. From their excellent, prompt, and genuine communication leading up to the event, to the incredible value and quality of their unique, rustic, and historic property, we could not have asked for a better experience. The beautifully maintained grounds, annual fall pumpkin display, handmade haybale couches, and fun lawn games like cornhole and croquet made our celebration feel truly special and connected to the natural setting. They also went above and beyond, suggesting easy and beautiful DIY activities like s'mores packs, charcuterie handhelds, and custom water bottles to enhance our "day after" luncheon. We are so grateful to the Cedar Crest Farm team for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending an event at this beautiful site. The suite they offered was on a private floor and had a spacious and exeptionally clean bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area. The outside grounds included small bodies of water, one with a bridge to a small island. The island had a gazebo and sacred site where we sat and meditated together. We felt so at peace as we enjoyed a light breeze coming through the willow tress. There were many lounging areas with hammocks, rocking chairs, and even a large fire places outside the pool house. We can't be more grateful for our experience here as my wife and I reached a new level of intimacy with each other. The hosts we were very accommodating and made us feel at home.

I don't even know where to begin because I have SO MANY positive things to say about this venue. If you are considering booking here, just do it NOW and get the date set! Our wedding yesterday was completely flawless. Kaitlyn is worth more than here weight in gold and made the planning process so easy, with frequent and fast communication. I was always told by other brides that you should never use the word "wedding" in front of a request because there will always be an upcharge, and that that most venues will try to nickel and dime you and fail to tell you about things last-minute. Not so with the Phoenix. Kaitlyn fully understood our budget and did everything to make sure we stayed within our range, yet we didn't need to skimp on anything! There was full transparency and very quick email communication about details. I was amazed at how she remembered every little thing we asked for and was so organized the day-of, even though they had just a had another event the night before. All of our guests were raving about the deliciousness of the food, which was served hot and on time. I adored the way that the crudite was displayed; instead of just on boring platters, they placed it very artistically around a table with a lettuce trim. Everything was so elegant and well-decorated with our color theme, and Kaitlyn was able to use her own creativity to make our dreams come to life. The bartenders were one of my favorite parts of the wedding. Most bartenders just do their job, but both of ours went above and beyond being so kind and engaging with everyone. One was even headbanging to a song with our guests! Clean up at the end of the night was super easy and Kaitlyn had already started preparing everything without making us feel that we were being rushed out. She was visible the entire night in case we needed anything - but we didn't, because everything was operating like a well-oiled machine. I'm only getting married once, so I won't be booking here again. :p But I sure will be recommending it to every up-and-coming bride I know. Thank you so much, Kaitlyn and the staff of The Phoenix, for making our day so wonderful!

We recently attended a wedding at the most breathtaking barn venue, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every single detail had been thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. The decorations were absolutely stunning — a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication. Twinkling string lights, delicate floral arrangements, and vintage-inspired accents created an atmosphere that felt both cozy and grand. What stood out the most was the incredible attention to detail. From the hand-lettered signage to the carefully curated table settings and custom touches throughout the space, nothing was overlooked. Every corner of the barn felt like a work of art — warm, inviting, and completely personal. The setting was not only picture-perfect but also incredibly comfortable, with seamless transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was clear that a lot of love and effort went into every aspect of the day. If you're dreaming of a romantic, thoughtfully designed wedding that truly captures the spirit of celebration, this barn wedding sets the gold standard. An unforgettable experience from start to finish.

We love Rustic Ridge! We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding here. There are so many things that we loved about it. The price of the venue was incredibly reasonable, and it allowed for a very personalized wedding which we loved (no required vendors). Wally, the owner, was amazing to work with. He had great recommendations for vendors, was very communicative and accommodating, and made the whole process so easy. We also loved that our friends could camp at the venue, which made figuring out transportation a lot easier. Lastly, the venue itself was so beautiful! Our guests gushed all night about what a perfect backdrop the valley was for the ceremony.

Having our wedding at Handsome Hollow was an absolute dream. Kate and her team are professional, thorough, and beyond helpful before and on the day of the wedding. The location and grounds are stunning! We chose to have our ceremony in the fern forest a little ways up from the barn - it's like walking into a fairytale. The barn is a beautiful reception space that's open, inviting, and even more magical after sunset under the glowing string lights! We had a few guests including a couple of our family members who required assistance walking at certain times, but that was not a problem at all... The team communicates like special special forces to make sure everyone is comfortable and anyone requiring assistance gets shuttled swiftly by an off road buggy wherever they need to go! We also got shuttled as Bride & Groom does have it's privelages :) It was such a relief to know everyone was taken care of. Staying in the guest house was fantastic. The morning of the wedding I got ready upstairs in the barn loft, while my wife had the farmhouse the with hair/makeup and all of that. It's such a cute house, and was so nice to not have any traveling before our big day. Everything you would need is stocked at the farmhouse and help always seemed readily available if needed. It was just the relaxed easy going atmosphere we needed to chill out as much as possible before the wedding. There are so many great nooks and places for photo ops at Handsome Hollow! For a summer day it wasn't too hot at all, maybe the elevation helps a bit with that! It was warm before the ceremony when we took some photos in the sun, but we just cooled down in the farmhouse afterwards. The ceremony in the fern garden was under cover of trees so it was perfectly cool (both temperature and vibes!) The barn just seems to stay cool also, so that was no issue at all. We didn't get a chance to eat our desserts, so the team brought them up to the farmhouse for us to enjoy after the wedding was over. It's that level of hospitality, and so appreciated. My only regret is that I couldn't split myself into two people so I could not only get married, but also see the food buffet, see the s'mores by the campfire, watch our first dance (we nailed it!!). Luckily we had a phenomenal wedding planner (Lauren / Wild Blooms Bridal), and phenomenal photographer (Joshua Brown) to compliment the venue! It was truly an amazing day, and we can't thank you enough. You cannot go wrong with Handsome Hollow!!!
