We’ve decided to postpone our wedding. We hope you’ll save our new date, 6/12/21, you can update and change your RSVP anytime on our site. Wishing you all health and safety, and looking forward to celebrating together!
The Rutherford is operating in accordance with the advice of the state and federal governments and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Reduced Capacities: We have reduced our individual and overall room capacities to ensure comfortable social distancing, and increased floor space in order to maximize your guests’ experience. Whether you are hosting an intimate vow renewal for five guests, or even wedding for 170 guests, we are ready and able to safely provide an enchanting event. Please note that these are subject to change as we are continuously monitoring CDC and state guidelines and will adjust room capacities appropriately. Guest Screening: Signage will be placed at the entry points requesting guests NOT to enter if they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms or have been asked to quarantine by a healthcare provider in the last 14 days.
Masks: The Rutherford is strongly encouraging that all guests age 3 and up, who can wear a mask, do so while not stationary or seated. Masks will be provided. Staff and other vendors are required to wear masks and other protective PPE such as gloves, for the entirety of their shift as well. Food and Beverage Guidelines: Required for caterers to consider presenting menu items individually, when practicable, and/or utilize the plexiglass barriers. This means no self-service food stations/buffets are permitted. Social Distancing: Sneeze guards are projected to be installed at all bars to ensure adequate distance is maintained between team members and guests. Seated tables will be set at 6 feet apart from other tables, bars and food stations. Seating capacity for each table is 8 guests per table. Entertainment is permitted; band members must maintain distancing, even during performance.
Dancing is permitted and the client(s) must follow the venue dance floor spacing guidelines based on current capacity requirements per state guidance. Ceremony and reception layouts will adhere to current capacity and spacing requirements per state guidance. Singing is permitted, singers must maintain distance between each other, and singers must be set a minimum of 6 feet apart from guests. Sanitation: All guests will have access to hand-sanitizer dispensers (that use a sanitizer greater than 60% alcohol) that are located at entrance and throughout the venue. All spaces will be cleaned, and all guest areas sanitized between events with hospital grade disinfectant. Our staff will sanitize high touch areas throughout the event. Please let us know if you have any questions! The Rutherford 520 Rutherford Road | (864) 735-0615
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off!
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes. If not, we would prefer if it was just you! Let's admit it, with all of the amazing people in our lives you're bound to have a great time.
Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose.
We would really appreciate you limit cell phone and camera use during the ceremony. We promise to share all the photos from our professional photographer!!
You've come to the right place. Here are some of our favorites that are downtown and also have outdoor seating: Nose Dive This is where we had our first date! They have a great brunch too! Rick's Deli & Market More budget friendly option, but all of Rick Erwin's restaurants are great! Roost Connected to the Hyatt Regency, a delicious farm to table restaurant! Grill Marks This is where Sam worked before meeting me, and he always raves about their burgers! Jiana A little pricy, but hands down the best Italian-American cuisine downtown Trappe Door Again, a little pricy but very good Belgium food (no outdoor seating) Ink N Ivy Did someone mention a rooftop? Yup! An overall crowd pleaser! Here are some options that are outside of downtown: The Bohemian Cafe The Anchorage Topsoil (Vegan friendly) Fork and Plough Farmhouse Tacos Tandem Creperie Sidewall Pizza For other suggestions visit https://www.visitgreenvillesc.com/food-drink/!
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we have not arranged a shuttle for guests. The venue is 2 miles from downtown Greenville and does have parking available on either side. It would also be a very short Uber or Lyft ride!
