Event space was large, convenient to travel too, and hospitable. Would highly recommend!
Speakers could use a little upgrade to be more compatible with higher end DJ equipment but it was fine nonetheless.

The Rutherford is perfect for those who want to host a party in a more upscale location. The venue was classy, lively, and immaculate. Our guests complimented the choice of venue as well as the food that was served. The staff was attentive and very helpful. Jack, the bartender, even gave me a drink on the house. It was also a pleasure coordinating the details of the event with Emma. Will definitely consider this venue again in the future.
