We’ve got 55 parking spots right here at The Rutherford on both sides of the venue. Need more space? You can add overflow parking at the plaza next door for just $150. We do ask that you remind your vendors to keep their cars to a minimum. And out of respect for our neighbors, please avoid parking in the residential areas or nearby businesses.

Our pricing depends on a few things—like the spaces you need, the month, the day, time block, and event setup. Think of us as the space and the extras! We’ve got you covered with the venue, plus tables and chairs to make everything comfortable and ready for your creative touch.

We're all about making The Rutherford your own! Feel free to bring in your own table décor and get creative with the space. If you’re thinking about hanging things from the rafters or ceiling, just make sure your vendor is licensed and insured—and nothing that could cause permanent damage, please! To keep everything in tip-top shape, we ask that you avoid using tacks, nails, glue, or staples.

Yes, you'll need to have a pro day-of coordinator (or a designated Event Manager for non-wedding events) on-site from the start to the finish of your event. They'll do the final walkthrough with The Rutherford team to wrap things up smoothly.

Your contracted time includes both setup and cleanup. We do recommend wrapping things up about 1.5 hours before your end time to give you enough time to clean up. Need more time? No problem—just let us know, and you can book some extra! We kindly ask that you take care of personal items, décor, and trash (including from the bridal suite). Basically, leave the space just as you found it—thanks for helping us keep it beautiful!

Your event has to be wrapped up by 10:00 PM, due to Greenville City noise ordinance laws.

At The Rutherford, we love live music and DJs! But just a heads-up—no outdoor amplified music allowed. Acoustic tunes are perfect for your ceremony in the courtyard! As for the warehouse, we have to keep those garage doors closed during events to keep things cozy and respectful for our neighbors. Thanks for helping us keep the good times rolling while keeping the peace!

All food must be full-service—no 'drop-off catering.' Your caterer will bring everything, serve it, and stick around to clean up throughout the event. At the end of the night, they’ll handle the final cleanup, including taking all trash to the designated trash bins.

​

Our sister company, Woodside Bistro is our preferred food caterer, we truly can’t recommend them enough—they’re fantastic!

We have a sister company, Southern Libations, that you are required to book your bar package through for your event. All alcohol must be provided by the vendor. Unfortunately, no other vendors may provide alcohol for events.

​

All packages are customized and uniquely designed to complement your event and budget.

Make sure to book your venue tour if you haven’t already! Once you’ve toured the space, our Venue Manager will send you all the info you need to officially secure your date. This includes the signed contract and a 50% deposit to lock everything in place.

We require a $500 security deposit. This deposit will be refunded within two weeks after the event, as long as the venue is returned in the same condition it was rented. If any additional cleaning or repairs are needed beyond normal use, those costs will be deducted from the deposit. If the event runs past the agreed-upon time, there will be an additional charges per hour, which will also be deducted from the deposit.

Our rental rates include 1 hour use of the facility for bridal portraits and 1 hour use of the facility for your rehearsal.
