The Hutton House Wedding Venue: Planner’s Expert Guide

Offering elegant surroundings, meticulous planning, and exceptional personalized service, The Hutton House delivers a distinctly memorable experience.

Wedding Day Prep at The Hutton House

Hutton Houses’ suites provide the perfect backdrop for your ‘getting ready’ pictures with your wedding party with plenty of natural light your photographers & make-up artists will appreciate.

The Hutton House wedding ceremony and reception spaces

The Hutton House offers two options for your wedding ceremony. If you want an outdoor ceremony The Courtyard is a beautifully manicured garden with tree lined landscaping and the romantic glow of bistro lights.

If you prefer an indoor ceremony or are planning a winter wedding, the Fireside Room features a classic floor-to-ceiling white brick fireplace and a contemporary wall of sliding glass doors, creating a serene and elegant setting for your indoor wedding ceremony.

As planners, having a ‘Plan B’ for weather contingencies is crucial, and The Hutton House provides the perfect solution with its Fireside Room.

Cocktail Receptions at The Hutton House

The Hutton House provides two options for your cocktail hour. Your guests can start the festivities in the outdoor courtyard, where they can enjoy woodsy views and romantic bistro lighting while mingling on the lush turf lawn. The tall arborvitae surrounding the courtyard create an excellent backdrop for post-ceremony photos.

The charming Fireside Room is a nice transition from a ceremony in the Courtyard and your guests can still embrace this outdoors with the sliding glass doors and embrace the warm romance of the fireplace.

Both of these options are absolutely stunning, which gives our couples such relief knowing that no matter what, you will love where you are saying “I Do”!

Receptions in the Lakeside Room

The Lakeside Room is a grand location for your reception. High ceilings with modern gold chandeliers and the warm white backdrop allows us to customize the space with your desired style & design.

The room is flooded with natural light from the sliding glass doors, allowing your guests to seamlessly move between the indoor and outdoor event spaces. The modern bar is a striking feature with its dark fir wood, multidimensional geometric pattern, and mirrored backdrop, serving as a stunning focal point.
