A Dream Come True

I just had my wedding here last weekend, and what a magical experience! The food was so good and even though we lucked out on weather, it wouldn't have mattered because the venue is so beautiful! The service was also fantastic! The serves took everyone's order, and the food came out perfectly! The servers were so kind and made sure everyone had a full glass during dinner service. The bartender was also incredible - memorizing orders of guests and making the drinks up as they approached her bar - it just added another level of personalization and elevated experience. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to - and I have...

So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to - and I have to agree!

I had a lot of stress over the wedding and Rey, the events manager, made the wedding everything and more for me. She communicated regularly with me since booking the venue over a year in advance. She was so quick to answer questions and was such a help day of. Rey helped my family style my decorations inside and outside the venue. With her wedding experience, she was able to curate and organize everything so smoothly. She even ran a rehearsal for us day of so that we and our wedding party knew what to expect. There was a couple of hiccups unrelated to the venue, and Rey was right there to make sure I was okay and make sure I had everything the way I wanted it, even pivoting plans so that I could have things my way and make the day special for me and my husband.

While the food was amazing, service was fantastic and the venue so beautiful! Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without Rey and her team, and I cannot thank them enough for that!

Wedding Photographer Review of The Rouge

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Rouge, and it was an incredible experience. This intimate venue combines elegance and charm, making every shot a dream to capture.

The Rouge features a lovely backyard garden where a large tent is set up, providing a perfect setting for both ceremonies and receptions. The space is beautifully designed, offering various picturesque backdrops within the venue and plenty of nearby locations within walking distance for stunning wedding party photos.

The staff at The Rouge were exceptional. Their organization and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly and on time. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making my job much easier.

The overall vibe of The Rouge is one of warmth and sophistication, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes both guests and vendors feel comfortable. I highly recommend this venue for any couple looking to create unforgettable memories on their special day.

Here are a few photos from the wedding to give you a glimpse of how magical this venue truly is.

Perfect Venue

Rouge was the perfect venue for us- outside, inside, ceremony and reception all at one place. The backyard and garden was beautiful and a perfect setting for our small wedding. The cost was incredible for the value received. Some people have said that Rouge is dated but it is not- it has character which is hard to find these days! The staff were incredible and wonderful to deal with leading up to the day, and on the day. If I were to do the day over, it would be here again!

Beautiful location and incredible team

Stunning venue with an outdoor garden setting that can’t be beat! The team at Rouge were amazing to work with as we planned our wedding. They were accommodating, well organized, and really went above and beyond to make our wedding day extra special. We received so many compliments on the food and how beautiful the venue is. The event coordinator was fantastic and always took time to answer our many questions quickly. We were so lucky to be able to celebrate our special day in this gorgeous spot.

Wedding went amazingly

I wanted a wedding that I would not need to do much in terms of decorating and setup/take down. I loved that I was able to do so with the help of the staff and people of rouge restaurant. They was always someone there to help when I needed to ask. They were able to make my choice of signature cocktail. The food was delicious. There was space for dancing and everything.
I'm happy I chose Rouge Restaurant for my special day

Great food and venue!

The crew at Rouge was great. We had to move everything inside due to weather and they dealt really well with my constant check-ins and plans. Our get ready rooms were amazing! They helped setup the extra heaters for the tent and ensured all the rental stuff was setup correctly. The food was amazing and they were able to accommodate all the allergies and food preferences. There was a couple small issues with the menu but they were able to fix one easily and the other we came to an agreement which was great. We highly recommend them for both ceremony and reception!

Great team, service, and food!

We just had our small wedding celebration here for the groom’s family’s friends and was really amazed at the level of service. First off, i originally wanted to book our wedding here but the date was unavailable. Rey the events coordinator was prompt and helpful when i made my inquiry so when we had another wedding event I thought of Rouge.

Our main server was great! She was patient and attentive with our guests who had limited English and handled everything so professionally and well! I am really impressed by the entire serving team that helped bring all the food so it would be served at the same time and for refills/wine. It was well coordinated and organized...

Our main server was great! She was patient and attentive with our guests who had limited English and handled everything so professionally and well! I am really impressed by the entire serving team that helped bring all the food so it would be served at the same time and for refills/wine. It was well coordinated and organized and according to the notes our main server made about orders (some guests skipped starter/dessert). We had some hiccups with our wedding elsewhere at another restaurant about dietary restrictions so I just thought certain aspects would be missed because our party was smaller here. They went above and beyond to make a drink for our pregnant guest as they did not have non-alcoholic options on the menu.

If this means anything, I will say that after hosting our wedding at a different restaurant we really do wish we had it at Rouge. The food and team here at Rouge was so much better and overall great! We wanted to be able to celebrate our anniversary at the restaurant where we held our wedding but after such a disappointment we knew we wouldn’t go back there again. I’m happy to say we will be celebrating at Rouge for our anniversaries to come!

They are Amazing!

The people here are very friendly, accomodating! The food is really delicious too and servers are nice and prompt!
If anyone wants to get marry in their special day once everything settles, this place is definitelyy one of the places people should look up to! They're highly recommended! It's a beautiful place! And we surely had a heart-warm experience for our dinner here. Wish we could do more, and we are hoping to celebrate here again once everything will be back to "normal". Thanks Rouge Restaurant!

Small Covid Wedding

We had our tiny wedding here during covid, and it was amazing! We had a private room, and an outdoor ceremony. Hand sanitizer was made available by the restaurant and all servers wore masks.
As for the venue: The gardens are beautiful, We loved the 'arch' tree. The chefs were out in the garden collecting vegetables and herbs for our dinner while we took photos and they were very attentive to to accidentally pop up in the background! The service was wonderful, they were very accommodating with all requests. we had several allergies in the family and they went above and beyond to make delicious alternatives for those who needed them.

The service was wonderful, they were very accommodating with all requests. we had several allergies in the family and they went above and beyond to make delicious alternatives for those who needed them. The groom is allergic to nuts and they made sure everything on the table was safe, down to the home made bread. For a dairy allergy they made sure to provide an excellent alternative to the cheese plate that looked just as good! The shrimp starter was the best thing Ive eaten lately, and all the wine was excellent. The bar is well stocked! We had the place all day, so a small delay in the ceremony was no problem, and the guests lingered till one in the morning with absolutely no pressure to leave. We were able to bring our own music and speaker for our dining room, and the private room for the party to get ready and change was lovely. We were able to safely leave our things overnight and come back the next day to get them, and the servers were able to recommend cab companies to the out of town guests who were unfamiliar with the city. A fantastic venue! We were extremely happy with them.
