Jenn and Tom had their wedding at The Refinery at Perona Farms in Andover, NJ which has quickly become one of our favorite New Jersey Wedding venues!
We got to know this couple during their engagement session at Hartshorne Woods Park. We knew right away they were laid-back and easy-going.
The bride’s dress was Made with Love from Lovely Bride and the bridesmaid dresses were from Azazie in the color “Champagne Rose.” Jenn’s earthy bouquets consisted of organic wildflower buds and greens with vibrant pops of color. Jenn and Tom were looking for timeless photos that would emphasize their Summer wedding. The overall vibe of the venue space is Industrial-rustic, with lovely outdoor spaces such as the bridge & fountain and tree-lined “orchard.” They chose The Refinery for it’s versatility. They loved the wall greenery in the ceremony room & ceiling greenery in the reception space.
They prepped on site in the suites, as well as held the ceremony and reception all on site. The day is always a breeze when everything is in one place! We utilized the pond across the street for their first look as Jenn walked out to Tom on the bridge. This spot is perfect because it’s private and secluded but your bridal party/family can watch from the suite windows across the street!
A special note at the end of the night was the cigar bar from 9-11pm! Jenn had an outfit change into a shorter length dress so she could really get down. Everyone had an awesome time!
“My cousin introduced us! We will be together 8 years this August 🙂 [edited to add they’ve now been together 10 years!] We love relaxing, vacationing, drinking wine, watching the Giants & Yankees and all things crime/murder/mystery on TV.”
And as we are writing this blog post, we’ve just learned Jenn & Tom are expecting twin girls this July!! Congrats to the Rutters!
