The best place to get married
I don’t even know where to start with this place and people that helped us. From day one till the day of our wedding and a year after, they definitely made us feel beyond special. The responded to every question of ours within 2 hrs. The place is beautiful, customer service beyond great. A year has passed and my guests are still talking about the place and the food. To die for … and on top of that they invited us back to the facility for a beautiful romantic dinner to celebrate our one year anniversary. I’m beyond grateful of this place and people who helped me especially Samantha Souza (Perreira). 10000000/10 -

Francesca Sent on 08/24/2023Had the most wonderful experience with Ruby Hill!
Since the day we came to check out Ruby Hill, we have loved not only the venue, but also getting to work with both Tiffani and Samantha and the rest of the RH team. They were always very patient and quick to answer all of our emails whenever we had any questions or updates, especially in the weeks leading up to our big day (we were sending them A LOT of emails!). Everyone at Ruby Hill was really friendly, genuine, and super easy to work with. We really had the most wonderful experience throughout our year-long wedding planning journey. Our wedding ended up being a big success! Everything went smoothly and as planned and our guests absolutely loved the duet entrees. Most importantly, the food came out in good time! Many of our guests also commented on how well-organized everything seemed. Highly recommend Ruby Hill for anyone looking to get married at a beautiful venue that was clearly made for weddings. The venue and surrounding areas are absolutely stunning, the staff are all super friendly and very organized, and the food is amazing! Thank you to the Ruby Hill team for helping our dream wedding come to life! It was a wedding to remember and we cannot be any happier!The Club at Ruby Hill's reply:
Francesca, thank you so much for the great notes, this is why we do it, when we can create your dream day, create memories for your guests, and family and make it special for you both then we did what we came to do! We are so happy and thankful for you allowing us to be part of this journey with you. Thanks for the notes on our service, it works both ways we were so happy to partner with you! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and hope to see you at the club. -

Natalie Sent on 01/30/2023Beautiful Wedding Venue
I photographed a wedding here in September 2022. It is a beautiful venue with so much to offer. The inside of the club is beautiful, and the outside patio area is amazing as well. So many great locations for portraits.
The wedding I photographed, it happened to rain, but cleared up enough for the ceremony to remain outside. The backup plan to have it inside on the upper level would have been beautiful as well, which is a rarity, not all backup plans are great, but it is here. Even though it rained, we still were able to take portraits outside underneath the covered areas.
Would highly recommend having your wedding here.

Jinger Sent on 12/09/2022The Perfect Venue
I am a wedding florist in Livermore and see a lot of venues. I work with Ruby Hill for many of our clients. When it came time for my daughter's wedding we knew the perfect place. The formal ambiance and particularly the staff made Ruby Hill an easy decision.
Everything was beyond perfect and made us feel so special from the signing of the contract, answering e-mails and walk throughs I knew I could relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding.
The day of the wedding I was in awe of how much all those tiny details that I focused on was done effortlessly.
The food and service was everything we have hoped for a fantastic black tie formal evening.
Tiffani Lew in particular is so professional and so experienced I trusted that I was in great hands and was so impressed working with her.
The only thing I wished for was more time for the day . Everything went so fast and before we knew it the lights were on and the last dance was over.
I loved everything about Ruby Hill and the staff that takes care of you. Best Decision Ever! -

Alyssa Sent on 02/06/2022So happy with ruby hill
I am SO SO SO happy we were able to have our wedding at Ruby Hill. Planning a wedding during COVID was particularly stressful and they were very patient and happy to answer any questions I had. The venue is just stunning and really helped make the night what it was. The ceremony location is so perfect with the greenery on the pillars as your backdrop. The photos we took in front of the giant oak tree turned out stunning, as well as the photos at the top of the staircase. We had our bridal party introduced down the big stair case each with their own "walk out song", followed by our entrance and we heard from so many guests how much they loved it. The reception space is so grand that you really don't need much decor, saving money and stress. Lastly everyone raved about the dinner food which is always a plus! Highly recommend! -

Outstanding !
Excellent service by the event coordinator and her team provided us pre-wedding and on the wedding day.
Our event coordinator (Tiffani) was there early in the morning to help setup the stage - all by herself because the staff could not come until later. This is what I call 'customer service' ! Kudos to Tiffani !
With many of our friends' sons or daughters getting married in the next year or two, I am sure The Club at Ruby Hill will get a lot of references, customers and accolades.
From start (in dealing with Chrissy during the sales phase, etc.) to finish (dealing with Kate, Tiffani, etc.), it was a class act. -

Tracy Sent on 03/17/2021Top notch service, experience, and beautiful venue
We booked our wedding during the pandemic for a date further down the road were so lucky The Club at Ruby Hill was offering a flexible package during the unprecedented times. We worked with Janan and throughout the whole process, Janan and her team put our needs, safety, and vision for the wedding above all else. Janan was super responsive, made the process incredibly easy, and made working with The Club one of the best client venue experience we've ever had! Thank you Janan and team for making our day a dream come true!! -

Jennifer was professional extremely responsive when I was looking for a last minute venue to host my ceremony. She was easy to work with and provided an in person tour. The pricing was great for a $750 flat rate for 3 hours. I wish I had more time to really capture the beauty of this venue. I highly recommend it! -

Amazing Wedding Venue!
Our wedding at The Club at Ruby Hill was absolutely perfect! We could not ask for a better location, venue, staff, and service. The scenery around the venue was gorgeous with the golf course, greenery, beautiful houses and hills. Everything was so well coordinated every step of the way, the food was great, and the service was excellent. Our guests could not stop raving about how much they loved our venue and all that it provided.
Our day of coordinator was Janan, who was wonderful. She was there for us since day one when we booked the venue to our rehearsal and wedding. Janan was so sweet and patient with all of the questions and concerns we had throughout the process and ensured we had the perfect and seamless wedding day. We cannot thank her enough! -

Wedding of our dreams!
We knew when we walked into The Club more than a year from our wedding date that this was the venue of our dreams! From the high ceilings, the grand staircase, and the golf course backdrop, this location is nothing short of a dream. Janan was a pleasure to work ever since our first meeting as she was responsive and super helpful with our wedding planning. She was quick to answer questions to my numerous emails and really was just so patient with me. She works with so many couples and really made us feel special whenever we met or spoke. We worked together for over a year having in person meetings and through emails regarding anything and everything wedding related.
Fast forward to a year of planning, we couldn't have been more excited for our wedding day! At our rehearsal walk through, my husband and I dropped off a bunch of decor for Janan and her team to set up the next day. I left instructions on each box on how things should be placed for our ceremony and reception. Janan was super attentive and was patient while I explained where each piece of decor was supposed to be set up. Rehearsal went smooth despite our huge wedding party. This isn't Janan's first rodeo so she was able to gather and round up everyone and do our walk through. This lasted about an hour.
On the day of our wedding, we entered the venue and we were just in awe. All the decor we left for Janan and her team was placed perfectly and lit up the room. We can't thank them enough. My husband and I were in "go-go-go" mode that day so we were so thankful that we did not have to worry about setting up the reception/ceremony. Janan greeted us on wedding day and was the captain of our ship. She worked with our wedding party and venders and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be.
The staff and bartenders were very kind to me and my husband and we thank them for taking care of our wedding of 150 guests. Thank you to the chef and kitchen staff because our guests could not stop raving about the food! Our short rib and chicken duet plates were a hit! We would recommend The Club at Ruby Hill for any couple who is looking to have a beautiful grand wedding. We wish we could relive the best day of our lives! -

Christopher Sent on 10/28/2019Amazing Venue, Even Better Experience
There are many beautiful venues around this area. Each one provided a blank canvas for you to personalize. What set this apart from venues was the sales staff and coordinator (which was the same person for us, Jennifer Franklin). During our wedding venue hunting experience, we were met with either seemingly uninterested or just plain rude wedding salespeople until we met Jennifer. Myself not having any experience with planning events let alone a wedding, she was able to make this experience more fun and relaxed. Whenever my then fiance and I would stress about something, she would find a way to destress the situation and walk us through the issue we were facing. She was able to listen to our requests and provide suggestions where she saw fit without being so imposing on her own personal opinions. In our eyes and our guests' eyes, the end result was a flawless night. If there was an issue during the event, it was masked because we didn't see it and neither did our guests. We got compliments left and right from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and how much FUN they had. From people who have been to a million weddings, they showered us with compliments on how "lit" yet elegant it was. Again, my wife and I have to give Jennifer and the rest of the Ruby Hill staff a huge thanks for a PERFECT wedding reception. -

The Club at Ruby Hill is a phenomenal venue. If you’re looking for a venue that is romantic, chic, and memorable, this is it! I first fell in love with the venue online, but when I first stepped foot at the facility, it took my breath away. The staff and Jennifer Franklin was amazing, they cook care of our needs and answered questions right away. I would love to also throw my vow renewal at this venue because it’s so beautiful. The food was amazing and on time, we had open bar and appetizers at the meet and greet and again after the ceremony, for reception we had salad, main entree, and cake. My guests were floored even told me it was the best wedding they have been to. The staff were always around and pleasant to our guests. I didn’t hear any complaints. Thank you again Thr Club at Ruby Hill and Jennifer Franklin for our amazing wedding experience!!!

Chenyang Sent on 10/05/2019Amazing venue and staff members
We just had our wedding two weeks ago at The Club at Ruby Hill.This venue deserves the best rating for a lot of reasons:
1. The venue is located in a gated community. Guests need to have an ID to enter from the main gate. So it has all the privacy you need for a wedding (as opposed to a hotel, for example).
2. The venue is located in a very scenery community, which has beautiful lawns, trees, lakes. On our wedding day we took photos on the arch bridge over a lake near the main gate, which came out amazing.
3. The venue, which is a golf clubhouse, has all the facilities you look for in a wedding: both outdoor and indoor ceremony spots, indoor ceremony spot, a standard hardwood dance floor that is centered among the reception tables, cocktail reception area with outdoor heating devices, brides and grooms room, etc.
4. The clubhouse has quite an upscale look. The design, furniture, decoration, ceiling, etc., all look pretty spectacular.
5. The staff members are great. We worked closely with the event manager Jennifer F in preparing for the wedding. Planning for the wedding was not a simple task and Jennifer gave us great help. She was very approachable, attentive to details, thoughtful and caring. I'd like to say that I wish I knew more people like Jennifer in my life.
6. The cost is surprisingly affordable. We booked it in February, during which they had the winter discount. But even without the discount, their price would still be reasonable. In choosing a perfect wedding, we visited more than 10 venues around the bay area. Most of them ask for more money and have less to offer, as compared to The Club at Ruby Hill.
Our wedding went very well and it will be a piece of important and fond memory for us. I'm glad and feel fortunate that we chose the right venue (and of course put a lot of efforts into it). -

Amazing venue, made for a picture perfect wedding!
Choosing to have our wedding at The Club at Ruby Hills was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the spaces that it had to offer for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and bridal/groom suites perfectly matched our needs for the day. From the beginning of our wedding planning process the staff at Ruby Hills went out of their way to make our experience easy and practical. Jennifer Franklin was our day of coordinator at Ruby Hills and our main point of contact for all of our questions leading up to the big day. Not only was Jennifer of great help in planning for all the details that we wanted to include in our wedding, but she did a flawless job executing all those details for us on the day of, not a single thing we asked for was left out. She did a great job in keeping us and our large bridal party on schedule throughout the day, and did so in the most calm, practical, and professional manner. Thanks to Jennifer and the rest of the Ruby Hills team, we were really able to enjoy ourselves on our wedding day and had nothing to worry about. We also want to add that their list of preferred vendors were all top notch and we were very happy with the choices we made on photographer, flowers, cake, etc. Not only were our vendors all great, but it made it stress free that they were all already familiar with the space and some even offered discount incentives for booking them through Ruby Hills. Overall, having our wedding at Ruby Hills was a wonderful experience, and if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t have changed a single detail. We highly recommend to anyone who is considering this venue to make an appointment and see for yourself all the great things it has to offer. -

Our experience at Ruby Hill was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone at Ruby Hill, particularly Janan Ali, made our wedding experience as simple and smooth as possible. She was patient, understanding, and very accommodating with our requests and culture. The venue itself takes your breath away - inside and out - for any couples out there reading this, you'll feel absolutely confident that you made the right choice the moment you lay your eyes on it. -

Jordan Sent on 11/20/2008Berni and Charissa are amazing. They are the two wedding planners at Ruby Hill. They make you feel like you are extremely special and like you aren't just another bride. Our wedding could not have been more perfect. Every bride talks about that one thing that didn't go quite right. I really can't tell you a single thing that did not go quite right. Our wedding exceded my expectations. Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this venue. It's beautiful and the people make it even better. =) -

Such a wonderful experience! We worked with Tiffani Lew and she was beyond helpful - super quick to respond with any questions we had, so kind and understanding, and so great with organizing all the details at the venue. We are so grateful to have had this venue and this team for our big day. We had a religious ceremony here and it was also great that they were knowledgeable and had worked with many of our vendors already. Would definitely recommend doing any event here! -

We toured this venue last week and it was so gorgeous! Looked straight out a fairytale. Outside ceremony area is beautiful and inside reception area was lovely as well. I could totally see our wedding happening here, but our only concerns are the price of the packages and that they dont include other vendors in the packages, so we would still have to book a lot of them like photography, photobooth, DJ, florists. -

Shanine Sent on 10/18/2019Beautiful venue and event coordinators!
Ruby Hills was our first choice and we don't regret it at all. Our event coordinators Janan and Lauren were responsive, understanding, and professional. Communication was definitely key to making sure all our needs were met, which included many last-minute decisions that they were able to make happen with no hesitation. The venue from the inside out was beyond gorgeous and matched the motif of our wedding. The food was great and the servers were attentive. The day of the wedding was simply perfect. Everything transitioned well. Definitely check out this place and their caring staff. You'll love everything about it! -
![LadyRein]()
Rein Sent on 12/11/2018It's Amazing... but here's why we didn't book it.
For your reception this place is amazing! If you have a large guest like I do (300) it's not ideal for hosting your ceremony. Jennifer was amazing. I'd love to work with her! Ultimately, as an event designer there are things I want to see on my wedding day. I'd also like for everything to be in one place. The ceremony space is just too small for us. But the price is good, the drive up through all those glorious mansions is amazing, and the space itself is so grand and luxurious. I wish the ceremony space was bigger. -

Elena Sent on 05/18/2019Beautiful venue!
This place is gorgeous! Very spacious but felt warm at the same time. My only complaint is that we didn’t receive our entree exactly as we ordered it. With a guest count of 260, most of our money went to food. So that was a huge disappointment. Other than that, the venue did a great job. If I could do it all over again, I’d still choose The Club at Ruby Hill. -

Sam A. Sent on 10/13/2021Beautiful Venue but Mixed Experience
the good things:
-The space is absolutely beautiful
-They have both indoor and outdoor space
-We were able to build our own menu and the food is delicious. We loved that there was a late-night snack option.
-Gillian was helpful and nice to work with
A cautionary note to people considering the venue:
-I read this in other reviews, I heard this from other brides, but I refused to believe it: they simply are not equipped to feed a 200 person event. Thank god all 200 of our guests didn't end up showing up- even with 170 guests, it took over an hour and a half for everyone to get their food and we had to push back our whole timeline while half our guests were hungry.
-It was very cold the night of our wedding and because of COVID, everything was outdoors. We had multiple discussions both via email and in-person about heaters. I asked questions like "should we have one heater per table? or what heater per every other table?" and every time my question was dodged and that should have been a red flag.... well it turns out the night of our wedding, they only had 2 heaters. For 20 tables. We had explicitly told our guests there were heaters so imagine our embarrassment when 30 people crowded around one heater to stay warm.
-We were offered the grassy area by the pro-shop for cocktail hour. I don't know if there were sprinklers or what, since there was no rain, but the grassy area was completely muddy when our guests got there for cocktail hour. We got a lot of complaints about wrecked shoes. If you have access to alternative spaces at the venue that don't involve grass, pick that instead!

![Janice]()
Janice Sent on 12/27/2018Beautiful Venue, AWFUL Service and Attention To Detail
We had our wedding ceremony/reception at The Club at Ruby Hill a few months ago. While the location was beautiful, our experience working with the venue to finalize details was very frustrating, and the service the day of our wedding was sub-par at best.
After we signed the contract, we worked with Janan from Ruby Hill to finalize the details of our wedding. While she was very warm and friendly, my fiance and I were frustrated that every interaction felt like it was an opportunity to upcharge us. Do you want a signature drink at your wedding? That will be $50 extra. Do you want that drink to sit on a drink cart? That will be $500 extra. Do you want the Market Lights turned on outside? That will cost you $1200 extra as part of their "signature decor" package. The simplest of requests were always met with a steep price tag. If you plan on having your wedding at Ruby Hill, definitely take these extra fees into account.
The day of our wedding, the Ruby Hill staff and Banquet Manager were completely disorganized. There were no food or drinks provided in the Bridal room (though it was clearly stated in our contract that it would be provided). After sitting in the Bridal room for over 3 hours with no one from Ruby Hill ever stopping by to greet us, someone in my bridal party finally took it upon themselves to find a Staff member and ask for water and fruit. The Staff were so disorganized that our personal wedding planner had to set up most of the tables herself because the Ruby Hill staff were so far behind schedule. We then found out after dinner was served that half of the tables didn't get served wine or bread and none of the vendors were served their meals (again, these are all items that were clearly listed in the contract and that we paid for!). This is beyond unprofessional. To make matters worse, 2 weeks before the wedding, Ruby Hill provided us with a very detailed worksheet we needed to fill out that detailed every aspect of the wedding ceremony and reception (how the napkins should be folded, what type of table clothes we wanted to use, what vendor meals were needed, etc.). One question asked us if we would like "ALL of our cake to be cut and served". We answered yes. At the end of the night, guests were complaining that they didn't get any dessert. We were confused and then came to find out that Ruby Hill only served half our cake (they didn't serve the top tier of the cake or the grooms cake). I have NO IDEA what the point of filling out the detailed wedding worksheet was for if it was clearly not reviewed and followed. The Staff at Ruby Hill were obviously not equipped to handle a wedding party of our size (200 guests), given the many mistakes and details that were overlooked.
Though our wedding was wonderful, I would not recommend The Club at Ruby Hill to future brides. They charge a very high price for sub-par service. I recommend checking out their Yelp reviews as well. Unfortunately, their disorganization seems to be a common theme.
