Ruby for the win!
The entire team at Ruby is such a joy to work with. I could not have asked for a better wedding venue experience. They answered questions in a timely manner and with a smile. They were always readily available on the day of our wedding, and made me feel at home on the day of our wedding. Seriously the best venue, and it ain't so bad on the eyes either. -

The most beautiful, intimate, and unique venue!
You can't go wrong with Ruby. It is such a wonderful and unique venue. We wanted an intimate wedding and it was everything we dreamed it would be. The staff is wonderful as well. Our wedding was a dream at Ruby! -

My dream wedding
My husband and I recently had our wedding and reception at Ruby in April. We had a destination wedding since our families are scattered all over the US. From searching, to securing our date, to hosting our wedding, Ruby was a delight to work with. Brenda and Dan were always quick to respond when I needed to ask a million questions. It was difficult to find a venue that allowed our two dogs and have the magic we were looking for. I never visited Ruby before securing my date, from the photos online I knew I had to get married here.
The venue is stunning - we just loved the modern industrial look! The building itself is a complete surprise and absolutely beautiful. It was so convenient to have everything happen in one location. I love how you are given a blank canvas to work with, it made for a truly special day. It stormed throughout my wedding and most of the reception. The covered patio came in handy. This is exactly what I've always dreamt my wedding would be like. Ruby exceeded my expectations, I’m in love with this venue. It’s perfect.-

Work Party
This facility hosted my work Christmas party and it was a blast. We were late finishing up and they helped us close up at no charge past our reserved time. It made me heavily consider them as a vendor for our wedding next summer! Perfect size for 30-60 people throughout the night. Allowed for our own hired bartender. Great decor before adding lights. Could imagine a ceremony there as well as a reception! -

Perfect for Everything!
The Ruby was the perfect space for our perfect day. It was a short distance from the busy downtown and made for a breathtaking canvas. We must have looked at 10 - 12 venues and we both knew the Ruby was the one after we walked through the huge front doors. It took us a year to plan, but the Ruby team supported us every step of the way. We are thankful for all that participated.
If anyone is ever interested in using the Ruby, I would always be willing to help. -

Our wedding at Ruby was perfect!
The elegance and simplicity of the venue is timeless. We had staff at Ruby coordinate everything the day of the wedding and it went even better than we could have imagined. All of the staff were courteous, professional, kind, and made everything as simple as possible for us. I would highly recommend booking an event/wedding at Ruby and using their staff members to coordinate. You will be very happy! -

We absolutely loved having our wedding and reception at Ruby! The venue is so unique. We especially loved the high pitched beams, original hardwood floors and concrete walls. The exterior is just as wonderful as the interior, all providing great backdrops for photos! Believe me, you won't be disappointed! Brenda Cook was a pleasure to work with and she provided great input and guidance in helping us bring our vision to life. Hannah Kate and Stephanie were great to work with the day of our event! They have everything worked out down to the smallest detail. Our guests raved about the venue. You won't be disappointed! -

Dan, Brenda & the Ruby team were so accommodating, professional and helpful. They really put me at ease knowing my special day would be in good hands- and it was. The evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The reception was seamless and every detail was thought of. Wish I could do it all over again!-

Our wedding at Ruby was more wonderful than I could have imagined and so much of that was due to Brenda and our day-of-coordinator Stephanie being on top of everything. All my questions got answered quickly and they were flexible in the few last minute changes we needed to make. The space is BEAUTIFUL and the courtyards and surrounding greenery meant we didn't have to go far to get some great pictures. -

This venue is everything. Seriously, made my heart sing.
Our colors were charcoal, light gray, white, and red. I picked these colors before I ever even heard of Ruby. As soon as I laid eyes on the place my heart was made up. The brick walls, gorgeous wood floors and doors, and gray EVERYTHING. It matched so perfectly I couldn't even handle it. PLUS, working with Hailey was so rad! She's the best! She crushed it. Truly best coordinator I could have asked for. SO so so stoked that this place held our best day ever! And so unbelievably grateful for everything Hailey did for us! -

Hailey, Ruby's in-house event manager, was such a pleasure to work with! She was SO helpful and patient and did everything she could to make sure our wedding was perfect. Ruby is such a unique venue and we have received so many compliments from our wedding guests on how great the space was. -

Ruby was more than we could have hoped for in a venue! There was more than enough room for all of our guests. It was easy to personalize. Plus getting the month of coordinator really helped us think of everything we needed and plan accordingly. Hailey was SO HELPFUL and so friendly we couldn't recommend anyone more highly. Ruby is the perfect place for a modern, intimate, non-rustic Nashville wedding. -

Ruby was the perfect place for our wedding... hands down one of the most unique and fabulous venues in Nashville. Brenda and Dan have worked very hard to ensure Ruby is a top notch venue from the architecture to landscaping. Hailey was absolutely the best as our coordinator and go to person about everything. Hailey and her staff were extremely helpful with every detail. They have a wonderful working relationship with so many vendors in and around Nashville, that it absolutely streamlines the process. Since this was a destination wedding for us, I relied heavily on guidance and suggestions from them on the entire process and everything came out perfectly! Our guests were so impressed with the venue. They really enjoyed the front courtyard! The entire venue is so beautifully done in every way and great care is taken to ensure everything is kept in top notch condition. The add-on rental options were such a great bonus for us and I'd recommend those to others. We couldn't imagine having had our special day anywhere else! Thank you Hailey and everyone at Ruby! -

We loved having our wedding at Ruby! Hailey was especially great to work with, and Dan as well. Hailey did a great job of comminicating with us along the entire journey leading up to our wedding and was always quickly responsive to answer our many questions. :) The venue is beautiful with lots of natural lighting, and you really don't need a ton of decorations to enjoy the space. Multiple guests of our wedding commented on how beautiful the venue was. Also being next to a park is a nice perk. My husband and I would both highly recommend Ruby to others for their wedding or another special event! -

Ruby was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. Not only is the space beautiful and unique, but it was the perfect size for us. We had about 120 guests and it felt big enough, yet cozy. The venue owners and manager were so easy to work with. It made planning a wedding a breeze! I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for both style and efficiency! -

Ruby is absolutely stunning - it was the perfect amount of rustic/industrial and was intimate without being too small for our 100 guests. I highly recommend the lighting package (the string lights are magical) and if we had used Ruby for our ceremony site as well I absolutely would have added the Edison bulb chandelier. We added on the day-of coordination and I can't imagine going without this - there are no words for how amazing Haylie was! She thought of everything I never would have and made the entire night flow smoothly. Dan and Brenda were so responsive, helped with all of my questions, and offered suggestions on how to make our floor plan work. Our families raved about how beautiful our reception was - there is no site more "Nashville" than Ruby! -

Ruby on Blakemore Ave in Nashville, TN was amazing. Dan and Brenda were so nice to work with and so helpful with all of our needs! The place was beautiful. The only downside I could think of is that the street noise was a little loud but it didn't matter to me at all! Modern feel with vintage, wooden touches. Lovely place owned and run by two lovely people! -

Beautiful venue, great value!
Ruby's main event hall is so beautiful, you could have zero decor and it would still be amazing. Brenda was very responsive and helpful prior to the event, and the day of went off without a hitch - as far as I know :) - which speaks to our coordinator and the venue. They do have approved vendors, which I was leery of at first, but it made the process of choosing easier and most of our vendors had worked together before. Ruby made our wedding even more magical, while still being one of the most affordable options. -

The staff at Ruby is incredible. They're calm, helpful, responsive, accommodating, resourceful, and full of excellent suggestions. They recommended all of our other vendors, who were fantastic, and helped us to adjust to any hiccups both before and on our wedding day. Because of Brenda, Hannah Kate, and everyone else we worked with, our wedding was stress-free, fun, and very "us." If you get a chance to book Ruby, do it! -

Fell in love with this place immediately. The architecture is very simple and elegant and beautiful as a blank slate. The outdoor areas were perfect for cocktail hour and pictures! The venue manager is amazing! She was very responsive and extremely helpful throughout our entire planning process. Could not have found a more perfect venue! Nashville venues can be expensive, but I felt like Ruby was affordable considering everything and a great value. -

For a September 2018 Rehearsal Dinner for our son and bride, we wanted something that wasn't "cookie cutter" such as some of the standard restaurant or hotel dining choices. Once we saw Ruby, we looked no more. It was beautiful, and unique. We loved the feel, the location (just off West End near Vandy - and beside iconic Dragon Park). We met with the owners (Dan and Brenda) initially and they stayed involved and in touch through the process. Their staff who was on point for the event was very helpful. In the days after the dinner, we received so many compliments from the guests - many said it was the best rehearsal dinner they have attended. -

Incredible venue!
My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Ruby this October! The venue was exactly what we were looking for: beautiful, indoor, close to downtown, and able to host the ceremony and reception! We toured both Ruby and Clementine, but decided on Ruby because it just felt right when we were there! Our planner worked with them throughout the planning process and it was very easy. The only reason why I selected 4 stars for value and flexibility was because the back "tent" behind the building caused confusion and frustration. It's rented by the venue and we had to provide and pay for it for the catering staff, even though its there year round. My planner handled this dilemma, so to be honest I didn't have that much to worry about. Thank you Ruby and staff for creating the best day of our lives!-

November Reception at Ruby
Ruby was the perfect size venue for our smaller wedding reception of 115 guests. The venue was gorgeous and felt very cozy and intimate. We got many compliments after the event that guests loved the unique setting. Brenda and Dan (owners) were great to work with! -

I absolutely loved working with Brenda and Dan to plan our wedding ceremony and reception at Ruby. From our very first meeting, I knew we had found the perfect wedding venue and felt very comfortable with. Every question was answered promptly either by email or the very handy project planning site Basecamp. Their Pinterest page is every wedding planner's dream. They have so many great photos from so many events, not just weddings, and photos of the bare space. The look of the venue can be totally customized and Dan and Brenda are extremely helpful in logisitics planning. -

Great venue. Beautiful and simple on the inside. The white textured walls are interesting enough that you won't necessarily need decoration, but are neutral enough that you could put up anything you want (within limits of course). Having both the ceremony and reception in the same location worked out very well. Liberty (the rental company) was great, and flipped the entire ceremony room into a reception very quickly. And with just a $500 add on, having both at the same sight was well worth the price.
The Owners are also very helpful and know the Ruby very well. They gave good insights into what works and what doesn't at their site, and don't try to upsell you on things unless they truly think it's in your best interest.
They were fairly flexible. You have a few furniture suppliers to choose from and apart from a couple of companies, you can have pretty much anyone cater. We did two food trucks, which was very manageable given the property.
Pricing may have been our main issue. The venue itself was fairly inexpensive, but if you're hoping to utilize a lot of friends and family to reduce cost, they may push against that. They have their reasons, which are legitimate and we thought that friends and family not having to worry about the logistics and just enjoying themselves was ultimately a good choice. Just bear in mind that a wedding will run you about 10,000 here if you're doing dinner, dancing, etc.
Overall a great venue in a great location, with very helpful Owners. -

I had my ceremony and reception here and everything was truly lovely. Brenda has a wonderful understanding of the space and can inform decisions about number of guests, catering, and decor while also listening to your vision. The white walls, dark floor, and huge windows make the space beautiful on its own and hugely versatile to decorate. There are tons of great places to take pictures nearby and parking is pretty easy. I felt calm and organized on what could have been a hectic day thanks to the Ruby team. -

Ruby is the perfect venue if you're looking for a truly customizable wedding experience (within reason). Which is precisely what they're going for, calling themselves a "blank slate" venue. (Which means they don't include much--you're essentially just paying for the room and some minor lighting).
Some things I would caution others on is to be aware that you will more than likely not receive a rehearsal in the space the day before your wedding as there are constantly events being held in the space. Furthermore, while it is flexible within reason as far as vendors are concerned, there are several vendors that they have exclusive contracts with, which will impact the price. Additionally, the venue does require you to have a Day-Of Coordinator, (which, to be honest, is money well spent in our opinion, but something to be aware of).
Positives are: the room is beautiful, you can have a small or large wedding (ours was about 180 people), the lighting they provide is more than adequate, the location is amazing, you can have outdoor and indoor activities, and as long as you are within the confines of their exclusive vendor agreements, they are very flexible. Additionally, their staff is great, and our DOC was our hero an innumerable amount of times due to her connections and experience.
All in all, we loved having our special day at Ruby, and we think anyone would, too! -

great venues (despite hiccups during planning)
PROS: highly knowledgable staff with great insights into what would(n't) work in the space; beautiful space that worked perfectly with the vibe (natural and low-key) and size (130 people) we were working with; well-established, such that most of our vendors had worked with the space/staff before; DOC were on it
CONS: no option for rehearsal; 3-4 instances of amenities shown on Pinterest no longer being offered/allowed; a few misses on business etiquette (a few responses returned later than promised, a passive-aggressive email about a vendor with the vendor CCed, we were not told that our original DOC had left the staff)
OVERALL: We planned our wedding, so a planner would have taken care of most of the cons without us even hearing about them. With a planner, we hands-down recommend Ruby. Without a planner, the experience was still event despite the hassles while planning. -
