About

Ruby is a gem of an event and wedding venue. But, we'll never tell you why we call her Ruby. Beautiful in her simplicity, and yet modern for her age. Flirty but deadly-serious, just like your favorite little black dress. Ruby is a vintage space that’s been renovated with a timeless classiness.

Ruby was redesigned and rebuilt her in 2011. Ever since, Ruby has has been an integral part the historic Hillsboro Village neighborhood. And being directly across the street from Vanderbilt University in midtown, Ruby seems to be at the heart of things in Nashville.

Perhaps Ruby's greatest claim to fame is its location within a Nashville city park, what everyone refers to as Dragon Park. The advantage of being an oasis in the park in the middle of the city is clear the moment you arrive. Decks and courtyards ring the historic structure are are used for bars, catering and everything else that benefit from the outdoors.

Our focus on venue architecture and design elevates the space to what we believe to be among the finest wedding venues in Nashville. The extensive use of hardwoods, concrete and Venetian plaster combine to create a space that is interchangeably described by our clients as historic, industrial and contemporary. Perhaps because we are in Music City, we chose to deliver the most comprehensive, integrated audio, video and lighting systems of all Nashville venues. And because we own the property, we were able to restore the building to an exceptional level of quality. After all, we think of ourselves as architects, designers and engineers.

What should you expect from us at Ruby? It's an important question to ask of an independent venue. We believe in simplifying the venue experience for our clients at every opportunity - and once you begin planning, you will likely become an ardent proponent of this philosophy. Freedom to achieve a boutique, one-of-a-kind event is another tenant we hold dear. And of course integrating all of the complex audio, lighting and other systems into our design is our hallmark.

We hope to see you for a tour Ruby soon.

RENTAL RATES: Rates are based upon the day of the week and season and range from $3,500 to $7,500.

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!

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!

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.

Ruby is a stunning venue (those walls!) and is the perfect backdrop for an intimate event. Brenda and Hailey are incredible communicators and super helpful in the planning pre-event. I'm eager to work at Ruby again and have no hesitation about recommending the venue to clients.
