Honestly this space is absolutely breathtaking. It speaks so much for itself that you don’t have to over decorate to make it gorgeous. Our night before and day of manager was super helpful and easy to communicate with to make sure everything ran smoothly. What a dream & a perfect location!

Renee

Owner

With 23+ years of experience in events and catering, in 2012 I decided to take a leap into the venue business. After 8 seasons and 370 events, I have fluffed more dresses and shook more hands than I can remember. Yet, it never gets old when a bride or groom walks down the aisle and all eyes are on them. I'm such a sap and often you'll catch me getting teary. I want their day to be perfect. It is so rewarding to see an event go off without a hitch.

Renee was so responsive and wonderful to work with. If I had to do the wedding again, there would be no chance I would go anywhere else. The venue is beautiful which needs minimum decoration. Her prices are reasonable, and she makes sure to stay communicative with you through the whole process

uests complimented how nice it was. The professionalism of Renee, Samantha and the rest of the team was so much more than we could have asked for. Hands down, we made the right choice and couldn't have asked for a better wedding! It's hard to narrow down everything we enjoyed about our experience... but we have to say we loved having the freedom to customize our own wedding and not be limited to specifics. We were free to choose all our own details and Renee & her team helped us make it happen.

Thank you, Spruce Street, for making our wedding day so special!

Spruce Street Studios is absolutely gorgeous! In my opinion, the number 1 perk for this venue is nearly everything is under one roof! Renee offers tons of rentals from table covers...

, unique signs, altars, a photo booth, and so much more. If you book with Spruce Street, you can also book Blooms on Spruce, which is housed in Spruce Street. I am still amazed with how beautiful my flowers turned out. Renee is so helpful and all of the staff are amazing and friendly. I literally have no complaints. Also, there are so many opportunities for beautiful backdrops at and around the venue!

Spruce St Studios (especially Renee) was such a pleasure to work with when I was planning my wedding and everything turned out better than I could ever imagine!! Spruce St Studios ...

is such a beautiful venue and having the option of rentals and florals in the same spot was so convenient!! They really helped me put together my dream wedding from the decorations to florals to keeping things stress free on the day of. They were honestly so great to work with from beginning to end!!

wedding day was perfect. Absolutely perfect! I knew exactly who to find when I needed a replacement party bus! Renee you handled that situation flawlessly! We are so greatly appreciative of everything you helped us with! Kaylee was also phenomenal! Her talent with the flowers measured beyond anything we could have every imagined! Several guests were convinced our flowers were fake until they touched them because they looked so perfect! That is a talent I greatly admire! June did a fantastic job with the bar and accommodating our guests! She and Kaylee together made our night go so smoothy. We cannot thank you enough for everything! You all do a splendid job at running your business!

h). The chandeliers are absolutely beautiful and go with any event. My new husband and I had a short planning window (proposal November 5th, 2020, wedding May 4th, 2021). We already had a Star Wars theme planned, and Renee had some amazing options to go with it, like the sequined table runners, and all of the colored linen tablecloths we wanted, in our colors of blue, purple, and black. She had everything set up for us on short notice of a change to have our ceremony at Spruce St as well, since rain started and our first venue was outside. Definitely go for the uplighting! The bridal suite and groom's room were great to have as a place for changing and keeping belongings safe. Renee has great ideas if you have any questions on how to create your big day!

My bouquet was breathtaking as was my flower crown. They did a PHENOMENAL job of bringing our vision to life. They’re the best around!!!

simply and smoothly. Renee is absolutely amazing to work with she goes out of her way to make every event special in their own way. This venue also has some super helpful inside connections and perks as well. They provide onsite decor rentals and flowers which makes it so much easier than doing it yourself or getting someone else to do it for you. My fiancé and I are already planning to get married here in December of 2021 and we are already so excited about all the things they offer to make our day stress free so that we can simply enjoy each other.

ght one. Renee was so helpful with the entire planning process. It was so great to be able to rent certain pieces of decor from the venue which saved us the hassle of transporting everything back and forth to Shelbyville. We met and spoke with Renee regularly, which helped ease our minds when we weren't confident that we had everything under control. Neither my husband nor I had ever been to a same-sex wedding before, but Renee and the rest of the staff were so helpful finding different ways to work in the traditional items like the bouquet and garter toss. Overall, the entire event went 100X better than we could have ever wished for. The bartender, Mel, was FAST and super friendly. We got so many compliments about the bar service. The "Event Manager", Kaylee, kept the entire building clean and was so helpful with all of the little things that came up. We were both able to actually enjoy ourselves the entire time. If we had to do it again, we would absolutely work with Renee and the rest of the team. Thank you again Spruce St. Studios!
