Renee was amazing, the venue was amazing. I don’t even have enough words to express the most perfect day that I could have had. My wedding was everything I could possibly imagine. 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
Spruce Street Studios is an amazing venue! It was absolutely the perfect place to get married. Renee and all her staff very incredibly kind and helpful. Our wedding was a 2 bride wedding and finding a place that is welcoming for that can be difficult. Renee accepted us and treated us the same as any other couple making our day stress free and beautiful. I would recommend this venue for ALL couples!
Everything was great every step of the way! We knew we were going choose this venue as soon as our tour and meeting with Renee was finished. The venue is beautiful and all of our guests 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.
Any questions?
Spruce Dt studios was absolutely amazing! Renee was there to answer any and all questions throughout the planning process, gave her professional opinion, and helped us create a beautiful wedding day! The venue managers, Brittany and Kayli, were also phenomenal. The day ran so smoothly because of their hard work! If I had to do it all over again, I would a million times over pick Spruce Street Studios again and again! I have no complaints and only good things to say about this place. Thank you, Spruce Street, for making our wedding day so special!
My husband & I had the best experience working with the entire staff at Spruce St. All of our wedding visions came to life at this venue! 10/10 would recommend for someone who is wanting to have both ceremony & reception at the same location, if you are looking for a venue that has high ceilings & resembles a barn on the inside, and whomever wants to work with the best and most catering staff!
We had our wedding at Spruce St. and it was fantastic. The perfect size, atmosphere, and versatility. We were able to make it exactly what we wanted. We did have a couple issues with handicap accessibility for some guests so keep in mind guest needs when booking also. Great venue, though!
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!!
We have a wonderful wedding this past weekend at Spruce St Studios! The staff was amazing, and we received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue is.
We knew we loved your venue the moment we visited. We didn’t know how amazing your staff would help make our day! From set up to tear down and everything in between our daughter’s 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!
Great wedding venue! I would highly recommend this place.
Amazing event! We had to touch the florals to prove that they were real. They were magazine worthy! And, after complimenting them, she handed me a beautiful arrangement to take home. Just all the way around an amazing experience for our niece’s wedding.
Renee is amazing to work with! After starting Spruce Street Studios, she sure has done an amazing job converting the old church (I have been to 2 weddings there when it was a church). 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!
The venue was absolutely perfect! We were looking for a place between my husband’s family and mine and found this gem! The greatest part was that Renee had such great feedback and vision for the rentals and decor/flowers. It made my job of getting married and focusing on that SO MUCH easier! I would love to do it all over again!
Spruce St Studios is the most beautiful venue for a wedding. Even the dressing room and bathrooms are pretty! The staff is very professional and helpful. I LOVE this place!
This venue is absolutely beautiful. It was nice to have the wedding and reception at the same place. There were separate areas for the bride/bridesmaids and groom/groomsmen to get ready and hang out in. The owner was wonderful to work with and ensured that my daughter’s wedding was perfect. I highly recommend this venue.
Great customer service! They did everything they could to make my day the most magical day ever. Kaylee is a life saver with florals! She does beautiful work and will make sure everything is right for you. So glad we used Spruce Street Studios.
We had the best time at this venue. Renee did an amazing job getting everything together. Everything was absolutely perfect!
Very helpful staff and beautiful wedding and venue
This venue is beyond beautiful! You barely have to decorate! From the tall ceilings,to the stain glass windows , my wedding day was everything I hoped for! Not to mention the staff was very helpful through the entire wedding planning process even when COVID hit they worked hard to make my dreams come true💕
Spruce Street Studios was a beautiful venue ran by caring people who truly care about making your special day perfect. They ask the right questions and made wedding planning a BREEZE. This venue was especially important to my husband and I because we met here, and Renee, namely, made sure the essence of our romance was captured. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Great to work with Spruce Street staff for our holiday party! Everything was setup and decorated beautifully. Photo booth was a hit! So much fun!
I highly recommend Spruce Street Studio!! The staff was professional, organized, and extremely helpful!! The venue is beautiful and our reception was perfect thanks to Spruce Street Studio!!
I would not have changed a single thing about our wedding at Spruce Street. Our day was absolutely PERFECT. Everyone from the venue was extremely kind and felt like some our closest friends. They made everything so easy and smooth.
The convenience of having both the ceremony and reception in the same venue was so wonderful. We didn’t have to run around decorating the day before. We simply brought it all to one sport!
Make sure to take advantage of Blooms on Spruce for your flowers! 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!!!
I am thrilled we chose Spruce St for our special day. The venue is beautiful. We received so many compliments on the venue. There are plenty of linen to chose from as well! Each wedding at the venue looks completely different, it’s amazing! Renee is very responsive to texts and emails and is open to trying new things! It was a great value for the money spent, and I wouldn’t change a thing!
Spruce Street Studios is a gorgeous, efficient, and very organized venue. I have hosted multiple fundraising events here and with the help of the Spruce St Studios every event ran 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.
The venue is absolutely stunning! We used it for a corporate event, and everything was seamless! It was absolutely perfect for our attendees! Thank you!!!
Great venue with all the extra services and care you would need for a great wedding. They offer in house florals and rental items along with a great list of vendors to make planning a breeze! Employees make your feel like your wedding is the only one they are hosting the entire year and the owner is a delight to work with.
Spruce St. Studios was the perfect venue for our Ceremony and Reception!! We looked at several different venues, but after meeting with Renee, we both knew that we had found the right 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!
Before we chose Spruce St we looked at several different venues. Even though they had nice things to offer, there was no competition. Renee was amazing to work with! She kept up with us often, gave us ideas, and helped me tremendously come wedding day!
This stunning venue was so effortlessly transformed into my dream night of minimalistic elegance. Renee and her staff are amazing people to work with & remove so much of the stress from you.
Renee was phenomenal to work with. Flowers by Kaylee were amazing. The decor, the ambience, the whole feel of the place was magical for our daughter's wedding. For our family being from San Diego and having to travel for the wedding, Spruce Street was a fabulous choice. Shelbyville is a quaint town that screamed fall wedding! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED everything about Spruce Street Studios!!
Thank you SO much ladies!

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.
