The Rubi House Reviews

I wish there was a 0 star option! The planners are good, but owners are not. We had to cancel our wedding there due to COVID, and hoped to recoup some of the money we had already paid. Owners said that was impossible, and we were out $4,000. No...

negotiation, just screwed out of our money. We will never recommend this venue.

We were really looking for a venue that would be an intimate space where we could still enjoy the fresh air. Luckily, we came across some lovely ladies at the Tucson Bridal Expo, letting us know that there were still plenty of spaces left open ...

during 2019, and that we should come to their Open House. My then-fiance and I went, and immediately fell in love with the property and the layout. It was just the right size that we had in mind for our number of guests, and was a decent price for what we were being given access to. We were able to bring in our own catering (ourselves), as well as able to stay the night at the venue which made things all the more easy for us to say yes! Needless to say, Tana was a wonderful woman to keep in touch with. She responded to us quickly, and kept us at ease the whole way through. Would highly recommend! Best price especially for those that are on a tighter budget than most.
