We invite you to explore and consider The Ruby Cora for your wedding day.
The Ruby Cora is not a Barn, she is a newly designed, clean lined, industrial, studio space, flooded in natural light. The Ruby Cora sits in the midst of a manicured Century Farm located 40 minutes from Nashville, 5 minutes from Clarksville. Our guests tell us that a feeling of total tranquility occurs when the pull into our property. We are kindly referred to as 'A Modern Space in a Quiet Place'. The elevation of our property gives wedding couples and their guests the most stunning sunsets. We invite you to take the 360 tour that has been provided.
Facilities and Capacity
Our architect was determined to craft a space that 60 people would not feel lost in, but could accomodate 299 guests. You are welcome to invite up to 299 friends and family to join your celebration. For weddings during cold/rainy weather, the climate controlled venue provides a comfortable setting in which to exchange vows. Our modern space with full view doors 'brings the outdoor beauty into the Grand Hall'. To add a romantic touch to your wedding, you can request to have the Lula Belle Tower's wedding bell rung after you say your vows. If you prefer an outdoor ceremony, we have several outside ceremony sites; overlooking acres and acres of croplands, a wooded area and a waterfront area. Receptions can then be continued inside in the climate controlled Ruby Cora with the ability to open it up to the lanai and patio overlooking sunsets over the pLake.
We have 2 old barns, a Century old home with the original 'outdoor kitchen' for more rustic photo sessions. Our farm produces corn, soybeans, winter wheat and estatic bridal couples!

The Ruby Cora is one of the most beautiful venues. My husband and I had our wedding reception here, and everyone loved it. The space is so versatile, and the views are fantastic at sunset. The best part, the owner is a gem. The service that we received from start to finish was TOP NOTCH. I highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 13-07-2023
Mary Fair(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 WOW! I can not say enough about this venue and the owner! I first met Marcia at the Ruby Cora for our consultation, and she was lovely, professional, spunky, and joyful. After meeting her and seeing the venue, my husband and I chose the Ruby Cora package and added fireworks. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with lots of natural light. The Bride and Groom suites are decorated with a huge mirror, chairs, a couch, and appropriate decor. Perfect for pre-wedding photos! Added bonus- each suite has a private door to the corresponding bathroom. The suites have doors that open to opposite sides of the building, allowing the bride and groom to step outside without seeing each other. Marcia gave great recommendations for a coordinator and florist. Catering is covered under this package, so we decided to contract with BarTaco. Marcia and our coordinator took care of everything! The fireworks were stunning over the water and reasonably priced!From the day I met Marcia, she made herself available to me for questions, addressed all our concerns, and let us visit the venue on several occasions. She is the most hospitable person I've ever met. She was kind and helpful to all our guests and vendors. Marcia was with us from sun up to sundown on our BIG day. She made every attempt to make our wedding special. It was perfect! I couldn't have asked for more! Reviewed on 02-06-2022
McKenzie Dixon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2020 WOW! The Ruby Cora had everything and more than we could have possibly imagined. Marcia and her husband were the most kindhearted, caring, and considerate individuals throughout the entire process of wedding planning. They were so accommodating and flexible to meet with us during small windows of time when we would be in town visiting. Since we were planning from three different states, it meant so much to us to have Marcia on our team to help make it all work. Marcia played a major role in helping our winter wedding be as stress-free as possible and her expertise was exceptional. From the very beginning, she was always on top of answering any questions we had and constantly reminded us not to worry because we were in good hands-- and this was the absolute truth. We are so thankful for all that Marcia did for us and for the opportunity to have our Winter Wedding dreams come true at The Ruby Cora. Reviewed on 24-02-2021
Debbie Valleskey(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2020 The Ruby Cora at Gunn Farm was an excellent venue choice for our daughter’s dream wedding and Marcia & Nathan, the venue owners, were 10+ star hosts. The historic Gunn Farm provides a beautiful setting with green rolling hills, scenic lake, fresh countryside air, and unique flexibility for indoor and outdoor experiences. The Ruby Cora proudly blends into this stunning setting with respect and grandeur. The facility was impeccably clean, spacious, well-designed to adapt to many layout preferences, of great quality, and in tip-top working order. Tall ceilings, several large glass side doors that can be opened or closed easily, a large covered lanai that we ended up using for the ceremony, and a comfy outdoor fireplace, were some of the highlights. One of our favorite features are the creatively decorated separate bride and groom suites that made this venue stand out from many others. You have got to see this place!Marcia was incredible to work with and can’t thank her enough for all her contributions to the planning, coordination, and special touches. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she also genuinely cares. Her degree of professionalism, knowledge, experience, and insight is rare. In addition, her and Nathan, have big servant hearts and we were so blessed to have them as our hosts.All in all, this was our daughter’s wedding and if we were to do it again, we would do it exactly the same with the Ruby Cora as our venue and the Clarks as our hosts. We are honored to give the Ruby Cora the highest possible recommendation.Wedding video done by Lynn Productions: https://vimeo.com/458056643 Reviewed on 15-11-2020
Carlos St John(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2019 Man, what can we not say about this place? The venue is gorgeous and the people who own it are wonderful to work with. We had several, several people say that our wedding was the best one they had attended, and honestly, it was mainly the venue. We did minimal decorations. You can have an outside wedding up on this little hill with a tree and beautiful arch. And then there's a modern looking building that gives you a sense of being elsewhere, even though its like 50 feet away. Its all clean and pretty and very cool. You can always contact the owners with questions as they come up and they are very very nice! My wife and I were so glad to have found this spot for our wedding. If you're looking for venues, at least check it out for yourself and see how great it is as well! Reviewed on 14-10-2019
Tessa Hall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 Is it possible to give more than 5 stars? The Ruby Cora is absolutely stunning. The owner is an absolute gem to work with. She is so accommodating and friendly! Every detail of this venue was carefully thought out in an effort to create the perfect wedding venue, and I truly believe they hit the nail on the head. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and the venue was worth every single penny! Reviewed on 01-05-2019
I am the fifth generation owner of Gorgeous Gunn Farm, I hesitate to use the word farm because we are NOT a barn venue. We chose a modern, industrial, studio design with tons of builtin flexibility. It happens to be nestled in a manicured row crop farm property. There are two things that I am most passionate about; Hospitality and Beauty! My happiest moments are when I am participating in a stunning wedding for a couple who chooses us to take great care of them and their guests. About beauty, EVERY bride is so beautiful!~marcia
