The Ruth by Beau Monde

The Ruth is the Beau Monde venue on Thrift Road in Wesley Heights. The venue is a bright room with a lot of natural light, wood paneling, an outdoor garden and a layout that leaves real room to move and dance. Beau Monde runs both the catering and the bar, and both come up repeatedly in reviews. Guests compliment the food, and the bar team keeps the line short, which is something couples underestimate until it goes wrong at their own wedding. The venue suits people who want a modern room without an industrial feel.
