Where Elegance Meets Experience

Born from a passion for culinary artistry and a legacy in entertainment, Ruby Event Space is the Bay Area’s premier destination for unforgettable celebrations. Conveniently located at the San Francisco Premium Outlets, with immediate access to I-580 and just minutes from Dublin and Pleasanton, Ruby blends accessibility with elevated design.

Founded by Abdullah Akbaryar and Samir Zemaryalai, two longtime friends rooted in hospitality and driven by a shared purpose, Ruby was built on the belief that the most memorable gatherings are those that bring people together with intention, beauty, and heart. 

Abdullah, a veteran restaurateur and entertainment promoter, has been curating experiences since 1997, from world-class concerts to acclaimed dining ventures. Samir brings his entrepreneurial spirit and love for hosting meaningful moments that leave a lasting impact.

Together, they created a space where elegance meets soul:

Ruby offers a fresh, modern experience with a unique indoor-outdoor layout, natural light, and open-air charm, stepping away from the windowless halls of the past and into something timeless. The result is a venue that feels bright, airy, and alive, while still warm and welcoming.


Whether you’re planning a wedding, engagement, birthday celebration, or corporate gathering, Ruby Event Space is here to turn your vision into reality. With thoughtful design, a prime location, and a commitment to excellence, we are proud to offer a space unlike any other in the Bay Area.


At our core, we are guided by gratitude and a higher purpose, believing that true success is found in sincere service, heartfelt hospitality, and creating joyful experiences that honor life’s blessings.
