Most Perfect Venue
We got married at The Riley Building, both the ceremony and reception, and it was the best choice we made for our wedding!
The design of the event space is fantastic, and very stylish. The two-floor layout was perfect for separating the ceremony, dinner, and dancing as the night progressed, allowing for easy transitions for each phase.
Its high-tech A/V equipment, as well as the top floor's retractable ceiling, make it a dream to use that can cater to any event or situation.
But most of all, the best part of The Riley Building was working with their event director, Carly. Her professionalism and communication was first-rate, as was her flexibility, attention to detail, and patience with us and our requests.
I can't recommend them enough. This venue is the ideal place to hold any event!We got married at The Riley Building, both the ceremony and reception, and it was the best choice we made for our wedding!

Exceptional
This venue was incredible to work with. Not only is the space perfect for urban, modern, city wedding vibes, but the event coordinator, Carly, went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was flawless. The Riley Building accommodated for our wedding plan changes due to COVID and made the day absolutely perfect. There aren’t enough good things to say about the space or the service.This venue was incredible to work with.

Mia, Thank you so much for your kind words. We LOVED hosting your extra special day (after all the rearrangements and planning that 2020 threw our way). It was a pleasure to work with you no matter what. So glad you loved the venue. We hope to keep in touch with you---best wishes to you both! -

Unique venue with a fantastic view
The Riley is a beautiful and unique venue right in the heart of downtown Austin. We absolutely loved the location, which was not only super convenient for our 90% out-of-town guest list, but the city skyline was a gorgeous backdrop for our rooftop reception. A crucial selling point for me was the fully retractable glass roof in the case of inclement weather. I am not a fan of tents, and the Riley's rainy day backup plan does not take away from the beauty of the view. The team at the Riley is great. Brandon was super responsive to all communication, and he and Jordyn really bent over backwards to help us when an issue came up the month before the wedding. I also booked the Riley House next door for my bridal suite, and Satchel was so helpful with any questions we had, reachable by text at any time of the day or night. If you're looking for a modern, city vibe for your wedding, this venue is absolutely ideal.The Riley is a beautiful and unique venue right in the heart of downtown Austin.

Beautiful Venue
This venue is stunning and our wedding was beautiful. Planning here was a little tricky due to the downtown area but Carley was super helpful and informative.This venue is stunning and our wedding was beautiful.

Beautiful space, but lacking good management
I loved The Riley Building’s location and everything about the space! We just had a difficult time with the management. Between the time we booked the location and the wedding, there were at least 3 different managers, only one of which showed up for a single site visit. We were also asked the same questions regarding our liquor package from multiple people, which didn’t install much confidence leading up to our wedding. While I thought the wedding was a success, I didn’t find out until afterwards that the AC wasn’t on when guests arrived and it was hotter inside than outside (our wedding was in June). I still loved the space and I think it’s a really cool venue, so I hope they get staffing figured out or at least improve their communication.I loved The Riley Building’s location and everything about the space!
