  • PERFECT downtown/NYE Wedding Venue

    Our New Year’s Eve wedding at The Riley Building was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The industrial-chic ambiance combined with the historic charm of the building provided the most picturesque backdrop for our festivities. Booking with Brandon both the venue and the connecting Airbnb was a stroke of genius, allowing us to seamlessly transition from bridal suite to ceremony to after-party without missing a beat. The convenience of having everything in one location made our day stress-free and unforgettable. While we were impressed with the venue’s professionalism and ease of communication throughout the planning process, there was a slight hiccup regarding the sound system. Despite prior assurances, we found out that the sound wasn’t wired to the first floor as we had hoped. However, this minor setback didn’t overshadow the overall amazing experience we had at The Riley Building. A heartfelt thank you to Brandon, Jordyn, Jacob, and the entire team for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day truly magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to start our journey as a married couple.

    Loved our wedding at The Riley Building. The views and vibes are amazing if you're looking for modern/urban. Easy blank canvas to keep as is and emphasize the views/lighting or dress up if you want something more. The staff were great and made the process relatively easy.

    My husband and I wanted a venue that would help us create the feel of the rooftop parties we had when we first started dating. The Riley building was perfect for our small but lively wedding. The staff was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Highly recommend
