About This Vendor

Beautiful Chapel and newly renovated Ballroom area

You need to see it for yourselves! Located in the scenic hill country on the west side of Austin, the non-denominational wedding chapel at Riverbend was built in 2000, designed in an old-world Tuscan style of the 18th century, using native white limestone mixed with dark stained oak beams. It features contemporary stained glass windows and opens up to a beautiful stone patio, the perfect blank canvas for any wedding. The acoustics in our chapel are one of a kind with state of the art equipment, a Bosendorfer grand piano, and full audio and video capability. The chapel seats 320 comfortably with extra seating in our balcony. Weddings can be booked for a morning, afternoon, or evening ceremony. An experienced professional Riverbend Day of Wedding Coordinator and Sound Technician are included for your event along with a Wedding Director to walk you through all details regarding your ceremony in our chapel. Also included are a bride’s room and groom’s room, equipped with all the amenities and extras a wedding party could need. Brides and grooms can use an officiant of their choice, or if they prefer, one of Riverbend’s Pastors. We can also offer a gorgeous newly renovated Reception Venue designed to hold as little as 50 people or up to 280. With movable walls, you can transform this ballroom into an any size reception for an elegant modern feel. Use our foyer and bar area for a cocktail hour! Treat your guests to the luxury of having your ceremony & reception all at one location on the west side of Austin. This Venue will have your guests in awe with our beautiful chapel for the ceremony and great ballroom space. Come tour our Chapel & Reception Ballroom!!

We had our ceremony at Riverbend Smith Family Chapel and it was fantastic. The space was beautiful, and the gardens were amazing for photos. The only reason for 4 stars - We booked the venue before the previous coordinator, Jill, left. The proc...

ess after she left seemed disorganized. For example, I had to reach out to the church to pay my balance, instead of them sending an invoice on the due date. I know personnel shifts can be chaotic, and everything went perfect on our big day, which was ultimately all that mattered!

Riverbend Smith Family Chapel is absolutely stunning inside and out, and I was so happy to get married there. We had a few hiccups leading to the event, but overall I was happy with the venue and experience. Hiccups: We made an appointment with...

the coordinator but she did not show up at the church to walk though the venue with us. Upon calling, she promptly came and we were able to conduct the walkthrough within 30 minutes. Overall, it seemed like some of the planning in advance was a little scattered, but they have conducted hundreds of weddings, so I was sure they had things under control. Another issue we had was with the sound recording; we were told that we could have an audio recording of the entire ceremony if we provided a flash drive. When we got our flash drive back after the ceremony, it was blank. Thankfully, our videographer was able to record most of the service, or else we would be left with no recording of the beautiful words and vows spoken during the service! To end with the positives, we had a seamless wedding ceremony, plenty of support from our day-of coordinator, and all of the amenities we needed in bridal suite as I prepared to walk down the aisle. The Remembrance Gardens were perfect for my first look with my husband, and both the interior and exterior of the chapel are well kept and beautiful. I would recommend Riverbend Smith Family Chapel to anyone wanting a perfect-sized church space for their ceremony.

This review is actually not for Riverbend as a reception venue, but as a rehearsal dinner venue! (But that's not an official category on The Knot, so here we are) Krista Ross was so so wonderful to work with! Kind, to the point, and made the p...

lanning process so easy for my in-laws who were actually planning the whole thing from New Zealand and Europe. It was inexpensive, flexible, and they were accommodating to our giant families (who we thought would barely fit in the room... but operations somehow made it work!) It made the rehearsal itself a breeze because we just walked up the hill to the Plaza Overlook Room and had food from our caterers ready to go. They even had a tech guy run the music, mic, and slideshow so we didn't have those awkward pauses. If you are getting married and have your rehearsal at Smith Family Chapel, I highly recommend having your rehearsal dinner in this corner room of the church.

wanted! I would HIGHLY recommend also if you have a lot of out-of-town guests who are not used to Austin traffic.

Thanks for all you did to help make our wedding our favorite day!!
