Loft 84 & Thee Olde Wedding Chapel
Two Timeless Wedding Venues in Downtown Riverside
Two Downtown Riverside Wedding Venues We Truly Love
If you’re planning a Riverside wedding, there’s a good chance you’ve come across Loft 84 and its sister venue, Thee Olde Wedding Chapel.
And if you have, you’re already on the right track.
Located in the heart of downtown Riverside, these two venues offer something really special : character, history, and intentional space for meaningful celebrations.
They’re different in style, but beautifully connected. And together, they create an experience that feels both timeless and personal.
Why We Love Loft 84
Historic Charm with Space to Celebrate
Loft 84 isn’t just a venue. It’s a piece of Riverside history.
Built in the 1920s, this historic building carries a richness you can feel the moment you walk in. There’s a depth to the space that newer venues just can’t replicate.
It feels grounded. Established. Meaningful.
And yet, it’s incredibly versatile giving couples the freedom to design a day that reflects their story.
A Space with History – The character of the building adds depth and timeless beauty to every moment
Room to Celebrate – A spacious layout that flows naturally from ceremony to reception
Downtown Location – Surrounded by Riverside’s historic architecture and charming streets
We love photographing here because every wedding feels layered. Not just beautiful, but rooted in something.
Why We Love Thee Olde Wedding Chapel
Intimate, Meaningful, and Full of Heart
If Loft 84 tells a story of history and celebration…
Thee Olde Wedding Chapel brings the focus back to intimacy and connection.
This space is designed for couples who want a small, intentional wedding in Riverside where every moment feels personal and every guest truly matters.
It’s warm, welcoming, and quietly beautiful in a way that never feels overwhelming.
Perfect for Intimate Weddings – Ideal for smaller gatherings and heartfelt ceremonies
Timeless Atmosphere – A classic chapel setting that feels both simple and meaningful
Calm, Focused Experience – A space that allows you to slow down and be present
There’s something really special about watching couples say their vows here—it always feels genuine, never rushed.
The Best of Both Worlds
One of our favorite things about these venues?
You don’t have to choose just one.
Many couples choose to host their ceremony at Thee Olde Wedding Chapel and then transition to Loft 84 for their reception and it works beautifully.
You get :
A quiet, intimate ceremony space
A historic venue to celebrate with family and friends
A seamless flow right in the heart of downtown Riverside
It’s thoughtful, intentional, and incredibly well-balanced.
Why Downtown Riverside is Perfect for Wedding Photos
Beyond the venues themselves, downtown Riverside offers so much variety for wedding portraits.
Historic buildings, local parks, textured streets, and soft evening light. It all adds to the story of your day without needing to travel far.
And that means more time enjoying your wedding. And less time in transit.
