One wedding at a time 15 min west of Asheville Est. 1920
Leicester, North Carolina

The building has been standing since 1920. It was waiting for this.

Rivendale is a restored 1920s church fifteen minutes west of Asheville. The walls are thirteen inches thick. The bell tower has stood through a century of mountain weather. The original pews are still in the nave.

Steve and Sherry Metcalf purchased the building because they saw what it could become — a ceremony and reception space that does the work before a single flower is arranged. Stone, iron, and wood. Light through tall chapel windows. Character that can't be built from scratch.

Couples who choose Asheville want something real. Rivendale is exactly that.

Four spaces. One wedding. The whole day is yours.

01
The Chapel The original 1920s sanctuary. Pews, tall windows with stained glass original to 1920, and the long nave that makes the walk down the aisle feel like it means something.
02
The Reception Hall Wood, iron, and stone throughout. Farm tables and rounds available. The same character as the chapel — just with dinner and dancing.
03
The Bridal Suite An intimate getting-ready space for the bride and a close few. Private from the ceremony spaces and available from the start of your rental.
04
The Patio Open air cocktail hour off the reception hall. Mountain air, string lights, and no pressure to hurry inside.
