“The Riley Building was the perfect backdrop to host a marriage proposal for my clients. I would highly recommend for future proposals, weddings, and corporate events. Brandon and his team were highly accommodating throughout the process.”
—Leslie Garcia
“It was by happenstance that my cousin found this place for my little sister's celebration of life in January. After talking to Brandon and visiting the venue, it was a no brainer. The staff's willingness to accommodate seemed more like they were honored to have us, completely different than other venues in Austin, where we should have felt honored to have the opportunity to be there. The first floor was an art gallery for her work, and the third floor rooftop was the perfect setting for celebrating her downtown lifestyle. This place made what would have otherwise been a sad evening, into a real celebration of life. We will forever have the upmost gratitude for this building and the team running it.!”

“I hosted my first event in Austin at The Riley November of 2022 for AfroTech conference week. This venue was perfect! Brandon Cohen was very helpful and communicative about details and timeline. The venue was perfect for what we needed. We had about 400+ people, using the rooftop and second floor. The rooftop views are amazing. Overall it was a great experience at the Riley and we look forward to working with them again in the future!”

“I recently used the rooftop for a photo shoot and it was amazing. What a prime location in downtown. I really enjoyed the short elevator ride for easily carrying my equipment and talent. Everything was very clean and the open air layout was very nice.”
