The Riverenza gathering hall is the perfect venue for intimate dinner parties, business meetings, casual gatherings, and receptions, as well as formal wedding ceremonies. The Riverenza is a century old stone church building located on the corner of 10th and Federal in The Dalles, once home to the Church of Christ. In the fall of 2004 while looking for a home to buy Greg and Molly Ott came across the old church building and began making plans to turn it into a large home. Once the renovation plans were in place Molly had a dream that the family lived in the basement and hosted weddings, parties and events in the old church sanctuary. That's when the dream began. "Riverenza" is and Italian word which means to show honor with a bow or curtsy. That's exactly what the gathering hall has been doing ever since September of 2007 when The Riverenza hosted the first of many weddings. Comfortably furnished with versatile indoor seating for up to 120 guests and outdoor seating for 50. The Riverenza is a wheelchair accessible, full service event venue, complete with an old world stone courtyard, ballroom, fellowship hall, dressing room and kitchen. The Riverenza offers complete event packages, providing tables, chairs, table linens and dinnerware, equipped with wireless Internet, audio/visual and PA equipment, set up and cleanup are always included. The Riverenza is the perfect venue for your next gathering.
The Riverenza where you are always the guest of honor!
