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.
