About

The Inn on the Riverwalk, a waterfront inn and wedding venue in the San Antonio, Texas area, welcomes couples for the picturesque vintage wedding of their dreams. This century-old property exudes an air of hominess and hospitality to couples and their guests. This venue can be found less than five minutes from the Briscoe Western Art Museum in downtown San Antonio.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can invite up to 50 guests to join their wedding celebration at the Inn on the Riverwalk. This inn actually consists of three early 19th-century homes brought together as one venue. The baby blue siding offers a charming and conversational touch to the facades of these structures. This exclusive venue offers wedding ceremonies and receptions right on the scenic San Antonio Riverwalk. Ceremonies can be held on the banks of the river with a stone wall featuring a metal railing as the backdrop. Receptions can take place on the venue’s homey deck space, or within the walls of one of the three homes. These indoor rooms offer French doors, hardwood floors and elegant details such as tray ceilings to make a couple’s event space stand out.

Accommodation

This venue’s three houses, The Main House, The Cottage House and The Innkeeper’s home, consist of 13 guest rooms for couples and their guests to enjoy. Each room is comfortable, antique and slightly eclectic, with colorful quilts on the beds and other pops of color in the decor. The Main House has seven suites and a penthouse, The Cottage House has four suites and The Innkeeper’s home has one private suite.

We had our wedding at the Inn on the Riverwalk 2 Sept 2017. Best decision we made! The staff was wonderful and so accommodating to everything we requested. Margaret and Kathy made us feel so comfortable and at ease on our special day by taking care of our every need; we never had to ask look far without them being over our shoulder and taking care of us... Love those two super ladies! The timeline flowed perfectly and our guests were very happy with the service and felt welcomed in this quaint romantic B&B atmosphere. The owner, Dr. Cavazos was very hospitable and cordial to us and our guests. Definitely recommend having your wedding here or even staying a night or two just to get away (which we plan to do sometime in the near future; or maybe start a tradition with our anniversary?). Loved it! Thank you for making our big day so special!!

I picked this location to celebrate my boyfriend's 50th birthday. Everything was perfect! Everyone I worked with there was wonderful and quick to respond to all my emails and questions. It was the perfect place for the occasion to have a laid back party! The atmosphere is great, food was exceptional, staff is phenomenal, DJ was awesome. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you for helping me to pull off an important birthday for my guy!

The staff and guest rooms at the inn on the Riverwalk in San Antonio is most delightful! After days seeking a venue willing to host my small event, I finally found this gem. The cheerfully exceeded every request I made for a high tea for my small group commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of author Jane Austen. We will most definitely hold events there again. We're all spreading the word about this spectacular venue and B&B in San Antonio.

I can't say enough good things about this place. They made everything so easy and so perfect. The one suggestion I would make is to get the contact info for the officiant before the wedding. We made the mistake of thinking he would talk to us before the ceremony and he kept saying my name wrong, but at least it makes for a good story! Kathleen is beyond amazing. I was super lazy about the details but she made everything beautiful for me. The owner and staff are friendly and wonderful. Rent the penthouse...the view was amazing!

Kathryn (Hopefully that's proper spelling) made the arrangement and ceremony process very easy. Thank you very much for the short notice acceptance.

This was the perfect spot for our ceremony. It has the most beautiful walkway and they provided a nice floral set up. We wanted a nice out door ceremony and this was the perfect place to have it. It's located in a dead end street so there isn't much noise or people walking down the river walk.

This was the best place ever for small wedding parties. Marriage on the Riverwalk, and the reception was just perfect. Best find my husband found, and especially for the price.

My partner and I planned a getaway wedding at the Inn on The Riverwalk in San Antonio . The entire event was planned over the phone from Fort Worth, so I was a little concerned with setting it all up site unseen. The staff and the Inn were just fantastic to work with, they took care of all the details for us. When we arrived we were so pleased with the character of the Inn. The main building we were told, was over 100 years old. It was well kept, clean and quiet. It sits right on the river with a fantastic view of the river and the city skyline. Our wedding was held the next morning outside on the steps to the Riverwalk. The entire staff was there to take care of every thing that need to be done. As a gay couple we were worried about being accepted. the staff treated us with all the same respect any couple would have been given. We were told that we were the first Same sex wedding since the SCOTUS ruling in June and they were very excited to be a part of it. I would especially like to thank Kathleen who I worked with to plan the event and Margaret who also helped with planning and doubled as our wedding photographer, both were there as well as other staff members to make sure everything went off perfectly.

The location and place is beautiful. It is perfect for a small wedding and the accommodations are great. Great for destination wedding. Really romantic and easy access. The staff are really friendly and Tina is an awesome wedding coordinator. She cares about you and wants to make sure that everything works perfectly from the beginning to the end. Working with them just made everything easy and the photos came out great!
