Wedding venue in Riga
BEHINDthedoors is a spacious studio on Brīvības gatve in Riga, where we have been organizing weddings and other celebrations for two years. The hall has high ceilings, columns and large windows that let in natural light during the day, creating a sense of space and lightness.
The studio interior is bright, tasteful and well thought out, complementing the atmosphere of the modern city very well. Subtle elegance blends with an industrial character, creating a versatile space for both private celebrations and larger events.
After listening to your ideas, we will develop a wedding concept and an overall vision. By combining your wishes with our experience and perspective, we will create a personalized plan that suits you and your celebration.
We have more than ten years of experience in event organizing and coordination. We will take care of the most important details and everything that happens during the day, so that you can fully enjoy your celebration.

- wedding planning and coordination;
- catering and bar service;
- performers and entertainment;
- technical equipment and support;
- a photographer and videographer;
- wedding concept development;
- hall decoration and floral design;
- other services you need for your wedding day.

The hall and wedding formats
The hall works equally well for a small family wedding and a large wedding.
You can host just the wedding ceremony with cake and champagne here. Or dinner and a party until morning. Our space is located in an industrial courtyard area, which allows the celebration to continue until dawn. There is also a small terrace area where, in good weather, guests can enjoy the urban and industrial surroundings in a private atmosphere.
Catering and bar
Years of experience in the event industry allow us to find the right caterer and bar service for you, in different formats and for different budgets. Catering usually also includes event staff, namely servers, chefs and bartenders.
We offer wedding catering and bar service from proven, trusted partners, but you can also choose your own. For each celebration format, we recommend the most suitable type of bar service, because table service and an evening party need different setups.
Caterers have a separate service room next to the main hall, where they prepare the food out of the guests’ sight before serving it.
Decor and equipment
Your wedding decor is created by the BEHINDthedoors design team and adapted to your plans, wishes and the mood of your celebration. Using your ideas and inspiration images, we will develop a unified visual concept and complement it with our experience, knowledge and recommendations.
We will also take care of the items and equipment you need, including setup and teardown. You won’t need to find and coordinate several vendors — we will handle the practical side so that on your wedding day you can focus on what matters most.
Some of the studio furniture is included in the rental. We send you a form where you can select the additional equipment you need for your wedding, for example:
- sound and lighting equipment
- a stage for performances or a band
- a projector with a screen
- additional items
The form also lists the rest of the available equipment and additional services. View the form
Wedding photoshoot
Photoshoots and filming regularly take place in the BEHINDthedoors hall, so the space also works well for wedding photos. Large windows, a spacious room and a well-thought-out interior let you find a suitable shot in different parts of the hall and use the atmosphere of the space as part of the photoshoot.
One of the advantages — you can drive a car into the studio. This means your wedding car can be part of the photoshoot even in rainy or unpredictable weather. We coordinate the car model and drive-in time with you in advance.
You can also rent the studio just for a wedding photoshoot if the ceremony and celebration take place elsewhere. This can also be a good option in unpredictable weather, when the planned outdoor photo locations for your wedding are not available.
If you don’t have a photographer yet, we can, on request, help you find and book one for your wedding day.
Wedding planning and coordination
We offer not only the venue rental but also the planning and coordination of the wedding itself. This means we can work with you from the very first idea — helping you create the wedding concept and mood, plan the day, find the right vendors and take care of all the key details.
We take care of communication with vendors, the wedding day plan, catering, decorations, flowers, music, the photographer and everyone else involved, so that everything forms a unified, well-thought-out whole.
On the wedding day itself, our coordinator takes care of the practical side of the event — following the schedule, greeting and coordinating vendors, watching over the most important moments of the day and quickly solving any issues that come up along the way.

Booking the venue
Tell us your wedding date, number of guests and the planned schedule for the day. We will confirm whether the hall is available on that day. Then we will invite you to see it in person so we can discuss your plans and wishes on site.
After your visit, we will send you an event information form where you can list your catering, equipment and decor needs. We will then use it to prepare a quote with rental hours, setup and teardown hours and additional services.
Wedding dates are booked early. For the summer season, the hall is usually booked a year in advance. Booking that early means you can be sure the venue will be available on the date you want.
Location
Our studio is located at Brīvības gatve 401C, in an industrial setting. There are more than 50 parking spaces on site next to the building, so your guests won’t have to look for parking on nearby streets.
