Working with The Venue was THE MOST FABULOUS experience! The venue, food, and service were excellent. I had to cancel our rehearsal dinner at the last minute at another restaurant due to restrictions and Marta and Amanda were so accommodating. Their facility was beautiful, food was spectacular, and our guests are still talking about it! I would use them again in a heartbeat!

We got to see Marta from the Venue in Asheville a few days ago! She was absolutely wonderful and loved showing us the space! She has been amazing!
We absolutely love touring the venue in Asheville North Carolina. We were just blown away with the layout plan and the flexibility when it comes to customizing your wedding details. They truly go over and beyond. One of my favorite portions of the tour was getting to see their bridal suite. It really blew me away and I could envision myself getting ready for my big day there. I recommend the venue to anyone and everyon we absolutely love touring the venue in Asheville North Carolina.

Would give 10 stars
The Venue was not only an amazing location for our wedding, but the level of service, quality of food and constant communication from everyone on their staff made the reception part of our wedding absolutely perfect. Amanda who was our on-site contact after we booked was very detailed and kind. She made sure that there was not a hair out of place. My husband is a chef and we cared about the food and wine and Chef Michael worked with us to create our dream menu. My only regret was not hiring The Planning as our wedding coordinator. The owner, Marta is a complete professional and is a no-bull kind of lady...which speaks right to me! If you are a perfectionist like I am, you won't be disappointed!

Marguerite!!
you are too funny!!! just love your point of view of my personality.. we had a good laugh. You are a delight to work with, and it was our honor to have you, family and friends at The Venue.
We wish you both the best in years to come.
Many Hugs!
My best friend (who was also a client of mine) had her rehearsal dinner here. Everything was wonderful! Being her MOH and hair/makeup artist I needed to make sure everything went off without a hitch and it did. Everything was perfectly decorated and food was amazing. The staff was very helpful any time we needed anything. The location for this venue is perfect too! You will not be disappointed!
