Best Wedding Ever
Awesome Reception Venue
The staff at the Venue were extremely helpful during the planning phase, and very responsive, even when we had last minute changes during the week building up to the wedding. The Venue were very helpful in allowing us to reschedule due to the pandemic. We chose to use the Venue for our reception. At our arrival, the staff were attentive to all our needs. They brought us drinks and appetizers while we waited for our introductions, ensured our glasses were never empty, and made the entire reception seamless.
Having a resident chef, the Venue provided their own meal options, removing the need for a caterer. So many of our guests commented that the meal (Arctic Salmon) was one of the best they had ever had at a wedding. The Venue also allowed us to serve the meal “family style”, which made the reception even more welcoming. The staff of the Venue went above and beyond in providing us a magical evening for our wedding day. I’d recommend the Venue to anyone looking for a place to host their ceremony, reception, or both.

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!
A great place. every need is met and so very beautiful.
The Venue is a beautiful site for a wedding in downtown Asheville. It encompasses all Asheville is, The staff is a joy to work with.
