  Best Wedding Ever

  We had our wedding at The Venue on 9/23/23 and it was perfect! From the beginning everyone we worked with was professional, organized and helpful! They were able to answer all of our questions. The location is absolutely gorgeous and didn't require a lot of extra decor. The food was delicious and the drinks were exactly what we wanted.

  Perfection

  Deandra and staff at the Ridge and the Venue did an outstanding job making this event perfect for us. Food was delicious, outdoor wedding and reception center were beautiful. They took care of everything for us and all we had to do was enjoy our guests in the evening.

  Awesome Reception Venue

  The Venue was one of 4 locations we toured when considering options of where to have our wedding. Located in the center of downtown Asheville, it is conveniently located within walking distance of pretty much everything downtown. Being in a historic building, the owners and staff have kept the rustic appearance with exposed brick and high ceilings.
  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.

  So thankful we chose The Venue

  Wow, I cannot say enough good things about The Venue. Deandra, Paige, and entire staff really made the entire experience so much easier than I was anticipating.
  
  These were some of mine and my now husband’s favorite things about the venue:
  
  -The food: This was on my husbands “ most important” list, and he has a pretty high standards since he was in the culinary industry himself. Months later, we still have guest talking to us about how delicious the food was!!
  
  -The staff: As a self proclaimed perfectionist, I actually relaxed and enjoyed our wedding day. Everything executed perfectly by The Venue.
  
  -The location: Seriously, this could not be more perfect. Right in the heart of downtown Asheville.
  
  There are so many things we enjoyed about our wedding at The Venue. It would be hard to list in one review. We don’t currently live in Asheville (and didn’t at the time of our wedding) but still recommend The Venue all the time!!

  The Perfect Night!

  Our wedding at The Venue was everything we dreamed it would be! The space is so unique and beautiful and was exactly what we wanted for our big day. I can't say enough good things about Paige and Nicole, they were absolutely amazing! We booked the Venue a significant period of time out from our date and there were some staff changes along the way, but Paige was our constant the whole time. She was so responsive, answered a million questions and went over all the details with me. Paige went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and the event was exactly what we wanted! Nicole with The Planning was assigned to us later in the process but once we got going with her she was on top of everything and I really enjoyed working together. She made sure all of the details of the day were right and double checked anything there might be a question about.
  
  The event itself was perfect. We have had some many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was to how absolutely delicious all the food was (our guests are still talking about the food days later). We would definitely recommend The Venue and would love to have another event there in the future!

  Stunning venue and location!

  The Venue gave us a wedding that impressed all of our guests and that gave us a night that we have cherished every day since. Paige, in particular, was spectacular. She handled our long distance planning efficiently, patiently...all of the positive adverbs. When we encountered brief friction with the owner, Paige was calm and poised and friendly while bridging us back into our planning. The crew was perfect, our tables and setup were arranged and shifted without any hiccup. The chef provided us meals that every one of our guests complimented us about. Even though we were that same couple who didn't get to eat everything right away, we did get take-home dishes and they were still phenomenal. The Venue without decor at all would still be wedding-ready, and the cute location on the cobblestone street will give you easy amazing pictures.

  Magical rehearsal made possible the best staff ever!

  We had our rehearsal dinner at the Venue. I could go on about its stylish and fun atmosphere and great food, but what I think is so much more valuable to say is that the staff truly make this spot incredible. Deandra, Nicole (from The Planning), Marta, and the rest of their team are truly the best. They have a great sense of humor, which made the planning process fun and full of laughs. When my wife and I felt overwhelmed with the number of details, Deandra’s calming presence helped us feel at ease as she organized the night into manageable to-dos. The staff welcomed my wife bringing a bunch of her own DIY decorations; they were fully invested in helping us make our own vision come to life. We quickly realized that working with The Venue felt more like planning a spectacular night with hyper-competent friends than any kind of formal process. In writing this review, I really don’t feel like I can do justice to communicate how the unique contributions by the staff at The Venue helped create the best weekend of our lives in a way we would not have had if we had worked with anyone else. They are wonderful.

  If you’re considering this venue…JUST DO IT!

  Jameson and I got engaged last October and we weren’t really sure where we wanted to get married. We played with the mountain idea and talked about Tennessee and it didn’t feel right. Asheville has been apart of our story. While we dated long distance we visited Asheville twice and both times were beyond extraordinary and we knew that was the city we would celebrate the union of us. We were really hoping for October, because duh and in December we decided to set up some venue visits. We had our first visit at The Venue with three other locations scheduled. We walked in and instantly we both were like, “is this real life? It’s BEAUTIFUL.” We met with the owner, Marta who showed us the space but most importantly we loved how passionate she was about creating magical moments for her clients. We were already sold on the location, but Marta is the real reason we fell so in love with it. We ventured into our next appointment with a date of October 9th open and we weren’t nearly as impressed but we felt we had to do our due diligence. Marta called us and let us know she had another showing after us and they were interested in the same date, realistically it comes down to who is faster to pull the trigger. We never stumbled through credit cards so quickly. From our initial meet to the day of the wedding everything was so incredibly organized, thorough and the experience could not have been better if they tried. The food was AMAZING, the staff was incredible, friendly and I loved how much they loved their job, that is such a huge reflection of the organization as a whole. We worked closely with Nicole and Deandra and those two beautiful women are ROCKSTARS, you guys! I am thoroughly so incredibly happy and impressed with how smoothly this has been and how perfect the evening was. If you’re looking for a spot in Asheville, there really is no other place than The Venue!

  Rehearsal Dinner At The Venue

  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!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for the right place for a perfect event

  The MOST Magical and Memorable Wedding

  Our wedding was the most amazing day of our lives and that was fully due to the expertise of The Ridge, The Venue, and The Planning's (RVP's) amazing team. We are SO thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Marta, Darian, Kay, Deandra, Amanda and Nicole throughout our planning process and extending into the actual event. I can’t speak highly enough about RVP – their professionalism was impeccable and kept me, as the bride, calm, confident, and organized while also being very efficient.
  
  We made a full wedding weekend out of our event in August 2021. Starting on Friday we had a Chinese Tea Ceremony out on “The Knoll” which is THE most beautiful site. Following that we hosted our Welcome Party at “The Chateau” (which is also part of The Ridge). Our guests were blown away with the event orchestration and the simple elegance and undeniable beauty of The Ridge.
  
  The following day we held our wedding and reception at The Venue. While getting ready my bridesmaids and I utilized “The Loft” – which was particularly charming with warm sunlight pouring in the windows.
  Throughout our weekend, our bridal party was chartered around by the RVP Sprinter van. This wound up being perfect and ensured everyone was where they needed to be at the right time. For our actual wedding we utilized the entire space available at "The Venue". We started out by having our ceremony on the Second Floor, guests were then led downstairs for a cocktail hour on the first floor "Market and Mezzanine level" and then finally into the the reception in the back. I loved the way this was done as each room was a bit different and served as a little surprise for everyone! Our reception was catered by The Venue and our guests were blown away with the quality of food and service... Chef prepared a delicious meal with very satisfactory serving sizes (I was extra critical of this as I've been left hungry and unimpressed with the meals at other weddings I've attended!). As a whole, everything was orchestrated with precision and I was beyond thrilled with my wedding both during the weekend and in retrospect!
  
  As for the individuals involved: Nicole was the most amazing planner throughout the process – she tolerated my questions and any last minute changes like a champ! She was always warm, welcoming, and helped to make it the best day ever! Darian, Kay, Deandra, and Amanda were equally wonderful and were able to put together the wedding of my dreams while accommodating and helping me put together exactly what I was envisioning.
  
  I recommend The Ridge, The Venue and The Planning with every ounce of my being! They were wonderful - my husband and I are so fortunate to have been able to experience our dream wedding weekend!

  Wonderful evening!

  The Venue made sure our daughter's wedding reception was beautiful with delicious food and drink. The staff was extremely attentive and "can do" when requests were made. The space lends itself to a lovely antique French country feel especially in the evening. We enjoyed working with Deandra and staff to make the reception exactly what our daughter and son-in-law wanted. Hats off to The Venue and its caring staff.

  Perfect reception space for our wedding

  I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue and everyone who works there! I am a recent bride who had my wedding reception at The Venue, and everything about our day was perfect. The space is beautiful, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the people who help you throughout the planning process are so responsive every step of the way. Additionally, the food is delicious, which is not always a given at weddings. I cannot recommend enough renting The Venue for your next event!

  Perfect in Every Way

  I will try not to use the word perfect over and over in this review, but it was! Amanda answered every email & call promptly. She was patience, understanding, & her guidance helped make each decision an easy one. Everyone commented on the delicious food and the professional staff. One comment, “The best food I have ever had at a rehearsal dinner.” The perfect location for a welcome party - the decor, the balcony with a bar, and the food & staff. We were extremely happy with the evening.Read Less

  Best in the business!!

  We had a Welcome Party for my daughter's wedding at The Venue in July. Deandra was fantastic to work with. She walked us through it and everything came together so beautifully. The setting is gorgeous with the exposed brick, beams, candles, and lights. We also received so many compliments on the food. I cannot thank the staff enough for making such a memorable evening for our guests. I would highly, highly recommend The Venue for any wedding event.

  Our Wedding Experience

  We had a great time coordinating everything and everyone was more than willing to accommodate us in preparation for the big day. There was some difficulty getting a hold of anyone after after the wedding day but that’s all.

  My day was perfect!

  The Venue was amazing from start to finish! It is such a gorgeous location, and the staff really did all they could to make my special day perfect. I planned my wedding in three and a half months and didn’t decide on the Venue until 5 weeks out because of Covid issues. They made sure to cover all the bases (and some that I never would have thought about) in that short amount of time. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and a better venue. Thank you!

  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!

  Outstanding job!

  Amanda, Marta and the entire Venue team absolutely blew our wedding out of the water!! Long story short, we had to postpone our original wedding plan back in March 2020, originally scheduled for May, then completely change everything for our new wedding date in October 2020 because of the pandemic. Roughly two months before the new date in October, we found out we could no longer have our ceremony at the church we had planned for, since COVID was still very much a thing, and because of that, we decided to shift having both our wedding ceremony and reception in downtown Asheville to having both events in the Lake Junaluska area (about 30 minutes away). We scaled down our guest list, chose a new ceremony location (The Chapel at Lake Junaluska) and also moved our reception to an outdoor / backyard event. We asked The Venue if they would still cater, organize and run our event, and they stepped up to the challenge and delivered something beyond our expectations! (Side note, Chef Mike is a genius and people cannot stop talking about the food at our wedding!) But in all seriousness, 2020 brought about a lot of struggles and planning a wedding during a pandemic (and then a hurricane that decided to make a last minute appearance) was LESS than ideal, but it is because of vendors like The Venue who came together and helped us come up with a new plan and adjust to last minute changes that made our weekend so incredibly special! We so appreciate Amanda, Marta and the entire Venue staff for helping to plan and execute a perfect day! 10/10 recommend :)

  The Venue's reply:

  Julie,
  
  Wow!! Words cannot express how incredibly grateful we are for your beyond amazing review. It was quite the ringer you were put through, but in the end, everything came together beautifully! Your vision for switching to an outdoor tented reception and your willingness to still use The Venue for catering services was so appreciated. We are so happy for you and Charlie and grateful for the opportunity to have seen your special day through to the end!
  
  Sending all our thanks,
  Mart, Amanda, and The Venue Team

  The best wedding venue!!!

  The Venue made all of our wedding dreams come true! My husband and I primarily worked with Deandra and Nicole and Cloie from The Planning, but any staff member that we came in contact with was professional and answered our questions and concerns promptly. We started our wedding planning process early into our engagement and Deandra was so helpful through it all. We had to make A LOT of changes over the past 1.5 years of our wedding planning process, especially in the past few months because of COVID. The Venue handled all of our requests and changes professionally and made us feel at ease when we were stressing. They went above and beyond to make our day beautiful, special and safe with restrictions in place due to COVID. The day of staff was amazing and made sure everything was seamless. Nicole from The Planning was focused on every detail and set up the decorations beautifully. Our day was better than we ever imagined. The best part was knowing we could relax and enjoy our day and The Venue had it all covered!

  Amazing weekend

  We got married at The Venue in Jan 2020 and it was absolutely a dream come true. I loved working with Amanda and the staff. They are open and so willing to help cater the day to your needs, budget, and desires. Multiple people told me after the wedding that they had not been to a wedding that ran so smoothly before. I give all the credit to the staff and organization of The Venue!
