Venues & Event Spaces in Asheville, NC

“If you ever get the chance to be snowed in at Wrong Way, I would highly recommend it! The cabins are cute, full of natural light, and very clean and the staff is kind and responsive. The location can't be beat for access to West AVL and waking up to look out at the river is just so lovely”

“Top tier. Hats off and hands in the air for these wonderful people. Food, service, and ambience are all superb, and with an exceptional value for the price. We had the unique privilege of working with Cassidy Helmer for nearly three years to plan our rehearsal dinner and welcome party; our event was originally planned for 10.11.24 and needed to be rescheduled to Halloween 2025 due to the impacts of Hurricane Helene. Throughout the entire process—before we booked, between the initial booking and the storm, rescheduling, then staying in touch to finalize details when the event could finally take place, Cassidy deftly helped us manage all the details so our night could be the huge success that it was.

As two folks who spent many years waiting tables, bartending, cooking, managing restaurants, as well as facilitating events, we know the complexities that go into customizing and executing the details for clientele to make everything just right. Cassidy and team knocked this one out of the park, and our event was just as incredible as the wedding itself.

Through the many taxing emails we sent her and our planning meeting, Cassidy heard our wants and needs, and provided feedback or held the venue’s boundaries where appropriate, and with effortless grace. Since my husband doesn’t drink and we had multiple sober guests, she helped us design a signature mocktail and add options to our package so we could offer more options to those folks than tea and lemonade in addition to the alcohol-based options for other guests. She provided a great referral for a day-of liaison to help us manage the flow of the evening. Above all, she was so incredibly patient with us.

We had 50+ guests for dinner, then another 60+ who joined for drinks and snacks after our meal ended. The food was to-die-for—simple but elegant, very fresh and flavorful. Well-presented. Overly generous portions. We were even able to customize our dessert by adding homemade whipped cream. The cheese, fruit, and petit fours served during the later portion of the evening were also generous and served beautifully.

We were astounded at how simultaneously pleasant and efficient the bartenders and wait staff were to us and all of our guests. These folks hustled without seeming rushed. They were polite and just the right amount of gregarious. Empty plates, glasses, and scrunched up napkins were cleared without making us feel like we were in a hurry. You can have the greatest food in the world and lovely ambience, but without good service, the magic is lost—and these people are wizards.

The environment is timeless (and kept very clean). Exposed brick, wood floors and beams, café string lights. You could dress the venue up or down to fit your vibe. And because they’re a full-service event venue, we needed very few rentals. They also offer different decoration packages with tealight candles included for an extremely reasonable cost, which saved us from having to make yet another Amazon order. Amen!

As you can tell by now—if you’re one of the special humans who’s read this far—we simply can’t say enough great things about Cassidy and Century Room, and we know our guests feel the same way, because they told us so.

Thank you all so much for an outstanding, memorable evening, and for putting up with our crazy shenanigans for three years.
The five star rating just doesn’t cut it—you ARE the stars, and when the curtain went up, you shined with brilliance and radiance. Bravo.”

“The space is stunning, the artwork is amazing, and the people who own it are friendly and approachable. This gallery sells fine art. The art is beautiful and interesting. While I haven’t bought anything yet, I’ve always felt welcomed. It genuinely feels like a museum in the fact that it’s not crowded with a bunch of art for sale. Each piece is given its space. The owners are very knowledgeable about the art. They’re happy to talk about the art. It just feels wonderful in there, and is an asset to our city. If you are just visiting Asheville, you should stop by this gallery. If you live in Asheville and like fine art, by all means, you should go downtown and check it out.”

“Robin and her team was such a huge help as our coordinator for our wedding reception, I can't imagine having done it without her.

We were trying to keep costs down as far as things like decor and she decorated the space with basically zero direction from us with what the venue had on hand, and it was beautiful! We provided some flowers that were grown by a friend, and she arranged them into lovely table centerpieces.. she laid out our snack spread for our welcome gathering in the Bier Garden.. set up a photo booth for guests.. we really didn't have to worry about anything. All of our guests had a great time and enjoyed both the Bier Garden and the Event Space, which had room for a 5 piece band. It was all very laid back which was exactly what we wanted. We also ended up having to reschedule after hurricane Helene, and it was easily done with great communication and no headaches.

I would recommend getting married, having a reception, or just a big party here to anyone. Thanks again!”

“We used Ella Asheville for our rehearsal dinner in November 2025. We were initially scheduled for October of 2024 but it was delayed due to Hurricane Helene. The Ella team was able to reschedule everything for our new date. Nicole was such a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this venue!”

“Working with EastWest for our reception was an absolute treat. Excellent communication, high-quality vintage rentals, and such a reliable crew. Our guests absolutely loved the seating area we created. I wish I had a reason to host another beautiful event so that I could work with them again!”

“Veronica and the team at The Collider are top notch. They provide a high quality experience with impressive technology integration for meetings and events. The location is in the heart of downtown Asheville. It’s nearby everything that this mountain town has to offer.”

“As an elopement and intimate wedding photographer and planner with Golden Hour Elopements, this is one of my favorite venues. It has an elevated vibe that pairs so well with the beauty of Biltmore. I have attached a few of my favorite photos from a microwedding at the Lioncrest. The food was outstanding and the service was great. I have photographed a lot of weddings in my 17 year career as a wedding photographer and this was one of the best meals I have had at a wedding. Delicious.”

“Our daughter Basil and new son Jethro got married this past weekend at Homewood this weekend. We loved the venue and found in affordable and accommodating. It fit perfectly for the theme wedding we had. All of the vendors we worked with were friendly and delivered a fantastic product. There were a few minor things that could’ve been improved, but did not diminish the overall experience we enjoyed. All the guests enjoyed the event and spoke highly of the venue and event.”

“Family owned fun filled mini golf course! We love playing at Tropical Gardens Minigolf! Very well maintained and clean! Easy to access off of Patton Avenue. The snowcones are the best in WNC!”

“Greek Festival on Saturday (went early for smaller crowds initially and faster getting our food). Fun music and dancing in the outdoor tent at scheduled times. Great food and desserts. Many vendors throughout the grounds. We did not take the tour of the church (only specific times).”

“Vanessa at We Rock is wonderful to work with! I used her classroom space and it was great. Her gym has really cool equipment and children love it. Highly recommend.”

“Great artist and great human.
Studio and gallery is full of history and edgy design. Don’t miss a visit with Daniel and invest in his intuitive neo-expressionist work.”

“We checked in on a Sunday night and Daniel helped us greatly. He was very kind helping us get checked in and then when we had a problem with our tv remote control and our room keys, he took care of that efficiently. We really appreciate Daniel’s kindness and is attentiveness to our needs. The breakfast was great and our room was very comfortable. The hotel is in a good location to walk to eateries or to drive within a quarter of a mile to various well-known restaurants.”

“This place is a God-send; helpful and encouraging, uplifting and spiritual to the glory of God in every way. God willing, I try to get here once a year to take it all in, and enjoy the speakers as well. There are so many opportunities (January-November seminars) (December concerts) to come and learn and grow in your faith, then relax in the beautiful surroundings, or take a healthy hike or a leisurely stroll, through the many paths and trails. it's quiet; perfect for prayer, reflection, and meditation.”

“Cool venue, great sound and space! I would prefer to be able to bring drinks up from the bourbon bar downstairs but I get the laws. They should at least have the show on down there, at least I didn't see it when I was there.”

“This is my favorite theater by far. The staff is great, the menu is quite nice, and reclining seats!

Update! Still Awesome.

Next Update! Still Awesome.”

“We were immediately blown away by the Biltmore Banquet Hall. Much like the rest of the home, that is outstanding. The huge fireplaces and massive table immediately capture your attention. Looking around and we noticed the massive circular shaped ceiling insuring almost perfect acoustics. The furniture and furnishings are each noteworthy in themselves. It is hard for me to imagine what an eight course meal was like in such surroundings.”

“We took our youth to bowling and added food to the our party. It was set up buffet style and everything was great and professional! Everything was clean and the food was hot! What a great place to take your group!”

“This hotel is beautiful clean and close to the highway. All of the staff from the front desk to housekeeping to the bar and restaurant were friendly and helpful. We stopped on the first leg of our vacation and I accidentally left a prescription behind. They found it and offered to ship it or hold it for me until we came back through Asheville. The pool was refreshing. The a/c kept our room cool and comfortable. Thank you! I look forward to staying there again.”

“The location is just a short walk from lots of cute shops and fun restaurants.
The hotel appears to be newer construction and the lobby is clean and well maintained. All of the staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful.

The rooms are modern, stylish, and very clean. My complaint is that it is very poorly insulated/soundproofed. There is no carpet in the rooms and the floors and surfaces are generally hard, and when the doors close they are very loud. This means that every time someone allowed their door to close naturally, it woke me up. If the door to the room next door closed, the adjoining wall literally vibrated. And then there were kids running up and down the hall at midnight. Unfortunately that's a parenting issue more than a hotel issue, but posting quiet hours might help? Regardless, in two nights, I don't think I slept more than 90 minutes without waking up from hallway noise.

I ate and had a drink at the bar one night. The drink was tasty and worth the money. The food was sad and definitely not worth the price. Go eat somewhere nearby.”

“Was very impressed with the lobby upon entering. I want to commend doorman Colin in particular. Was very gracious and helpful to me. I’ve not experienced the kind of pleasant service he provides in a long time.

Safety: Need your key to get in and out of parking and side exterior doors.”
