10/10 would recommend! Working with The Venue was a great overall experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly helpful, and they did their part to ensure an enjoyable event for our guests. We had around 65 guests and utilized the market for a pre/post reception and the mezzanine for the main program.I would absolutely host an event here again!

My experience at The Venue was absolutely incredible! From the planning process to the wedding night, we couldn't have picked a better venue. Kendall, the coordinator, was amazing to work with and remained responsive throughout the entire process. The food was delicious, and the location is perfect for a destination wedding in Asheville. I highly recommend The Venue to anyone looking for an amazing wedding experience.

As a business owner with LK Productions Entertainment, we help corporations find venues for their events. We recently had the opportunity to work at The Venue Asheville in Asheville NC. We worked with the Event Manager Deandra Bodenhorst. She and her team were all extremely professional and made sure that everyone was very well taken care of. She was prompt and very accommodating. I would highly recommend Deandra and The Venue Asheville to anyone looking for a great venue. Awesome team of professionals, a great location, and a very nice facility. ~Lorenzo King

We hosted a knitting retreat with our company Knitrino & author Barbara Kingsolver and The Venue made everything magical! From the first phone call where it was easy to get directly to the owner, and each stage of planning with Deandra - who truly is a Magic Maker - we had the most amazing experience.This place & team has it all - prompt answers to questions, helping you stick to a budget, the FRIENDLIEST staff in the world, and they really enjoy being part of your big deal and celebrate with you!In a city with lots of great food, this place also gets my 5-stars. We wanted a fiesta themed night but also easy mingling and also had lots of dietary restrictions to consider. They knocked everything out of the park!Honestly, I want to do it all over again!THe BIGGEST thanks for making our knitting love story come true!Andrea Cullcofounder Knitrino &Chief Knitting Officer

Explore Asheville hosted the inaugural The Year Ahead partner event at the venue on Jan 19. From start to finish, the staff at The Venue were absolutely outstanding and professional. I worked primarily with Kendall, who handled our large scale event with ease and confidence. Our guests truly enjoyed the space and we can't wait to work with The Venue for another great event!

We held our office Christmas party at the Venue this year. I can't thank Deandra, and the entire staff, enough for helping to make the party a huge success! Everything was decorated so beautifully, and the food was amazing. We will definitely use the Venue again in the future and I will recommend it to everyone!

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!!So thankful we chose The Venue for our special day!Photo: Sheila Nolt

Would highly recommend using The Venue and The Planning for your wedding! The location downtown cannot be beat and the space has the best industrial vibe Breanna with The Planning is the BEST and her communication was amazing during the whole process. I am extremely detail oriented and they truly thought of everything for the day.

Everything from the planning process to the day of our rehearsal dinner went flawlessly! The staff all the way down to the bartenders were some of the most genuine and kind people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. The food was actually incredible, we opted for the BBQ and Mac & cheese station which was so elegant and delicious! Deandra and Paige, it was an absolutely dream to work with you both. My entire family thanks you and appreciates the time and effort it took to have everything come together. The best venue and experience we could ever hoped for!

Blown Away - If you're looking for a place to have a reception, wedding, or corporate event The Venue should be your first and last stop. This place is incredible. The space has three floors for guests to utilize including an outdoor patio for those that want to step out for some fresh air. Paige was a joy to work with. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious, especially the Salmon and Pimento Cheese. I would highly recommend this place for your next event.

I cannot say enough good things about our event at The Venue. When organizing a huge multi-day event all the help you cant get is truly appreciated. Paige Riner was a rock star. She was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to planning our event. Her suggestions were spot on. There was no lack of communication. Paige was very responsive to all questions/concerns we had along the way. The food and the service was top notch. Many of our guests stated that it was the best part of our multi-day event. There would be no hesitation on my part to have another event at The Venue.

Our regional nonprofit hosted a corporate event for 200+ people at The Venue and I unequivocally recommend Paige and her team. The facility itself is beautiful, the location is convenient to all things Downtown Asheville, and the food and service were outstanding. From the moment that we selected The Venue as the location for our event, we received unsurpassed service - they were responsive and timely with all communications and deliverables, showed excellent attention to detail, and pleasantly accommodated all our changes and requests. I wish the rest of our conference planning had run as smoothly as our experience with The Venue! Highly recommend and will absolutely host events at The Venue in the future.

I wish I could give the venue more than just 5 stars! My wedding day was perfect because of the Venue and the staff. I have to give a huge shout out to Deandra and Breanna, they made my day so perfect. They were super organized and took care of everything I might have needed not only on my wedding day but the 9 months leading up to it. I would recommend the Venue to anyone to get married at.
