“Our previous wedding venue cancelled on us 2 months before our wedding … We met Kendall and she immediately was so helpful, allowed me to tour the venue right away, and took away the stress of having to find a new venue. Our wedding day went seamlessly because of the attentive staff, and everyone said it was so beautiful !”

Before you ask

Tour questions

How do I book a tour of The Venue?
Call 828-252-1101, or send your date through the form and the office will offer times. Tours run Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, by appointment.
What will we see on a tour?
Both bookable levels, with someone from the office: the Market floor and the Mezzanine, which together seat 250, the stairway, and the Second Level, which seats 120 and opens onto the balcony over downtown Asheville. Bring your date and your guest count and the tour becomes a conversation about your event.
Can we tour on a Saturday, or during an event?
Saturdays are select hours, so ask; a weekday is the sure thing. We cannot tour during most events, because the team is running that night, but tours do happen before an event starts.
