Elopements in downtown Asheville
A historic building on Market Street in downtown Asheville, an open-air balcony, and no seating chart. Elopement packages run Monday to Thursday from $1,500; a small wedding under 50 guests quotes from the first row of the pricing table.

Why midweek
Monday to Thursday
Weekends belong to full weddings, which is what makes a midweek elopement possible at all. It also means the building is yours without a room being turned around behind you.

Intimate weddings
Between an elopement and a full wedding there is the day with the people who matter most in the room and nobody else. The Second Level seats 120, so a wedding of 30 or 50 sits comfortably at long tables under the timber roof, with the balcony for the ceremony or the cocktail hour and its own entrance from the street.
A small wedding on any day of the week quotes from the first row of the wedding pricing table, from $6,200 with the room, the equipment and the staffing in the number. Monday to Thursday, the three elopement packages above are the other way in. Tell us the headcount and the day on the elopement form and we will quote it.
