Two ways to book the room

5 hour rental

Ceremony & Reception

Time to say I do, share a heartfelt meal, and lose yourselves in the joy of dancing, ending with a smooth transition to a downtown after-party.

4 hour rental

Reception Only

After saying I do at the location of your choice, welcome guests to a warm cocktail hour and a dinner prepared by your caterer. Then turn up the music.

Fully insured, and we hold all required ABC alcohol permits.

“The location downtown was perfect for our guests to be able to stay nearby and enjoy the vibe of downtown Asheville. The space was perfect for our larger wedding with about 170 guests. … They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and helped arrange every detail we asked for, big or small.”

Where it is

In the middle of downtown, on purpose

The building is at 21 North Market Street, a block east of Broadway. Guests walk to it from the downtown hotels, two of them a block away, and Asheville Regional Airport is about 15 miles south on I-26. There is no private lot, and there does not need to be: four city garages and the hotel decks are all within a few minutes on foot. Parking, hotels and getting here has the list.

The weekend can stay in one building. The Second Level seats 120 for a rehearsal dinner the night before, and for a smaller day there are elopements and micro weddings Monday to Thursday.

“Months later, we still have guest talking to us about how delicious the food was!! … As a self proclaimed perfectionist, I actually relaxed and enjoyed our wedding day. Everything executed perfectly by The Venue.”
