Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Its fab downtown Asheville location puts your guest within steps of the town’s best restaurants and nightlife. But you don’t need to leave the hotel to find a stellar rooftop bar for your afterparty—Soprana Cucina serves up nibbles and cocktails with an unforgettable view…and is available for private dining, too.
- The Blue Ridge Ballroom has a clean, contemporary feel, with sleek recessed lighting, warm wood accents, and a style-friendly neutral color palette. Moveable walls mean it can easily be adapted to accommodate weddings both intimate and grand.
- You’ll benefit from the help of their super-experienced events team, as well as all their awesome planning tools—including a custom attendee website that will provide you and your guests with all the important details for the big day.
