“From our very first tour to the actual day, Weaver House was the perfect fit for us. Alexandra and her team absolutely knocked it out of the park. They were incredibly detail oriented and helpful every step of the way. Alexandra provided so much to make our experience as memorable and easy as possible. We ended up picking vendors from the list they provided and it did not disappoint. Not only is the venue itself gorgeous - but the people that work there truly make this place special. If we had to get married again I would do it exactly the same. The food was absolutely incredible - hands down the best dining we've had a wedding. All of our guests could not stop raving about their dinner and drinks. We got to carefully curate our menu with the help of their chefs. We were able to suggest ideas for dishes and fine tune every little detail - even the presentation! I could write an entire manifesto about this place and how grateful we are to have found it. Their team executed my vision to a tee and helped save me money along the way with their professional tips and tricks. They provided a lot - more than most wedding venues do. We were able to use all of there tables, chairs, table numbers, floating candle votives, and more. If you are looking to get married in the Asheville area you HAVE to check this place out. There is no other place like it - from the gorgeous one of a kind Japanese garden to the superb staff, I cannot recommend this place enough. We have already talked about renewing our vows here in 10 years thats how much we love it. Do yourself a favor and book this place now!!!

“Our wedding at Zoo Knoxville was absolutely perfect. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and kept us informed every step of the way, which made planning so much easier. They went above and beyond by recommending vendors, helping us with catering and decorations, and gifting us with artwork created by our favorite animals! The venue itself is stunning with lovely options for both ceremony and reception spaces, and the food was delicious. The staff genuinely cared about making our day special and it showed in every detail. We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate with our loved ones.”
