Cadillac Service Garage is located in the heart of downtown Greensboro. As we renovated this historic 1921 Cadillac Dealership, we respected its character and kept the exposed brick walls, original black & white marble Showroom floor and lofty 30' ceilings with skylights. We added only "real" materials like concrete, brick, steel, reclaimed wood and glass in bringing the old building back to life as a wedding venue. The result is a truly unique, handcrafted, industrial urban-renewal work of art! Cadillac Service Garage features a private Terrace Courtyard, gorgeous architectural features, industrial texture and a Wandering Garden for photography, multiple indoor & outdoor ceremony locations, two large, well-appointed private suites with early access, two built-in bars, a built-in stage, on-site parking, custom-built farm tables & Chiavari chairs, and custom lighting that includes permanent (indoor & outdoor) festoon string lights.

We believe that celebrating life and hosting is one of the greatest joys imaginable. Our lives take us in so many different directions, that finding the time, much less the space to be together feels impossible. When events can be firmly put on the calendar, you have achieved an amazing feat. Gathering so many people with different lives and schedules for one night is a monumental task. We have an incredibly large family ourselves so every birthday and holiday feels like a massive event. Once you nail down the date, we want to be the space where you can host your loved ones. Where you can share food and drink, and create a memory that will stay with them for a lifetime. We would be honored if you could create those memories with us. We created this space with our family in mind and we hope we can share it with yours

Highland is definitely the best venue in Asheville! The rooftop has beautiful mountain views, the barrel room has a great skylight and hanging greenery, and the reception space can be made into whatever you want it to be. We used all three spaces for our wedding and it has great flow and plenty of space for a larger guest count. Erin & Bailey were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process from touring/initial questions to all the tiny details leading up to the big day. Our wedding was scheduled shortly after the hurricane in fall 2024, and we were so passionate about having it at Highland that we rescheduled to 6 months later, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Amazing staff, excellent draft beer, convenient to downtown, and a beautiful space; we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

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!!!

We’ve hosted multiple events in this space, and I’ve also attended several as a guest, and it has been fantastic every time. The room itself is large and flexible, so it can be set up for a wide range of events—showers, parties, corporate gatherings, you name it. The vaulted ceilings with exposed wood structure and the floor-to-ceiling windows give it a modern, airy feel, and the natural light during the day is incredible. Guests always comment on how fun and comfortable the space is. There’s an arcade game and a pool table that people naturally gravitate toward, plus an outdoor patio area that works great for mingling or getting a breath of fresh air. The building backs up to the woods, so it feels quiet and tucked away, even though it’s still just a quick trip from anywhere in the Triangle. From a logistics standpoint, it’s hard to beat: plenty of parking, ADA accessibility, large bathrooms right off the event space, and a clean, modern lobby that makes a great first impression as guests arrive. Overall, this is a versatile, modern event space that’s easy to get to, easy to use, and really enjoyable to be in. Highly recommend.

We love working at Ironclad. The entire team is easy to work with and Rachel is top-notch. We've planned many weddings there over the years and it's one of our favorite venues in downtown Wilmington. The guests love that it's conveniently located to many hotels so they can walk to their rooms at the end of the night. They serve great beers but also have great liquor packages. And if you haven't tried their new seltzers, do yourself a favor and go there now!

PINE was an amazing venue for our wedding. The team was friendly, helpful, and responsive to all of our questions. The open and airy space was flooded with natural light, creating a beautiful, modern backdrop for our day. I enjoyed being able to personalize the venue space and bring our vision to life. While the venue pricing didn't include a lot of additional things (i.e. room set up/flip, room design, decor, coordination is all extra) , it was still worth the cost and has so many amazing spots for photos! The vibes are amazing and the bridal suite is fantastic for getting ready! We loved celebrating our special day at this venue!

The Stockroom at 230 was perfect. Compared to the other weddings I saw in their catalog, mine was minimalist. (I left many decorations) It was beautiful regardless. They are great with organizing floor plans. They designed one for me where there was no need for a room change. That brick and wood floor look is nice, but the bridal suite was such a bonus. My sisters and I had a grand time up there. It has a nice view and easy to decorate for your theme though it's not necessary. The groom's suite isn't as large, but more than sufficient. My husband and groomsmen enjoyed themselves there. I didn't get a food plan nor did they force it on me. I love that. I could see a Stockroom staff member at all times. Additionally there was security. There were no hiccups, but I got married St. Patrick's Day Weekend. My wedding was beautiful.
