“Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.”

“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!!! Thank you to Alexandra, Joey, and everyone else at WH for making this process and day the best of our entire lives.”

“I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!”

They have such a unique space and we loved that it basically ended up being an all inclusive spot. We opted to have Namu handle our space, food, bar, and day of coordinator. We originally wanted to be out in the garden but because of unexpected cooler weather and light rain, we were able to change to an outdoor ceremony on the patio and indoor reception in the cafe. As Durham locals, we love that we’ll be able to go back every year to remember our special day!”

Rachel and the entire staff made everything so easy and the space worked perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. The price was all inclusive- to include the venue, the staff, and open bar for our guests for a designated amount of time and ended up being cheaper than it would have been had we purchased all the elements separately, and with the convenience of having everything (and everyone) under one roof! The ambience was exactly what we were looking for: rustic, yet dreamy- with twinkle lights everywhere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to say “I do”!”

“We had our reception at Trailside this past Fall of 2023. The day of, everything went perfectly. We were given ample time to set up, freedom to move around in the space, and ability to utilize it as we saw fit. The venue usually has live music, but they booked an acoustic band, which set up in the main dining area of the brewery. Our reception was able to play its own music, from speakers we brought, and not feel impacted from the live music going on for the rest of the patrons. Our event did not co-mingle too much with the general public; however there was a couple people that drifted in and we politely asked them to leave. As stated above, our overall day of was all we could have wanted and more. The days leading up to our reception were very stressful due to renovations that weren't quite ready for our event. Since we were the first party in this space, we had to bare the growing pains, which Trailside tried to accommodate for as much as possible. I believe since we were the "test" party, this team will grow from the experience. All in all, our reception day was all we could have wanted and more, so when it came down to the wire, the team delivered.”

The staff made my guests and I feel like we were VIP the entire evening. We were able to have a sunset dinner on the rooftop and everyone was in awe! They customized a menu for us and the set up was something out of a magazine. We worked with their on-sight Event Coordinator who handled everything from start to finish and worked great with our budget. 10 out of 10. I would HIGHLY recommend!”

“As a couple we've always loved Petty Thieves, so when we discovered they could be rented out as a reception venue we immediately reached out. We loved the warm, unique feel to the space and it fit our vibe as a couple perfectly. We also loved how flexible the space could come, from making a dance floor, using the outside for s'mores, and clearing space to do our dances/toasts. Kelli, the event manager, worked closely with us and our month-of coordinator to create a timeline that worked for a reception. She helped us problem solve layout and how to best incorporate our vendors. She also made sure the space and staff were ready for our day as soon as the guests arrived. Thank you to Kelli and Petty Thieves for helping make our day so special!”

“We had a wonderful dinner party Dec 6, 2024 at the Trophy Brewing Morgan Street location! Planning the event with Brittany made for an excellent night. Her quick responses to my many questions and helpful recommendations ensured our party to go off without a hitch. Trophy is known for their pizza, so we were very impressed with how good the alternative entree's were. The apps and entree's were served hot, on time and plenty and desserts to die for. The two room venue was comfortable for our 50 guests and the attentive, friendly and polite staff went above and beyond serving the drinks, apps and attending to our guests needs. We were also very appreciative of Tabatha and the staffs unexpected help for decorative setup and break down and the slide show setup before and after the event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Trophy Brewing & Pizza!”

Imagine yourself walking off a busy street in America and through a door that takes you back in time to the cozy and communal atmosphere of a traditional pub 100 years ago in Ireland. This is what David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan set out to accomplish when they built their first Rí Rá pub in Charlotte, NC in 1997. They set to work in Dublin to meticulously restore the unique Victorian bar in the middle of the Charlotte pub. Rí Rá is located in Charlotte's busy banking district. Since opening, it has become a favorite hot spot for downtown locals and visitors alike. The pub is unique in that it was built from an actual old pub in Ireland. It was first built in the early 1800s for the officer's mess in the Phoenix Park Barracks in Dublin.
