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!

They really fought for us to have the outdoor ceremony we wanted, even when the weather wasn't cooperating, they really cared, but we decided to have it inside with the door open and it was Magical! The sun started breaking through, birds were chirping. They answered every single question we threw at them. The venue itself is breathtaking with gorgeous grounds and thoughtful details everywhere you look. Allie was professional yet joyful to work with, and the whole team made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire planning process.
