My husband and I hosted our wedding at The Willow and Whisk back in June. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or for better hosts! The property is absolutely beautiful and Andrea and her family were amazing to work with. They were the most gracious hosts and super accommodating for our weekend. We rented the venue from Friday-Sunday for us and the wedding party, which was so convenient for our friends coming from out of state. Andrea also helped me coordinate with all of my vendors, which made the weekend go much smoother than if I had done it all myself. Every single one of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the experience. We hope to come back and stay for an anniversary trip some day! If you're looking for a secluded yet beautiful venue to host a small wedding or get together, I highly highly recommend The Willow and Whisk.

The Studio 

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Up to 30 guests
  • Raw space

The Studio was born out of a vision to create a chic, versatile space in Downtown Asheville that caters to creatives, professionals, and those hosting intimate events, all at an affordable price. With 12 years of experience in Asheville’s hospitality and event industry, I saw a need for a venue that feels perfectly sized for smaller gatherings, without the oversized costs often associated with larger spaces. Whether you’re planning a micro-wedding, rehearsal dinner, or photoshoot, The Studio is designed to provide an inspiring and elegant setting that fits your event and your budget. Hosting an event for 20 shouldn’t come with the same price tag as one for 100, and The Studio offers a solution for those seeking a beautifully modern space tailored to their needs. At The Studio, we believe in supporting Asheville’s vibrant community of creatives and professionals, offering a space where big ideas can thrive in a way that works for the local market.

We recently hosted our micro-wedding at The Studio AVL, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The venue's chic, modern design provided a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. With a capacity of up to 40 guests, it was the ideal size for our intimate gathering. The full-day buyout option allowed us to enjoy the space at our own pace, without feeling rushed. The Studio comes fully furnished with stylish tables and chairs, and the optional bridal suite was a lovely addition for pre-ceremony preparations. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a versatile and affordable venue in downtown Asheville, I highly recommend The Studio AVL.

Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!
