From the moment we first reached out, the staff was incredibly accessible, friendly, and flexible in helping us plan our special day.

We loved that the venue had lots of decorations available that we could use, and the staff was so helpful in making sure everything was set up just right while we were on site.

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.

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.
