    Amazing Wedding Venue

    Working with Highland was a wonderful choice for our wedding. We fell in love with the brewery on a visit to the area and were even more impressed with the event center. The entire team was wonderful to work with and provided great options for all of our needs. We love Highland so much and could recommend it more to those in the Asheville area.

    Svagerko-Ferster Wedding

    Highland was an incredible wedding venue. The space was perfect and included multiple levels, bars, picturesque views, and a stage for the band. The venue offered custom details including the ability to design a beer glass logo and to name a seasonal beer. Kirsten was our coordinator and she was responsive, friendly, and professional. She offered flexibility with our rehearsal, decor drop off, and decor pick up We rented a few volleyball courts at the Meadow on Friday and it was a great way to connect with our guests. The Meadow staff were extremely friendly and we were able to utilize the on site food trucks

    We love Highland!

    Highland was the perfect venue for us— from the friendly staff, beautiful event space and everything in between, we are so happy we chose them. Kirsten was our venue coordinator and she was so helpful, we loved getting to work with her! Communication with their event staff was excellent and easy, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We also had our welcome party in the Meadow and rented the silo cabanas, which were such a fun addition and made for a great get together with our guests before the wedding. We highly recommend Highland for any event space needs!

    Best Venue in Asheville

    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!
