Cocktail to semi-formal, but no pressure.
Our ceremony will be in the theater of the Asheville Masonic Temple. Designed by British American architect and Freemason Richard Sharp Smith, the building was opened in April 1915. It features the original hand-painted sets created in 1915 by the traveling Masonic artist from Chicago, Thomas Gibbs Moses. The theater is located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the historic Temple with an expansive staircase that leads guests to their experience, or they can jump back in time on a historic elevator.

The Century Room offers a beautiful turn-of-the-century ballroom overlooking Pack Square Park. High ceilings, exposed wood trusses and brick walls create a wonderful atmosphere with a backdrop of downtown Asheville. The Century Room is above Pack's Tavern. If you're facing the main door to Pack's Tavern, walk a bit to the right and you'll see a gray door marked The Century Room. That's your entrance. If you prefer an elevator, go into the Tavern, and you'll find the elevators straight back on the far wall.
