em only about a month before my date and they were so cool about it. No problem at all. The food was delicious and they gave me exactly what I wanted PLUS decorated my cake for me last minute as well, which looked amazing. The bartenders were great and they created a little mocktail menu for me. They have more than enough tables, chairs, and linens available for your use. The space is beautiful, elegant, and roomy and right in the heart of downtown Asheville so it has such a fun vibe to it. I 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place.
