We truly cannot say enough good things about Henderson Acres!!!
Before settling on Henderson Acres, we scoured the Knot, Wedding Wire, Here Comes the Guide, and Vrbo/AirBnb, we se...arched Google Maps, and even asked ChatGPT to find all the venues in the area with mountain views. What we found was the views at Henderson Acres were among the best, and compared to other venues, the price was better, location *significantly* more convenient, and Brett (the owner) the most helpful and hands-on. Compared to other venues, Henderson Acres is also a lot more flexible (e.g. BYOB), which allowed us to make our dream wedding a reality within our budget.
Throughout the planning process, we continued to be SO grateful we picked Henderson Acres. We had multiple phone calls with Brett, sent him too many texts to count, and asked him what seems like a million questions -- all of which he responded to quickly, kindly, and helpfully. We used their furniture package for our day and highly recommend. It was super nice to show up in the morning with the tables, chairs, and linens already set up.
Huge bonus - they recently installed a custom retractable ceiling with walls that goes over the reception deck in just a minute or so. If the weather is good, you can't even tell it's there. And even when the ceiling and walls are out, it still looks beautiful and you get mountain views. It was awesome that we didn't need to invest in a tent rental and had a super convenient, no-stress rain back-up option (that we also luckily didn't have to resort to - the weather was beautiful).
On the day of the wedding, Brett and his team continued to be so helpful. A week later and our family members are still remarking at how awesome they were, and how they struck a really good balance of being around to help while also letting us have the space.
Our guests were in awe of how beautiful and well-done the venue was inside and out. Brett and his wife have put an incredible amount of work and thought into the home, and it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. That the venue is so close to downtown Asheville made it a great weekend for people with varying interests.
Our professional photos and videos aren't back yet but we just couldn't wait to rave about his place! We'll upload more when we get them.
