Highland Brewing Company

From the moment our son and his bride chose Highland Brewery for their rehearsal dinner venue, the planning went smoothly. We worked closely with Bailey who helped us find vendors for flowers, catering and photography and really appreciated her being the point of contact for organizing the beautiful evening. Surrounded by the scenic mountains, the celebration kicked off on the deck with hors d’œuvres, craft beer, drinks and a quartet of blue grass musicians. Again, all the behind the scenes organization went seamlessly and we felt free to celebrate with Bailey and the Brewery working hard to make the night a success. Our guests were further delighted as we moved downstairs to the unique and special Barrel Room for dinner. Bailey helped with our seating plan and getting the tables set and looking very welcoming and while we enjoyed dinner she made sure our electronics and monitor were set up for the slideshow and speeches. Beyond the professionalism, we so enjoyed working with kind people who were always available for our planning questions and who were friendly and helpful with our guests who’d travel from far away. Our celebration was so fun and like anything, it’s the people and setting which make the lasting memories. We highly recommend the historic Asheville Highland Brewery for your special occasion- you will be thrilled as we were!

Highland Brewing Company was an absolute dream of a wedding venue! It is beautiful inside and out and we loved having a simple yet rustic blank canvas for our wedding vision to come to life. The rooftop was perfect for our ceremony and the reception space was stunning. We do not live in Asheville, so we did our initial venue tour via FaceTime and even through a phone camera we were sold! I DIY'd and brought a lot of our decor and Highland staff was amazing in helping us unload the decor the night before during our rehearsal and storing it safely overnight. Highland's preferred vendor list was spot on and they had impeccable recommendations for vendors they see frequently which made planning from afar and the day of so seamless! My only critique about our experience with Highland was that during the planning process (which for us was a lengthy 2 years) we were passed between a few different event planning staff members. While it all worked out in the end, it was a bit annoying to have to revisit specific questions and details with each new person. Overall we'd definitely recommend Highland to any couple looking for a wedding or event venue as it was THE BEST day ever! We can't wait to come back and visit next time we're in town.

We live in Florida and decided on a destination wedding in Asheville. The first time I laid eyes on the Event Center at Highland Brewing, I knew I had to get married there. The views from the rooftop are astonishing (especially in October) and everything inside the space is beautiful. Bailey helped bring my vision to light and the staff on the day of were wonderful! We definitely recommend Highland Brewing Company for an unforgettable wedding venue from start to finish!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My daughter's wedding at Highland Brewery in Asheville, NC, was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the venue grounds, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The industrial-chic ambiance of the brewery provided a unique and vibrant backdrop for the celebration. The staff at Highland Brewery went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect – from the beautifully decorated event space to the impeccable service throughout the evening. The flexibility and creativity of the Highland Brewery team allowed us to customize the wedding to reflect our vision. The outdoor area was stunning for the ceremony, and the indoor space seamlessly transformed for a night of dancing and celebration. What truly set this venue apart was the exceptional customer service. The staff anticipated our needs, ensuring a stress-free and joyful experience. A special shout-out to the event coordinator who was a true gem – organized, attentive, and dedicated to making the day unforgettable. Highland Brewery holds a special place in our hearts, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue for anyone seeking a magical and memorable wedding day! Gratefully, Mother of the Bride

Highland Brewing is such a great space! If you've never been, the event space sits somewhat separate from their taproom and meadow areas (where normal customer traffic is), and has a fantastic part rustic/part industrial feel. Weather-permitting, the ceremony on the roof was beautiful, with a backdrop of the mountains and blue skies. The staff were all very accommodating and happy to answer any questions we had. Of the venues we toured, Highland not only felt the most like "us," but was also a great price compared to many places in the area. It was an easy decision at that point and we couldn't be happier with how everything went!

I got married in August 2023 at Highland Brewing Company, and it was the best experience! Highland was the perfect venue for us because, for one, it is such a beautiful venue. We didn’t really want to splurge on decorations and we didn’t have to because of how beautiful the Highland venue is on its own! The rooftop area was one of my absolute favorites, and it is the perfect place to have your ceremony and cocktail hour (and, of course, the inside space is absolutely stunning too if you need to move inside because of weather!) The team at Highland is also so friendly, kind, and responsive, and everyone I spoke to was so helpful during my planning. And one of the best things about Highland is you can have a special wedding beer on your wedding day! It was such a fun little addition. Overall, Highland is an absolutely fantastic wedding venue if you’re looking for something fun and unique (seriously, you can even get some awesome photos in the canning room!) in the Asheville area!

I love love love this venue! Our wedding was beautiful and having the outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception was perfect for an evening wedding. The staff was extremely helpful, kind and always very fast at responding to my questions. Everything was AMAZING! Thank you Highland Brewing and the team for making my vision come to life!

The venue was beautiful! Just what we wanted for our rehearsal dinner. The planner and staff were responsive and extremely helpful! Thank you!

We had the best rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Highland's event center! It was so convenient to have the rehearsal dinner inside and the welcome party on the rooftop - early arrivals to the welcome party had a separate entrance so they didn't have to disturb our dinner as we were wrapping up. The Highland team makes the planning process super easy and fun! We had our own "wedding beer" and they leaned into the unusually warm temperatures by serving our guests popsicles and prosecco. Their A/V team coordinated our curated playlist in both event spaces and showed a photo slideshow we put together during our dinner. The spaces were the perfect size for our ~60 person dinner and ~160 person welcome party. We had the best wedding weekend kickoff here and would highly recommend hosting your event at Highland!

Highland was the perfect wedding venue for us! Our ceremony was on the roof of the event space with a beautiful view of the mountains in the background. Our reception was downstairs inside the event space. It was the perfect size for our 150 guest count. There is a bar on the roof for cocktail hour and 2 bars inside plus room for our liquor bar, which was perfect as our guests like to drink! Throughout our planning process Highland was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating of any requests/questions we had. Our coordinator, Tyler, was great! Most importantly they allowed our dog, Taco, to be in our ceremony and that meant a lot to us! We highly recommend this venue!

READ FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION. We are giving 5 stars because the day of was perfect and they had a brand new coordinator who was awesome! But just a light warning, 7 months before the wedding we were informed that a large public event would be taking place at the same time as our wedding. Our contract indicated the potential for private events but not large public ones. But we also signed over 2 years prior to the actual date, so the more recent contracts may have more specific wording. Make sure to ask about potential large public events (this was a 5k race) or check the contract for this wording in case it is a deal breaker. I think this 5k is usually in July, but my husband and I are not involved in the Asheville running scene and had no idea it existed (also were not told it was a possibility until the above mentioned 7 months before). With that, Highland was extremely accommodating, let us start earlier to avoid crowds, gave us parking spaces, and comped some decor. Don't let the above stop you from having a wedding here, just make sure to ask for these sorts of details! Our in house planner (Bailey) was new but absolutely perfect. She was super calm and organized! The venue itself was perfect, tons of places for pictures and a great all around space. The bartenders were so cool and fun too! Except for the little snafu prior to the wedding (which Highland made up for) they were the perfect venue for us!

We had our rehearsal/welcome dinner for our son’s wedding at the Barrel Room at Highland Brewing. The space was perfect for our group of 40 people. Bailey was our venue coordinator. She was the best. Her organization and communication skills along with her positive attitude made working with her a delight. She was quick to respond and handled anything we threw at her! The catering, set up, and serving all went smoothly with her coordinating it all. The space was beautiful and the event was enjoyed by everyone. Only positive feedback from our guests.

We had our brunch wedding at Highland in May and it was absolutely perfect! We had our ceremony on the rooftop and followed with reception in the barrel room. It was the perfect venue! We then headed out the beer garden afterwards with everyone to keep the party going! All of our friends and family were so impressed by the venue and how smoothly everything went. The rooftop was so unique and beautiful for the ceremony. And the hanging gardens in the barrel room make it really stand out. All of the Highland staff were so professional and organized throughout the whole process and wedding day. Tyler was our coordinator at Highland and he was awesome! He was so helpful with answering all of our questions and ensuring everything ran smoothly. He was so easy to work with and helped make our day be absolutely perfect! We couldn't be happier we chose Highland as our venue!

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and went off without one glitch the whole day. The Highland Brewing Team is awesome! They are super responsive, professional, and go above and beyond. I don't know what I'd have done without them. If you're looking for a beautiful venue that's great to work with - look no more!!

Exceeded expectations! We hosted our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner/welcome party in the Barrel Room, and it was the PERFECT venue. The space is beautiful, the beer was amazing and the event planners were very responsive and helpful. Nothing but very positive comments from our guests! Highly recommend!

My daughter had her wedding at Highland Brewing in April. Weather allowed them to have the wedding on the roof and the reception in the event space below. It was absolutely beautiful. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the venue. There was ample parking for everyone and they could leave their cars overnight and catch a Lyft home. Everything was perfect. The staff at Highland paid attention to every detail we requested. They were extremely professional, responsive and accommodating. I will admit, at first I was not thrilled about my daughter having her wedding at a brewery but I was wrong. It was the ideal setting for them and our guests.

The space is awesome and staff was great. Loved getting to pick our special beer and having room to move around for pictures and our guests to explore the area. If you're looking for something uniquely Ashville, would put this high on your list of consideration!

We got married on New Year's Eve and had our reception at Highland, and it was AMAZING! When we started searching for venues online, Highland was my favorite since my husband & I both love craft beer & the mountains, and I'm so glad it ended up being our fav in person as well. The space was perfect for a winter wedding / New Year's Eve party. You honestly don't need many decorations, Highland is beautiful on its own & any greenery/flowers/etc you add just elevates it even more. Like one of my friends said, "The vibes are immaculate." Even though we couldn't use the rooftop for guests (winter), my husband & I got to take photos up there, which was super fun. The whole Highland team is so professional and friendly, they definitely know what they're doing and are flexible & helpful through the entire planning process. Great team & staff, awesome drinks, and a beautiful & versatile space – definitely recommend Highland to couples getting married in AVL!

My daughter got married at Highland in the Barrel Room with a reception in the event center in December 2022. The venue is the perfect place for a wedding and the staff was amazing. I can not say enough good things about our experience with Highland venue and excellent staff! Everything was perfect from start to finish! They were so accommodating and we had so much fun!!

My wife and I chose Highland Brewing to host our wedding welcome party and we couldn’t have been happier. The space itself was exactly what we were looking for — a rooftop venue with bistro lighting, beautiful views, delicious beer, and incredible customer service. We had the opportunity to work with Halle at Highland Brewing for organizing our welcome party. Halle exuded joy, confidence, and commitment to executing our vision in every encounter. She helped visualize the rooftop space to accommodate our guests, food, and a bluegrass band. The ambiance was everything and we were thrilled with the outcome. We highly recommend Highland!!

We celebrated our wedding in the Barrel Room in December 2022. Sarah Bess did an amazing job working with our wedding planner and vendors! Our wedding was beautiful and intimate and everything we hoped for. Highly recommend!

Highland Brewing was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding day! We had Halle as our coordinator and she was extremely organized and detailed oriented. We never went without information and she was always helpful and supportive. We loved getting married at our favorite brewery!

We loved having our wedding at Highland Brewing! It was the perfect venue for us - laid back/relaxed but equally as beautiful. We had a great experience working with the staff. We originally planned for the ceremony to be on the rooftop but due to rain, we moved it inside. The look and flow of our wedding was just as beautiful and smooth having it inside vs outside. Attaching a few pictures so you can get an idea for the vibe.

This is a fantastic wedding venue! We rented the whole event center and had our ceremony and cocktail hour on the rooftop, followed by our reception inside. Working with the coordinators beforehand was easy and you can tell that they all know what they are doing. All our guests loved the venue! And of course - great beer!

I could not recommend Highland more. Because we had to reschedule our wedding (twice!) due to covid, we had a chance to work with this amazing vendor over the course of several years. In every interaction, they were incredibly supportive and accommodating - highly organized but fun and easy to work with. We were able to see how much they've continued to invest into their spaces, and the big variety of options they now offer. We had a moderately large group (~140 people) and loved the versatility of the indoor-outdoor space, flexible layout options, and beautiful views with easy access. We also loved that they have an elevator, which was a huge help for some of our older guests. 10/10 would recommend forever!

Absolutely loved Highland Brewing as our wedding venue! Great beer, gorgeous mountain views, unique setting, incredibly friendly staff...what more could you ask for. The coordinators were super easy to work with and very professional. The venue itself is easily accessible and allows overnight parking if needed. Even their preferred vendors are amazing! Our guests had a wonderful time!

I can't say enough positive things about Highland Brewing! We had our wedding here on a gorgeous spring day, and the views were spectacular. The team was great to work with - Brittany was our coordinator and was so nice and made sure things ran smoothly during the day. The place is so nicely decorated & designed that it barely needs anything else, and of course the beer is delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to give their guests a taste of Asheville!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Highland! Throughout the planning process their team is available and there to support you with whatever you may need. We did have rain however it was so nice to know we had such a great back up plan, the indoor space was beyond perfect with greenery and the lights. Having our wedding at highland made for the most amazing, relaxed and fun environment in a space that is perfect as is but you can “dress up” as much as you want. They also provide a list of vendors which help guide you through your planning - highly recommend Carolina love events planning & catering by Corey! We can’t imagine having our big day anywhere else!

As an Asheville native, craft beer and mountain views were a must have for my wedding day. Highland was able to deliver on both of these counts. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful through the entire process. The location made this venue very accessible to our guests, many of which opted to stay in the Downtown area. If I could do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing!

I can’t say enough about Highland as a venue for my son’s wedding. From the rooftop to the banquet space to the amazing beer, it was perfect for our group of roughly 150. Best of all was the service from the staff. Huge shout-out to Halle who was so helpful along the way!

Highland Brewing was an INCREDIBLE venue for our wedding. Throughout the planning process they were very relaxed and detailed typical day-of logistics and contingency plans in case of rain (which was needed!). Further, they provided a preferred vendor list that included groups who had done wedding there before. We chose almost exclusively from that list and it was so easy! Even with minimal decorations and having to move the ceremony indoors on the morning-of, this venue looked great and all our guests commented on how nice it was and how much they liked the vibe. Our guests also liked getting to try a lot of different craft beers. Sarah was our day-of coordinator representing Highland Brewing and she was very easy going and worked great with our vendors and planner, and accommodated all of our requests. I would highly recommend using their venue for your wedding!

Our wedding at Highland was so fun!! The view was so incredible, and it was super nice to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same general area. Everything was set up so well, and the space is perfect.

We had our wedding celebration at Highland in their event center. They were so great to work with. The space was awesome and so was the beer.

We hosted our wedding this past weekend in Asheville, NC at Highland Brewing. My husband and I connected with the Highland events team as Marissa is an old friend. When we saw imagery from their past events, it felt like a no-brainer to host our wedding there. Marissa and Brittany were amazing to work with. The venue and the entire team did everything in their power to create a beautiful day for us. Highland’s location, spaces, inventory of rentals and of course, beer, cannot be beat. There is absolutely nothing else like it in the Asheville area and we could not have been more thrilled to get a little bit of both the beautiful scenery of the Blue Ridge mountains, and then indoor industrial chic vibes that Highland provides. Thank you to the entire Highland team for creating a beautiful day for us and working so seamlessly with our entire vendor team!! If you are looking for a venue in the area that can host a large group and do so with style and professionalism, then Highland and their entire events team is the venue for you!!! <3 Olivia & Jonathan

As two craft beer lovers, my husband and I had visited Highland Brewing on a previous trip to Asheville. After we got engaged and learned they had an event space it was on the top of our list when selecting a venue. Halle and the team at Highland exceeded our expectations and were so responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She even helped us reserve a special beer for our signature drink! Our guests all loved the space and it was the perfect combination of rustic and elegant. Don't hesitate to book your wedding at Highland!

My husband and I held our wedding at Highland Brewing Company in Feb 2022 & the venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to have chosen HBC for our special day. The photos we’ve seen in the event center have been stunning & our guests were so enamored with the space. Everyone on the team was also so helpful and wonderful at making our day run so smoothly - we honestly didn't have to worry about a single thing. Highly recommend!

My husband and I got married on November 5th at Highland Brewing Company! We were so happy and pleased with the natural beauty of the venue. The Highland Brewing Company staff was absolutely wonderful and very responsive. They checked on us frequently and made sure we were up to date and happy with the process before, and during our wedding day! Our guests still talk about how amazing the venue was. It was truly perfect in every single way. Not only is this venue great if you enjoy delicious craft beer, but it is perfect if you are looking for a naturally stunning/rustic venue. We definitely recommend Highland Brewing Company for a wonderful wedding venue from start to finish!

Highland Brewing Co. will forever be a special place. We got engaged in the Beer Garden on vacation and after searching for venues in our hometown, decided what better way to celebrate than to get married at our favorite place! The event coordinators were beyond helpful with all areas of planning and setup which made our day go by without a hitch. We chose the Barrel Room for wedding reception with the rooftop for our ceremony for an intimate gathering of close friends and family. We heard nothing but praise from our guests for the amazing views the rooftop had to offer that day with weather being crystal clear. The bar staff were extremely personable and attentive to our entire party. The venue was cozy, comfortable and fulfilled all of our hopes for the wedding we always wanted. Setup and transition from the rooftop to the Barrel Room was seamless. Our dog, who got lots of love from the staff, was able to accompany us during the ceremony so our special baby could see his 2 favorite people on their big day. Nothing better than beer and brunch for our special day. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Co. for anyone’s special event. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this.

Having our wedding at Highland Brewing was a DREAM! My husband and I have been lovers of Highland beer for awhile and so we were so excited to have our wedding there!! It is truly the perfect mix of having more laid back brewery vibes but incredibly classy! The whole event center is absolutely beautiful! There is so much space to take advantage - our wedding was in December and so we had our ceremony/reception on the main level with cocktail hour on the mezzanine and it was perfect!! Plus the rooftop was kept open for us and guests to go up and enjoy the mountain views. On top of the amazing space and delicious beer, the staff were all incredible! Brittany and Marissa were amazing to work with! They were always kind, professional, and quick to respond to any questions leading up. Plus gave us both a virtual tour and in person tour when we were in town! And Brittany made our wedding week/day completely stress free and such a blast! And the beer selection - wow!!! So many of their amazing beers to choose from plus a great wine selection! If you love beer and Asheville, Highland is your spot!

Highland Brewery was so easy to work with. We were not local, in fact no one even lives in the same states. They provided detailed email quotes, answered all questions promptly and accurately. My daughter’s wedding was everything she dreamed of. They allowed us to visit a couple of times, always very accommodating. The first tour was a video walk through, and we booked from that. Every employee was personable, and professional. Marissa and Brittany make a fabulous team.

Booking Highland for our wedding venue was easily one of the best vendor decisions we made. We booked in April 2020 for our Dec. 2021 wedding, and were sold after Nikki spent an hour on face time with us showing us the entire event space and answering every question thoroughly and thoughtfully. Over the course of planning, we worked with Nikki Mitchell, Marissa Burns and Nicole Vega who were each so kind, responsive and accommodating in the midst of a pandemic and a booming 2021 wedding season. Every time we checked in, there was a new improvement they were working on in the space (new floors! refinished stage! new mural in the barrel room!) so it's clear they are deeply invested in their events wing. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour in the barrel room, and moved into the event space for the reception which was perfect for our ~100 person guest count. Our guests loved the space, and I can't recommend enough having a huge bar at the end of the aisle to grab a glass of champagne or a beer at the end of your recessional! Each vendor we hired raved about working with Highland, so the day-of coordination, set up and teardown was seamless. Highland set the tone for the entire event, and we're so grateful for all of their help pulling off our perfect wedding!

Highland Brewing is truly a premier wedding venue with a unique twist. You even get to pick your own small batch beer for your wedding day! They take their jobs seriously and thus take your wedding seriously. They have outstanding relationships with many local vendors and you can tell that they are respected throughout the wedding business community. Like with so many others, the pandemic created a lot of uncertainty around our wedding. We ultimately decided to postpone our wedding and hold an intimate family ceremony on our original date instead. But we still wanted to celebrate with all our friends and family once it was feasible. Nikki, who is now their Hospitality Director, didn’t hesitate to do all she could to help us find a new date that would work for us. Brittany, our venue coordinator for the day, was such a gem and pleasure to work with from pre-event planning meetings all the way through the actual wedding day. And shout out to our awesome bartenders who made sure the champagne was flowing for me all night! So incredibly grateful to everyone involved for making our wedding day so special in the midst of everything.

In the winter of 2018, my fiancé and I went to the Highland Event Center for a Christmas market. After about 10 minutes of looking around and seeing the space, I mentioned to my boyfriend at the time, that I wanted to get married there! Secretly, he and my mom booked the venue for an October 2020 wedding date. When Ed proposed in April 2019, he also surprised me with the fact that the venue was booked and I couldn’t be more excited! Highland was extremely accommodating when we had to change our date from October 2020 to November 2021. We worked specifically with Nicole Vega from Highland and I couldn’t speak more highly of her. She was amazing! So on top of everything! We had our wedding 2 weeks ago at Highland and the event surpassed all expectations! Our band had an easy time getting their stuff into the venue and getting set up on their stage. All bartending staff was delightful to work with- professional and friendly! I would recommend Highland for any event-big or small. We had our ceremony on the roof, cocktail hour in the barrel room, and reception in the grand room. We had 165 guests but we easily could have fit more people (originally planned for 220). They also have the best beer in Asheville so you truly can’t go wrong!!!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner in the Barrell Room and could not of had a better experience! The event space was perfect and the staff was incredible from the very beginning. Totally recommend working with Highland Brewery for your next event!

The event space at Highland Brewing was absolutely perfect for our wedding celebration. We were already legally married and just wanted to have a big party to celebrate - the Highland staff was incredibly helpful and made the day perfect. We love that the venue space is already so beautiful so minimal extra decorations were needed - the rooftop ceremony/cocktail hour and reception downstairs with their huge bar and stage was just amazing. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had been to! Couldn't recommend Highland enough!

We loved Highland Brewing!!!!!!! The space itself is gorgeous, we used very minimal decorations because the wood and murals everywhere are decor enough. Our guests enjoyed the rooftop for cocktail hour- especially as during sunset (and it made for beautiful pictures!). We had 165 guests and it fit everyone comfortably for a seated dinner with plenty of room for a huge dance floor!! Their beer was, of course, amazing, but they had some great other choices for non-beer drinkers and non-alcohol drinkers. They let you pick a small batch beer the week of your wedding and name it whatever you want. They worked easily with our outside vendors and we didn't have any issues. Thank you so much Highland for the best night!!!

Do you love beer and the mountains? Stop looking now and book Highland as your wedding venue. This was the first and only venue we looked at because, seriously, we loved it that much. My partner and I worked with Britany for our event and she was lovely. Everyone at Highland is responsive and wants to do whatever they can to make your day exceptional. While the weather was perfect for our event, another great thing about Highland is that all of their spaces are beautiful so you have a built-in backup plan in case there is bad weather!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Highland! The venue is absolutely amazing - You get the best of both worlds with an outdoor rooftop and amazing indoor space. All of our vendors loved working at the space and all of the Highland staff were a delight to work with! Everyone was very friendly, helpful, communicative and fun. The venue is beautiful on it's own (without a ton of decor) and the perfect size for any wedding. Getting married during a pandemic is not easy, but they made things easy with providing masks and sanitizer for everyone. We were very grateful for everyone there & can't recommend it enough!

Highland Brewing Company was the perfect spot for a beer-lover's wedding. The planning and set up process was so easy thanks to our Day of Coordinator, Brittany, and every detail was perfect. The rooftop was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the event space provided a great space for dinner and dancing the night away.

Highland was our dream venue, and they delivered! Throughout the pandemic they were so communicative and kept our stress low and excitement high. Brittany in particular brought it all together in the end and gave us our ideal wedding. So thrilled with how our wedding turned out!

This venue absolutely set the scene for our wedding! We knew it was a great place to show what Asheville had to offer to our out of town guests. Everything about this venue was amazing- the service, the venue, and of course the beer! We had a blast and are so happy we ended up choosing this venue for our special day. I highly recommend this place!

The Highland event space was the absolute PERFECT wedding venue and we'd host our big day there again in a heartbeat. From the beautiful rooftop views to the customizable/accomodating space to the friendly and fun but professional staff - we couldn't ask for more. If you're looking getting married in Asheville, do it at Highland!

Highland was the very first vendor I booked for my wedding; they were relatively new for a wedding venue at the time and so affordable for the Asheville area, and who doesn't want to get married at a brewery? Planning a wedding through the pandemic could have been very stressful (our original wedding date was June of 2020), but Melissa kept us informed about what was allowed and what wasn't and gave us up until a month before to decide if we wanted to reschedule, which we did. We still held a small ceremony on the rooftop with all of twenty people and Highland was so accommodating making it feel like a true wedding. When we went to reschedule there were only a few dates left in 2021, but we decided on July 9th and they let us keep our original price which was amazing seeing how we booked the venue nearly two years prior. Moving forward to 2021, Brittany became our coordinator from Highland and was just as helpful as Melissa. She kept us informed on what restrictions were being lifted and what Highland was doing in accordance to this. We finally got the good news that we could have a regular ole wedding with as many people as we wanted and we were thrilled! Brittany was great to work with the day of and helped my personal coordinators with any questions they had. Highland provided all of the tables, chairs, lighting and beautiful background for pictures in their pricing which I feel like is rare. Everyone loved the craft beers and the laid back atmosphere of the venue. I can't imagine a more perfect venue to celebrate two beer loving, laid back people.

We cannot speak highly enough about Highland Brewing Company and their event staff! Everyone is super friendly and you are not just another couple getting married there- they make you and your day feel special. Nicole was wonderful- she worked with our wedding coordinator made sure our big day went off without a hitch. All the wood in the event center fit our rustic style and the rooftop ceremony was breathtaking! This is an amazing place to get married!

When we first got engaged, we spent a lot, and I mean a lot of time scoping out venues through Wedding Wire and The Knot but as soon as I saw pictures of Highland, I knew it was our venue. After we visited in Feb. 2020, we were positive that we had to book with them. Well then March 2020 hit and like so many other couples, we had no idea what our dream wedding was going to look like. Nicole and the entire team at Highland were so attentive throughout the planning process and shared updates with us almost every month. We were lucky that by our May 2021 wedding all restrictions were lifted. Woohoo! When we finally returned to Highland almost a year and a half later for our rehearsal, we were blown away. They had made so many updates to the rooftop and it looked even more beautiful. My husband and I were literally giddy with excitement after seeing the venue the day before and I knew that our wedding would be everything we've ever dreamed of. But Highland really is so much more than just a gorgeous venue, the team that runs it is so professional, helpful, communicative, and enthusiastic that you will know right away that you are in good hands.

We cannot say enough about Highland's event space and staff. The space is absolutely gorgeous, the beer is fantastic but most importantly the staff is phenominal! Nicole, our coordinator, was always available for any and all questions, making sure our big day went off without a hitch. I can't recommend this venue enough!

We had a perfect wedding in the middle of a pandemic... I don’t know of a higher compliment to give. We had to postpone our original wedding and planned this one in under two months. From start to finish the entire staff at highland brewing was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and excited for us. Nikki was the first friendly voice we heard who got us started on the right path. She helped us make all the big plans and decisions, checked in often, and answered so many of my questions. Nicole and Marissa talked about every single detail with us, helped us tremendously in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and were the organized, lovely, kind women behind the perfect wedding weekend. I’m so thankful for our love of Asheville and finding highland brewing’s massive and beautiful event space. We got so many compliments and there was so much that they took care of (things included in the rental) so we didn’t have to worry about it (audio and visual, furniture, beer, decor, and so much more). I would recommend this space to anyone!

We got married on the rooftop then had the reception in the event center and this place is awesome. It down poured 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle and the highland team apparently came out with leaf blowers and just dried everything so quick. By the time I walked down the aisle it was PERFECT! The event center is absolutely stunning and everyone had a good time!!

My husband and I CANNOT put into words how much we loved this venue and the event staff! From the moment we walked in, we knew Highland would be our wedding venue. We wanted our big day to showcase everything that we love, with beer and breweries being at the top of that list. From the breath-taking view of the mountains to the amazing rustic feeling in the reception area, Highland's Event Center is so beautiful we barely had to decorate. We also cannot thank Marissa enough! She made our event go as seemless as possible.

Highland Brewing was an amazing venue for our wedding! They were incredibly organized and helpful and made our day so special. It started pouring right before our ceremony but the rain plan was perfect and they still made the day wonderful! We really loved working with Nikki and her team.

We could probably right a short story about our beyond amazing experience with and at Highland Brewing for our wedding. It all began when my (now) husband and I were at Highland for a tour a couple years ago. We walked into the event space as they were setting up for a wedding and we instantly knew that the space was perfect. The main floor of the event space is naturally stunning. The wood accents on the walls, the touch of iron and metal in the space, the chalkboard beer menu, the huge stage, and the bridal SUITE. I’ll get to that in a minute. The mezzanine overlooks the main floor and wraps around beautifully; we chose to do our cocktail hour here for guests after the ceremony while we took photos and that was such a fabulous space to utilize. Move to the third floor and you have the rooftop bar where we had our ceremony, overlooking perfectly placed mountains as our background. Let me say that we barely decorated any of the event space….it was THAT gorgeous on its own. What sold us on Highland for our wedding was the vast amount of space and different types of roaming areas for our guests to move from one level to the next and finally to the main floor for our reception. Every floor served a different purpose and made for simple movement of the crowds while we took photos. During our 1.5 year engagement, Highland continued to add their own improvements (none were NEEDED but they just kept making the space more attractive) to the space. They added fun and simple hanging lights to the main floor, redid the sound boards on the stage, removed sound boards from the wall which allowed the wooden accents to shine and most importantly, they built a bridal suite. Let me tell you, this is where you and your bridesmaids or groomsmen want to be the final moments before you walk down the aisle. It’s private. It’s comfortable. It’s hidden. There’s access to a bathroom. It’s simply perfectly placed. Our wedding planner also had a plate of food and beers waiting for my husband and I immediately after the ceremony in the suite so we could take 15 minutes to ourselves and without this space, that would not have been possible. Our guests could not stop complimenting the space. The views, the outdoor feels, indoor beauty, and ample dance space provided for the perfect trio of wedding fun. Our main contact through the entire process was Nikki and we are forever indebted to her for her out of this world customer service. Nikki helped make our dreams come true. Admittedly, we had very specifics ideas of how we wanted the space to look and Nikki listened, so patiently, and executed beyond what we could have ever imagined. She is a saint and so very talented. Nikki answered almost every question we had on the spot and if she didn’t have the answer right then and there, she was in touch with us almost immediately to clarify. Her communication was second to none, her professionalism and spunky, fun demeanor truly helped make our wedding day the best day ever. My husband and I continue to say that we would relive that day any chance we could and we owe a great bit of that to Nikki. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that does not require a ton of décor but could be amplified would it, if preferred, look no further. The space can be transformed into whatever your style is but it’s also naturally so stunning; our guests were blown away that our “brewery wedding” was a top-notch venue. I promise you will not be disappointed with the customer service either.

Absolutely incredible!! The industrial atmosphere, the rooftop, the mountains, the string lights, the BEER! You will not regret it!! Our experience with Highland was amazing, they were wonderful to work with, and the event spaces met all of our needs and wants!

Highland was amazing. As a craft beer couple, it was the perfect venue for us. The event team was amazing, from Whitney who was so accommodating for us (including opening up the event space for us on a day the brewery was closed for snow, because we were in town for wedding planning), to the bartending team who made sure our guests were happy and we got the photos we loved. They even made SEVERAL upgrades in lighting and other stuff (brand new chairs!) in order to better serve weddings in the time between when we booked the venue and our wedding - saving us money in rentals and setting the scene for a great day! Our photographs turned out absolutely beautiful.

We got married at Highland Brewing Company this past September and the venue was just absolutely perfect. We had a destination wedding and honestly, the moment I saw the pictures, I knew Highland was the place. And it could not have been better! The rooftop is just gorgeous and was the ideal place to have our ceremony. We booked the event center and had our reception on the main level and the bar is just beautiful and makes for amazing decor itself. Plus all the beer on tap was superb! I just wish I had been able to drink more:) On top of that, the staff at Highland Brewing (from the event manager to the bartenders) is just top-notch. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

Used Highland's new event space for our wedding. We had the ceremony on the rooftop and our reception inside. The space was beautiful and led to a really industrial feel. I worked with a few different people over the year of planning our wedding and they were all wonderful and helpful, and very attentive to my 1000s of questions. My guests loved all of the beers they tapped for us. Truly amazing experience, I would definitely recommend using their space.

For several years, I have worked with Highland Brewing to host an event for Western Carolina University. Highland Brewing's facility has served as a wonderful venue for this event as the location, parking, and event space lends itself to a fun, easy-to-attend gathering. The crew at Highland has been easy to work with and are flexible to any changing needs. Oh, and the beer is great!

If you have a beer-friendly crowd who appreciates a rustic venue and a local business instead of a hotel ballroom, Highland is fantastic!
