Highland Brewing Company

o was so helpful along the way!

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!

r 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

nd 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!

en 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!

quently 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!

nators 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.

dibly 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!

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.

swering 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!

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.

y, 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!!!

ve 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!

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!!!

as 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!

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!

y and cocktail hour, and the event space provided a great space for dinner and dancing the night away.

lled with how our wedding turned out!

blast and are so happy we ended up choosing this venue for our special day. I highly recommend this place!

uldn't ask for more. If you're looking getting married in Asheville, do it at Highland!

emic 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.

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!

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.

ure our big day went off without a hitch. I can't recommend this venue enough!

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!

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!!

es 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.

We really loved working with Nikki and her team.

hey 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.

our needs and wants!

se 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.

! 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!

g 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.

, 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!
