COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
AWARD WINNER (9X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Yesterday Spaces is a rustic and elegant wedding venue with mountain views, just 12 miles from downtown Asheville, North Carolina. This 70-acre working farm is deeply rooted in well over a hundred years of history, and our combination of event spaces and pastoral land makes for a wonderful country setting to create a memory and plan an experience for you and your guests. We would be honored to work with you to bring your ideas to life, on your very special day!
We include a variety of options to host each part of your event, including the magical “wedding path” carriage road to the Ceremony Field with its magnificent mountain views, the historic Dairy Barn for an indoor ceremony or pre-ceremony mingle, the Reception Hall as an elegant dinner and dancing space that opens onto two 60 foot decks and cocktail garden, the huge Event Field with its bonfire ring, and more!
When planning for an outdoor ceremony, it is especially important to have a rain backup. Many wedding planners have called our Dairy Barn “the best backup ceremony option of any venue in the Asheville area.”
Every wedding and reception has inclusive pricing that gives you access to our indoor and outdoor spaces, with rainplan backups, our extensive inventory of tables, chairs and one-of-a-kind antique furniture options, china and glassware, decor items, sound systems and more options, all for one price based on your guest count. This gives you the peace of mind that as your plans and ideas develop between now and wedding day, you can make new choices with us and adjust your event plan without increasing your cost.
Our staff manages parking and transportation onsite, and does all setup, breakdown, and any moving of our furniture during the event. Our ramps, door widths, and bathrooms are all ADA-compliant for wheelchair access. We’ll plan with you to make the best experience for anyone with mobility issues.
With so much available to you here, along with our expert advice and planning assistance, your wedding ideas will be easier to achieve, whether you are planning a luxury wedding, or an economic wedding with DIY choices to fit your budget.
Our 1911 Farmhouse is a separate, additional rental option for you or your families or other guests. With 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, the house can sleep up to 13 people. Renting the Farmhouse for multiple days can change a wedding from a “moment in time” into an even more wonderful and memorable period of time!

The best decision of our wedding day (other than picking each other to marry) was picking this venue. Yesterday Spaces went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our wedding day perfect. Along every step of the way, they did everything to make our wedding day perfect-their expertise was invaluable and helped make our day an absolute dream come true. They absolutely exceeded any expectations of a wedding venue and we can't recommend it enough! As just one example, when our wedding coordinator got sick the day before our wedding, Arik stepped in and ran our rehearsal. Arik went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. All of this assistance is on top of being a stunningly beautiful venue. It was one of the few venues that had equally beautiful indoor and outdoor areas, which was very important to us- in the case that it rained, we could move our outdoor ceremony indoors without any loss of beauty. We are still hearing about how beautiful our wedding was six months later. Yesterday Spaces is a family-owned business and you can definitely tell by how much they care about their couples. Overall, Yesterday Spaces is a dream venue and I cannot recommend it enough!

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience for our wedding day! From the moment we first visited Yesterday Spaces, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The staff was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive and made sure that every detail was taken care of. You can tell they love what they do. They also have excellent preferred vendors who have experience at the venue, and together they all helped the us in the planning process, which was as seamless as we could have hoped for!
The venue itself is absolutely stunning — the scenic mountain views at the top of the hill provided the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the barn was absolutely perfect for our reception, a perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm. There were a lot of beautiful places around the property to take photos, including a romantic tree swing, the long tree-covered walk from the hilltop to the barn, and many other spots.
Arik and the whole team were exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail was unmatched. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful and elegant the venue was, and we truly felt like we were in a dream the whole day.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, rustic charm, and a fantastic team, then definitely add Yesterday Spaces to your list. It was everything we could have hoped for and more!

Arik was a joy and delight to work with as we planned and hosted our daughter’s destination wedding at Yesterday Spaces. Arik is professional, courteous and very caring. YS is a as gorgeous mountain side location with incredible views and natural beauty. We had a joy filled day and gorgeous photos to cherish for a lifetime!

We recently had our daughter's wedding at Yesterday's Spaces and it truly exceeded all our hopes and expectations. Our daughter and her fiancee had a dream for a picturesque mountain "retreat" wedding and we were all delighted to find Yesterday's Spaces. The day, the scenery, and the overall experience could not have been better!
Arik and the whole YS team was such a delight to work with. They provided patient guidance and professional experience that made the planning and process so much easier. They also led us to a caterer, wedding planner, and other vendors that were equally delightful and experienced to work with. We got a sense that they truly entered into our joy and wanted to deliver a memorable experience for us in every way.
It was a one-of-a-kind event experience that did not disappoint and undoubtedly provided for everyone some amazing and precious memories of a lifetime!

When we visited Yesterday Spaces we knew right away that this is where we wanted to get married. This isn’t just an event space: this place is clearly loved and cherished by Arik and his team. The staff were integral to pulling off a huge wedding (250+ guests). They were excellent listeners and thoughtful and helped us create exactly the vibe we were trying to achieve. As an example, at one point in the planning process, Arik moved chairs around at the ceremony site and had us try them out to imagine what might be the best arrangement for our ceremony. We had a traditional Jewish wedding that had many moving parts and the physical space lended itself perfectly for our rituals. Our guests would not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and all of the thoughtful touches (handmade wooden tables, a fire pit for s’mores). Most special of all was how much space there was for our guests to relax and enjoy themselves. We had kids running around with babysitters, children petting donkeys, guests hanging out on picnic blankets, people playing corn hole and couples taking romantic walks. And to ease our worries, there were plenty of extra, covered areas ready for us, just in case of rain (though thankfully we did not need to). At the end of the evening as our guests were saying goodbye, we felt such gratitude for the care and attention that the Yesterday Spaces staff paid to us and our loved ones. Yesterday Spaces will always hold such a special place in our heart. We cannot recommend enough!

Yesterday Spaces did an amazing job with my wedding on 9/30/23. They coordinated everything I asked them to, and worked with me to create a new floorplan that I wanted. On the day of, they were professional and helped my coordinator out, they moved people around the property as necessary. We highly suggest Yesterday Spaces!!

My wife Sofia and I had the pleasure of getting married at Yesterday Spaces in April 2015. We're still going strong nearly nine years later, and we still get compliments from our guests that our wedding was the best they've ever attended. I believe our venue played a large role in that experience for our guests.
From the picturesque drive along Sluder Branch Rd. to the farm space, Yesterday Spaces is a dream venue for those looking for a rustic, scenic and private wedding.
Mike was such a pleasure to work with. We were sad to hear about his passing a year after we were married, but are happy that his son Arik and family have taken over the mantle.
One of the important aspects of Yesterday's Spaces that gave us peace of mind was the backup ceremony site -- the dairy barn -- in case of inclement weather. April weather can be unpredictable in the Blue Ridge. Fortunately, we were gifted with perfect weather, but knowing that we had options should Mother Nature not cooperate was reassuring.
Overall, we visited five venues in the Western North Carolina area, but Yesterday Spaces (our first visit) was the one we kept coming back to for a variety of reasons. Its proximity to Downtown Asheville (just 15 minutes or so) was key for our out-of-town guests. The sprawling property and farm animals was also important, since we had about 15 children at our wedding who were more than entertained.
Thank you Mike, Arik and family for helping make our day so special.

I got married at Yesterday Spaces this September and it was incredible! Arik and his team go above and beyond. The planning was thorough - meaning every detail and every back up plan had been considered and discussed which gave me a lot of piece of mind. I loved that we were able to use all spaces of the venue - the charming dairy barn with the really cool silo bar for welcome drinks, the event barn for dinner and dancing, and up the lovely carriage path to the ceremony site! Our guests spoke highly of the grounds and views. It felt like a lot of space without people being too spread out, which was perfect.
There was a 50% chance of rain during our ceremony, but we really wanted to get married outside. The folks at YS were incredibly accommodating and flexible, basically giving us time to make the final decision that very morning. I am so glad we chose to risk it and have the ceremony outside - the weather held out and we and our guests loved the lovely Mountain View. It did start to sprinkle right after the ceremony and Arik & team were on top of it, making sure our guests had umbrellas and safely and quickly made their way under the awning. Luckily the rain was brief and we enjoyed all of the amenities YS has to offer. The farm animals were adorable, our guests loved playing cornhole and the built in bars were perfect. The entire day went smoothly, and as a bride I was able to focus on having the best day of my life with my new husband, family and friends. This venue is so special and unique, I highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding in Asheville.

My wife and I quickly fell in love with Yesterday Spaces after touring with our parents and learning the history of the venue. Arik is such a personable guy and we enjoyed working with him throughout the process. We got married at the courthouse and then used Yesterday Spaces to throw a big party for our family and friends. We started with a cocktail party at the dairy barn/silo bar, transitioned to dinner and dancing in the main event space, and a bon fire in the field to wrap up the amazing day. It was a truly special day that we will never forget!

This venue is beautiful! Arik and his staff did a tremendous job with my daughter's wedding. The barn was rustic with all of the modern amenities including air conditioning which is crucial in the summer months. The outdoor space provided for a festive and fun cocktail hour. Everything went perfectly as planned. I would highly recommend Yesterday Spaces for a wedding or any other special event.

Everything about our daughter's wedding this past November was handled by Arik and his very professional staff in a first class manner. I cannot think of anything that did not come off exactly as planned. The mountain setting and venue were perfect. Every aspect of the celebration was done on time--event planning, parking, transportation to/from parking area, catering, bars, etc. It was all a seamless example of professionalism at work. We had so many responses from our family and friends about how well everything was handled. Additionally, we felt that the entire celebration(venue/vendors, etc)was a great value for the money. The venue, staff and vendors get many more than 5 stars from this extremely happy and satisfied client. In a word, it was a perfect day that my daughter and her new husband will always remember.

Yesterday Spaces is truly a GEM in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains! We worked with Arik and team for over one year to plan our Indian Fusion wedding and he made the process so much more enjoyable and helped to ensure our day was perfect! Arik is really passionate about what he does, and he really takes time to invest in the couples that chose to get married at YS, it really is such a special place. Leading up to the wedding, Arik spent so much time with us, planning, brainstorming, and getting to know us, so that when the wedding came, we felt confident that no matter what would happen, he and his team would be able to take care of it. We were not wrong - Arik and his team truly helped deliver one of the most exciting and beautiful days - despite some rain and last-minute pivoting (which they did such a great job at pivoting because our guest didn't even know we pivoted :)). One thing we loved (amongst a whole host of things) was how cozy and inviting the whole venue felt, from the welcome barn, to the lofted reception hall, to the ceremony site nestled in the trees - you truly feel like you are hidden away in a magical place, it is hard to explain but if you've had a wedding at YS, I am sure you know what I mean. Thank you to the whole YS team, especially Arik & Sheila...xo

Our son and daughter in law's wedding was held at Yesterday Spaces in March and we couldn't have asked for a better venue! Arik and his staff were so helpful and accommodating in every aspect. The venue was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. From the outdoor ceremony with the gorgeous backdrop to the amazing event space, everything was perfect.
We are so happy to have had this very special event in our lives at Yesterday Spaces, it was beyond our expectations!

I would give Yesterday Spaces a 100/5 star rating if I could.
My experience with Yesterday Spaces - as a bride planning her own 60+ guest wedding in 7 months - was absolutely exceptional. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue that is professional yet personal and heartfelt, flexible, communicative, and VERY well-versed in the orchestration of weddings I would 100% recommend Arik and his team at Yesterday Spaces.
First, the property is incredibly beautiful. If you're looking for a naturally rustic and picturesque venue near Asheville this is a perfect option. When you book with Yesterday Spaces, you get the use of the entire venue property which includes multiple ceremony space options as well as unique features for a reception. I was also blown away by how much the price of the venue includes. There's a whole room FULL of decorations that you can use (or totally not use!) free of charge. Matching mason jars and vases, wooden signs, cake stands, wooden centerpiece cutouts, and so much more. We used a lot of these decorations for our reception and it looked so good. These decorations would have cost us a fortune to gather on our own. The additional features offered by the venue, all explained in detail during our first tour, were the initial selling point. There is no venue within 100 miles that offers so much for such a great price.
Trust me, I've looked.
My experience planning the wedding was made easier by the staff at Yesterday Spaces. They are accommodating and flexible, not at all uptight about adjustments to ceremony or reception details. This attitude and confidence the staff displayed was extremely reassuring for me and my (at the time) fiance. We had never planned a wedding before and so sometimes didn't always know what to expect or anticipate. Working closely with Arik during an initial planning meeting and then our final planning meeting (all included in booking the venue, btw) was all we needed to feel excited and relaxed about our wedding day.
Yesterday Spaces brought our vision of love to life. I can so clearly remember Arik (the owner) standing high up on a ladder the day before the wedding, helping me to hang white drapes from the ceiling that would frame the dance floor. He was genuinely excited to see what it would look like because he hadn't seen it done before. I remember on the day of the wedding one of the staff members peeked into the house where my bridesmaids and I were staying to give us cute matching umbrellas so we stayed dry on the walk over to the ceremony barn. So many moments like this.
I didn't know to ask for the attention to detail and the professional, kind & genuine assistance Arik and his team gave us but we received it anyway. That's honestly just what you get with Yesterday Spaces and I am so grateful to have gotten married there. It was the best day of my entire life and I'll never forget it.

We had our daughter’s wedding at Yesterday’s Spaces, couldn’t be more pleased with the facilities ( especially the dairy barn) , the staff and their help with finding vendors who had worked weddings at their facilities before. From start to finish they went above and beyond to help make it the perfect day for the wedding and reception. While there are always bumps in the road , we’re trilled with how things came together from a truly special day. Highly recommend them for your consideration as your wedding destination.

Unfortunately, I am leaving a 1 star review simply because of lack of communication. My husband and I got married at the the venue late May of this year! We loved the view of the venue and accommodations, but sadly we still have not received our security deposit checks back for the venue and farmhouse after we were told that we would receive it. It has been a month since that last conversation via text message. My husband and I have reached out since then via text message, email and phone calls and still nothing. Our hands are tied because we can not find any other way to reach out where we would get some answers as to whether they were mailed or just got lost in the mail transit to CLT.
It is very frustrating because our wedding day was beautiful and wonderfully an amazing experience and just to have to deal with the aftermath of “hunting down” someone to even respond to us is unprofessional.

(We've now hired a full-time Communications Manager, so that we won't have delays like this in the future.) It was really wonderful to host your wedding here. I loved your creative design of the reception for your wedding party seating, and I especially valued how you and Coite included Ella in the ceremony. Congratulations again!

When my husband and I first toured this venue, we fell in love with it at first sight (even in December when it was cold and the trees were bare).
We got married May 2022 and it was an absolute dream. We had our ceremony outside with the mountain view and our reception in the barn. Our wedding day was planned and set up to perfection. Communication could have been a little better leading up to our wedding, but everything worked out perfectly. Everyone loved the trees leading into the ceremony space and the front porch outside of the reception hall with the rocking chairs. It was just the best place to get married in Asheville and incredibly magical!!!!

I can’t believe what a magical property yesterday spaces was. Arik and his team were so wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating. We were married February of this year and it was just a magnificent day. Although at first we thought we had wanted an outside ceremony we decided the morning of the wedding it would be best to keep our guest warm and have our ceremony inside the dairy barn. I will NEVER regret that decision. It was so cozy and romantic, and again Arik and our planner made this change so seamless. I would recommend this venue to anyone, it truly made our day unforgettable. Make sure to take pictures on the beautiful tree swing and the carriage row. The property was breathtaking.

Yesterday Spaces was great for our wedding and reception! We planned from 8 hours away, and Arik gave us multiple video tours of the space before we booked to make sure all of our questions were answered. The ceremony space(s) are beautiful, and they have a great backup option in case of rain - aka no needing to flip the reception space in case of weather. We also rented the farmhouse for the girls to get ready, and that worked out pretty well. The guys semi got ready underneath the barn, which isn't air conditioned btw, so they should arrive mostly ready. The venue provides almost all of the plates, glasses, silverware, etc. We only had to get glasses for our signature cocktails. They also have TONS of decorations/signage that you can use, so that cuts down on lots of costs as well. They were great at organization with our coordinator, and we had no issues (that I knew of) day of. They also sent a REALLY long list of preferred vendors when we were planning, which was super helpful, especially planning from so far away. Also they have cute farm animals, which never hurts and our guests loved.

We had our COVID wedding here and it was perfect! Despite NC being strict on their regulations, we were still able to have the perfect wedding day! Arik and Meg are two of the best people, so friendly and communicate really well! We made a few last minute changes, and they were really flexible! They made our day perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything more! Our favorite part was the bonfire they made for us. It was the hot spot towards the end of the wedding, and having everyone around to celebrate us on their beautiful property made it the best day ever. Highly recommend getting married here! Great people, beautiful location and friendly animals!

As a wedding coordinator, I had the privilege to work with Arik and his staff this Labor Day weekend at Yesterday Spaces. The venue was beautiful. In addition to plenty of outdoor spaces, there is a large well appointed, air conditioned modern barn with a spotless kitchen and bathrooms, a great sound system, plenty of tables and chairs as well as assorted decoration items if needed. There is also a fantastic bonfire area, which the staff prepared for our event and it was the perfect ending to the night. But the most outstanding part of the Yesterday Spaces was working with Arik and his staff. Arik is not only very organized and detail oriented but he was also so kind and an absolute delight to work with and was available throughout our event to assist us as needed. Definitely a five star!

Arik and Team at Yesterday Spaces are awesome to work with and the venue is gorgeous. The farm and surrounding rolling hills speak western North Carolina with the benefit of being not far from Asheville. From guests being brought up to the barn on a tractor wagon, to a lovely barn space that invites easy traffic whether inside or out, to an evening capped off with a giant evening fire to let it all soak in, it's a day to remember. The coordination with the flowers, food, music, and transportation were all seamless and easy. All and all, great people, great place, and a fantastic time. No doubt we ended up in the right spot, and I think the guests would agree. Thanks Arik & Team!

We chose Yesterday Spaces in spring 2019 to host our wedding at in March 2020. Unlike other possible venues, which didn't include things like rentals, YS was all-inclusive. It was also stunning, yet not over-the-top. Two weeks before our planned date, COVID arrived in the U.S., grinding everything to a screeching halt. With guests coming from the West Coast and England, we knew we needed to postpone. Not knowing how the virus would take shape, we rescheduled to June 2020 and about a month before, realized that, also, wasn't going to happen, so moved everything, for a second time, to August 2021. Arik and the staff at YS were incredibly receptive and gracious, working with us to find a date that would work for not only the rental of the event barn but the farmhouse and dairy barn as well. During a time that should have felt stressful, Arik went out of his way to let us know that no matter what, we'd make the wedding we envisioned come to life...whenever that might be. As ours is a destination wedding, I've yet to actually see Yesterday Spaces in person, but I know that when I do, there will be so much more to celebrate than just our wedding. And we cannot wait for that day!

As soon as we went to yesterday spaces we knew it was the venue for us. Arik was actually the only person that we toured with that asked how we met and genuinely wanted to get to know us. He took his time with us to show us the entire space and how we had access to everything we could ever want. I LOVE animals and the fact there are cows, donkeys and goats just made the decision even easier. Arik is very quick to respond and always has a solution. He gives so many recommendations for vendors that it takes A LOT of stress off trying to plan the perfect day! The venue price is seriously so reasonable and he doesn’t try to nickel and dime you over little things. The price is the price and that’s it! Seriously yesterday spaces is the easiest best decision we ever made!

Arik and the team at Yesterday Spaces went all out to make sure that our wedding was perfect! We loved the outdoor ceremony space, the beautiful mountain scenery, and the bonfire in the field. Arik worked with us at every step of the way to make sure that we could figure out how to do everything we wanted to do, despite all the restrictions imposed on us by the state's COVID regulations. The goats and mini-donkeys were a real highlight for our nieces and nephews (and our wedding photographer!). Thank you so much for making our big day such an easy and wonderful experience!

I totally forgot to write a review after my wedding, but I'm still thinking about how wonderful it was a year and a half later. We got married over Memorial Day weekend 2018 and had a lot of friends and family traveling in from out of town, including ourselves. Being on a budget and planning the wedding from afar, I really wanted a venue that was nice to work with and offered a lot of the decor and small features that might slip through the cracks since I wasn't able to be local, and Yesterday Spaces really worked out for us. We toured 5-10 venues and had no hesitation about booking this one. We had massive rain on the first half of our wedding day, that kind of hot early summer storm, but we had already decided to use the Dairy Barn as our ceremony spot-not just in case of rain, but because it's SO beautiful. We had a pre-ceremony cocktail bar set up in the silo, and the tractor/bus service up to the main event hall was so great afterwards. Arik was super communicative the whole lead-up to the wedding and was even present the day of, and I couldn't say enough nice things about him.
tl;dr: I definitely recommend having your wedding here—Gorgeous anytime of year, incredible rain contingency ceremony spot, beautiful details and use of a huge store of decorations, and great to work with.

Hi Chelsea, congrats to you and David on a year and a half of marriage! When you are back ...

Yesterday Spaces was the perfect venue site! We originally planned for about 150 out of town guests and wanted them to be able to get a great Asheville experience. While YS is a little outside of the downtown area, it was still convenient and worth the location!! The indoor reception center and the outdoor ceremony site are beautiful. We were thankful to have a rain shower for only 20mins during the reception. There is an indoor ceremony site you can use if weather won’t allow a ceremony outside. They have a lot of things included with the wedding package- more so than the other (many many) venues that we had checked out. They also have a ton of decor stocked up that is no extra charge which helped a lot when it came to saving elsewhere in our budget. You have free range the day of (outside of the fenced-in areas), so we got some awesome photos all around at all times of the day. The lower level of the reception building was used as a hangout area the grooms-people (groomsmen and bridesmen) before the wedding party photos. The reception building is tastefully decorated to begin with which made our decorating needs minimal. The space has A/C! There is a getting ready space for the ladies which we used and really enjoyed having! There is a separate Farmhouse on the land that some of our family members rented out which was very convenient. The owner, Arik, was an absolute dream to work with. He was extremely available every step of the way with our planning and allowed us to schedule visits several times prior to the big day to take a look around and plan the details. He’s accommodating with most requests, he doesn’t allow artificial flowers, sparklers, and several other items to prevent harm to the animals and the land. Arik is a sound engineer and has installed an impressive sound system within the reception building and a couple of speakers for the outdoor ceremony site. Your DJ should be able to just plug into the system the reception building has. We could not have picked a better venue all around!!!! Thank you! Chris & Kelly

My husband and I got married at Yesterday Spaces the last weekend of October and we are still floating on a cloud of joy from the entire experience, start to finish. I lost track of how many guests told us that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to and once you see the gorgeous natural backdrop of the ceremony space and the rustic yet elegant reception barn, you are sure to agree.
The owners, Arik and Rene, were professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Every wedding vendor we hired expressed their enthusiasm for working at Yesterday Spaces and were more than happy to have the chance to go back. Arik answered every question I had in the year leading up to our wedding and put me at ease during the whole process.
We also appreciated that Yesterday Spaces offers a lovely inclement weather option for the ceremony. Although we didn’t have to make use of it ourselves, it was comforting to know that a unique indoor setting was available to us that was completely separate from the reception space.
We are so happy with our experience at Yesterday Spaces and can’t imagine a better choice for our wedding day.

The best thing about Yesterday Spaces for a wedding reception is everything! My niece had her wedding here in September and I was involved in the decor and planning.
Arik is superb in his vocation and a delight to work with. His recommendations are spot on, he is punctual, and the facility is beautiful and spotless.
Without hesitation I would give more than 5 stars if possible!

Yesterday Spaces was the first venue my fiancee and I visited, and we didn't go to another. Arik obviously cares deeply for the space and his clients, and it shows. He spent hours with us preparing, walking the venue, etc. He's not a "sales guy" and I appreciate that.
One example - On our actual wedding day, it rained. Everyone around us was freaking out, but since we knew we could transition to the dairy barn, it wasn't stressful whatsoever. Hopefully I don't have to get married again, but if I do, I'd do it at Yesterday Spaces.

We could write pages about how wonderful it was to work with Arik, Renee, and the team at Yesterday Spaces, but here is our condensed version. From the minute we saw the property at YS and met Arik and Renee, we were extremely impressed. What an incredibly gorgeous spot and venue! We greatly appreciated their professional yet relaxed manner, flexibility, and willingness to do whatever they could to make our wedding day what we hoped it would be. Arik was patient with us and graciously responded to our many emails and texts over the months preceding the wedding. He listened carefully to our thoughts and offered numerous excellent suggestions yet was never presumptuous. On the day of the wedding, his demeanor was calm and cool but very efficient. His whole team was organized, knew exactly what to do, and did it. They worked well with the vendors involved and were so kind and courteous to all of our guests. We highly recommend Yesterday Spaces for your wedding or other special event. With thanks, the Frink and Stout Families

My husband and I were familiar with Yesterday Spaces from a beer pairing dinner they hosted and from that point on we were immediately enamored with the Dairy Barn. We knew we had to be married there when the time came. From the very first visit with Arik to the day after our wedding, we have been blown away with hospitality and care shown to us. Arik and his family are so attentive to detail and are extremely helpful with planning including all of the amenities included with the price as well as lists of vendors familiar with their space. By the wedding night, I felt like Arik and the staff was family! You will not be disappointed with Yesterday Spaces. We thank you Arik and family for the amazing wedding your space and work gave us! We are forever grateful!

My husband and I went to several other venues within the Asheville area before we found Yesterday Spaces. As soon as we started the tour, I knew this was the venue for us. There is SO MUCH included, it is almost hard to walk away from. Starting with the beautiful dairy barn, up to the reception barn and the gorgeous outdoor ceremony site. They also provide a closet full of decor that is at your fingertips. The staff at Yesterday Spaces were amazing as well. Arik was so accommodating throughout the process. I had about 3 different tours to allow different people to see the venue prior to the wedding. We also stayed in the farmhouse on site, which was great and super convenient! We had the most magical wedding and it would not have been possible without Yesterday Spaces!

Yesterday Spaces was the last venue we visited and we knew immediately this was THE place. We had less than 10 months to plan the wedding but Arik had a list of recommended vendors so we felt at ease and comfortable throughout the planning process.
We loved the outdoor ceremony space as well as the reception area. The dairy barn was our backup plan in case of rain. Well, it did rain and the barn brought our 235 guests together for the most gorgeous and intimate wedding we could have ever imagined for our daughter. We had a fabulous party following the ceremony that our family and friends are still talking about.
Arik and his staff were very professional. Our questions were always answered promptly and they took care of all our needs. We would highly recommend this venue.

I could go on and on about how absolutely perfect Yesterday Spaces was for our wedding a couple weeks ago. As soon as we visited last October we knew immediately that it would be the perfect setting for our wedding, and between the beauty of the the space and the excellent experience we had working with Arik, it truly couldn’t have been better. Arik is so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and he made the whole experience so much less stressful! And the space, ughhh, it’s just beautiful! The outdoor ceremony space is lovely, and the event barn is gorgeous, rustic but elegant and super clean. Like I said, I could go on and on. We are beyond happy that we chose Yesterday Spaces for our wedding!

Arik and his sister, Renae, went above and beyond to make our wedding special! We couldn’t be more happy with with our decision to have our wedding at Yesterday Spaces. Arik was always quick to respond, and thorough with communications over the course of our year long planning. He made it feel important that our day was special, how we wanted it, and well planned. Very knowledgeable, patient, and kind family that run this venue, they did their absolute best to accommodate everyone. We had so many of our guests come up to us and say the venue was absolutely beautiful, which it IS, and that everyone had a great time. We highly recommend Yesterday Spaces! You will not be disappointed :)

My wife and I got married almost a year ago at Yesterday Spaces. Why it took so long to write a review? I don't know but it was everything we could have hoped for and then some. Arik is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He was extremely helpful along the way. He has so much available to be used but doesn't pressure you into anything. The wedding turned out amazing and I think about our wedding daily. The avenue of oaks is so pretty and every spot on the premise is well maintained. The wedding venue is not cheesy or over the top on the whole barn thing. They let the gorgeous property do the work. The laid back atmosphere is perfect for an outdoor wedding.
Our wedding night had a lot going on but I remember seeing Arik for the first time (he was running around behind the scenes) around 8-9 and he was smiling big and could tell it meant a lot to him as well that the wedding turned out great. He was moving tables to make the dance floor bigger. I can't say enough about how great this venue was for our wedding.

My husband and I were married at Yesterday Spaces this past fall and it was a dream! We are so grateful to have found this wonderful venue for our wedding. It was the perfect setting for our woodsy, romantic ceremony. The tree-lined path was my favorite spot on the entire property! We had our ceremony outside with a beautiful view of the mountains, which was absolute perfection. Our reception was held in the big wooden hall that was set up so beautifully. Our guests absolutely loved this venue! We received so many compliments saying it was one of the best wedding venues they've been to.
I am so thankful for Arik, the venue manager, who was extremely accommodating and so kind to us, our familiars and all of our vendors. The staff at Yesterday Spaces are professional and helpful. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day because they had it covered. I really appreciated Arik's willingness to work with me and my planner since I was planning my wedding from out of town. He always made time to talk with us, answer our questions and help provide solutions to make our vision come to life.
I highly recommend Yesterday Spaces! I couldn't image a more perfect place for a wedding 😊

We cannot say enough about Yesterday Spaces and Arik! The venue is so well set up for almost anything you can dream up! Arik is amazing to work with, helping us as couple to create out own dream wedding. Arik's staff on the day of the wedding was helpful in making sure everything was set up and moved along smoothly. Anything we needed, they helped with immediately. The venue was flexible with helping us plan, visit and set up. We were able to be creative and give our guests an amazing experience with some of the most beautiful backdrops that WNC offers, from a 1900s diary barn to a long range view of Mount Pisgah, Yesterday Spaces is picturesque in every way. As an LGBT couple, we felt welcomed and treated as though any other couple would have been. We are raving fans of Yesterday Spaces!

After photographing a gorgeous wedding at Yesterday Spaces back in 2012, I knew someday I wanted to tie the knot at this magical place and I am so happy this dream came true! Yesterday Spaces is not only something out of a dream with beautiful mountain views all around, a gorgeous tree lined wedding path and beautiful big old trees surrounding the "marrying field" at the top of the little hill, but Arik and his staff treat you like family and work so incredibly hard to ensure your day is the happiest and most magical day you could've imagined. Every step of the way, Arik was so detailed oriented, listened exactly to our vision and then made our dreams come true! We don't have enough words to adequately express how grateful we are that he opened his family's farm so that couples like us could create memories we will never forget. Thank you to Arik and his family and to all the staff at Yesterday Spaces who worked so hard to make everything so perfect! We truly will never forget it and feel so excited and happy for every other couple that has the chance to take such a huge life step on your family farm. Best Wishes and we definitely hope to come back for visits in the future! Cheers! Bird & Bear Coly (Wedding: October 13, 2018)

Choosing Yesterday Spaces was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. The space itself is beautiful, from the field where we had the ceremony with a view of the mountains, to the covered back porch, to the bonfire under the stars. It also gave us great peace of mind knowing that there was a lovely indoors option for the ceremony in case of rain.
Arik was a joy to work with - not only punctual and organized, but also going above and beyond to think creatively with us about ways to use the space. Multiple of our guests commented on how nice everyone at Yesterday Spaces was and how kind and at-home Arik made them feel. We 100% endorse Yesterday Spaces and recommend them for other couples!

When we first visited Yesterday Spaces, my fiance and I immediately felt like this is a venue where we could truly relax and enjoy our wedding. From the first tour to the end of the reception, Arik was absolutely phenomenal to work with. It is obvious that he really enjoys hosting weddings at his venue and he makes it his personal responsibility to make sure that things are perfect. He was a clear communicator and did a fantastic job, even when we threw some curve balls at him. The venue itself is gorgeous: there are multiple sites for ceremonies of various sizes and we were able to very comfortably fit 100 guests on a hillside overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains - it couldn't have been more beautiful. The reception space is very conveniently located and has all necessary amenities onsite (like two full catering kitchens, bathrooms, high-quality sound system, and two spacious porches with rocking chairs and bars). We had a buffet setup and had plenty of room to set up a dance floor as well. There are amazing details in the space: handmade oak tabletops, antique furniture that fits the rustic vibe of the venue, and tasteful place settings.
Honestly, we can't give YS enough praise. Arik made planning a wedding at his venue as easy as it possibly could have been, and our wedding day couldn't have been more lovely!

Yesterday Spaces was fantastic. Arik was great to work with and was personally invested in making our day perfect. He was easy to get a hold of during the planning process and on the day of, was present to make sure everything went well. The space is gorgeous, with amazing views and rolling hills if you choose the outdoor wedding area. The dairy barn is a cool, unique space, that is well maintained and decorated for a more rustic event. The main "barn" is very nice inside and has awesome porches with those aforementioned views. Asheville is a such a beautiful place and Yesterday Spaces captures all of that natural beauty.

We held the rehearsal dinner in the Dairy Barn at Yesterday Spaces and the atmosphere was perfect! Lanterns with lights and floral arrangements on top of wooden slabs(provided by the venue) added to the beauty of the natural barn setting. The lights and hanging dried leaves above complimented the centerpieces. There was a real sense of fellowship and "family gathering". Thank you, Yesterday Spaces, for making the rehearsal dinner as memorable and special as the wedding reception( up in the main Barn). -"MOG" (Mother Of the Groom).

Yesterday Spaces made our day perfect! It has the outdoor, laid back, almost vintage feel to it with also being modern enough to have mics outside for the ceremony and great equipment for our DJ. It was truly a luxury to also be able to stay in their house on the property and be able to simply walk to and from the venue spaces. They have rain back ups, tons of decor, and the price is great for the Asheville area! Arik was also helpful throughout the whole process, you could tell he really cared about our day and wanted to make it beautiful for us - which he did!

Yesterday Spaces was the perfect venue for our September barnyard boho-themed wedding. We knew we wanted outdoor beauty and also wanted our families to feel comfortable. This venue hit the mark perfectly. Arik was super professional and so easy to work with. We really wanted to use all the amazing space at this venue and we did. We had an amazing cocktail hour on the porch of the event space, followed by a silent disco ceremony walking the beautiful carriage path up the hill to dancing with a view. We loved the event barn for dinner + more dancing, and it fit our crowd of about 110 very comfortably. We turned the front bar into a coffee bar for desserts. And we even had a bonfire at the end of the night, which was such a special way to end our celebration. My only advice is book early! This space has it all.

Our wedding at Yesterday Spaces was absolutely perfect. Arik, Renee and everyone we worked with were amazing. We had a fairly large wedding (190 guests attended, invited 350!), and the space was perfect. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Dairy Barn the Friday before, our ceremony in the upper field, and our reception in the event barn. Our guests loved the space for lawn games, the animals, and tractor rides up from the parking lot. Everything about this property is exceptional - it's beautiful, well-maintained, and run by people who really care about making your day perfect. Would HIGHLY recommend Yesterday Spaces!
