You’re getting married! And planning a micro-wedding? A minimony? Whatever you want to call it, micro-weddings are very much the low-stress way to celebrate. With a smaller guest count, that often means significantly less details to work through, more options for cool off-the-beaten-path locations and a greater focus on what really matters…you two fully enjoying your wedding day!

So, you’ve narrowed down your location to the greater Asheville area. Heck yes! But now, you’re looking to find a venue that really fits your vision for the big day. And not just any venue, something totally unique.

Ok, this is the fun part! Check out this list of 7 unique venue ideas for your Asheville micro-wedding…

1. A Brewery

Asheville is super well known for its brewery scene, so what better way to celebrate on your wedding day!? There are so many brewery options with awesome vibes and included perks specifically for events. Here are a few favorites that host weddings & elopements:

2. A Treehouse

Yes, a treehouse! This is such a cool option for celebrations under 20 people. Take a peek at JuneBug Retro Resort’s treehouse option for wedding receptions. Imagine saying your vows at a gorgeous mountain location, and then heading over to the treehouse to dine with your family & friends in the trees under strung bistro lights. A dream!

3. A Glamping Elopement

Staying on the theme of unique buildings and retro vibes, let’s talk Asheville Glamping. Dome tents, retro RVs, even their very own treehouse. This location does limit elopements to 6 people maximum, but it is a perfect option for couples planning to elope essentially on their own with maybe just a few other guests.

4. An Airbnb / Rental Property

Take “backyard” weddings to a new level with a unique rental property!

Yonder Luxury Rentals even has a page of properties that specifically allow events - how awesome is that? Some have epic mountain views, a lakeside setting, etc.

This luxury property has its own waterfall on the grounds!

This cabin and mountain view property offers expansive views and a peaceful, secluded setting for your celebration.

5. A Cool Restaurant

Mix incredible food with an awesome atmosphere and you have the perfect venue! Here are two favorites with completely different vibes:

6. A Flower Farm

Flower fields with panoramic mountain views in the background? Yes please. You can get married right at a flower farm for an insanely dreamy wedding day setting. Check out The Never Ending Flower Farm for elopements & micro-weddings up to 30 guests.

7. A Quaint Bookshop

Looking for something super niche? Love that cozy library & bookshop feel? The Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar would be an amazing small reception space. Pop some champagne and dine with up to 125 guests at tables tucked away within the endless bookshelves.

Bonus:

A charming downtown micro-wedding venue! With both outdoor & indoor (totally private) event space, Reverie is an amazing blank canvas for your Asheville celebration of under 50 guests.
