What is the average cost of a wedding venue in Asheville?
The average cost of a wedding venue in Asheville, NC is about $7000. While this does sound like a lot of money, some venues do include tables, chairs, dinnerware, etc. Always make sure to ask the venue exactly what they include in their rentals & if anything is an additional cost (such as a tent setup, fire pits, stand up heaters, etc.)
When Is the best time of year to get married in Asheville?
I’m definitely biased but I would have to say autumn! It’s the busiest season for weddings for a reason! The colors are stunning & the weather is usually dry & mild. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful spring wedding! I would avoid the months of Dec-March as well as July & August. It’s too cold in the winter and early spring so your photos will mostly be indoors and in the heat of the summer it’s too hot to go outside.
