If you’re looking for a casual & fun wedding venue, Asheville is beloved for its many local breweries that make the perfect event space for a small wedding or elopement! To make it easy and avoid overwhelm, I’ve chosen to include the 2 absolute best breweries in Asheville for your elopement or micro-wedding.
Specifically the Asheville Forestry Camp Location! This is my personal favorite spot for a post-elopement dinner with a small group of friends and family. The outdoor patio is the perfect spot to gather with your loved ones and enjoy a beer after a hiking elopement on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
For larger groups, Highland Brewing is the place to go! They have an events team that is ready to create an amazing wedding celebration including a dinner, outdoor games, and reception for up to 80 guests! This is an experience that your guests will be talking about for years to come!
Breweries are a popular choice for casual & fun post-elopement celebrations! If you’d like to incorporate a brewery visit into your micro-wedding or elopement, here are a few ceremony location ideas that pair perfectly with an evening at one of Asheville’s best breweries:
For elopements with up to 10 guests | 1 hour drive on the parkway from Asheville
Black Balsam Knob is one of the most beautiful elopement locations near Asheville, North Carolina. Located off of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this trail takes you to high elevations with minimal hiking and provides a variety of scenery for your first look, elopement ceremony, portraits and vows.
Morgan & Drew started Day 2 of their elopement with a hike together at Black Balsam, and met their family for post-hike burgers & beer at Burial Forestry Camp Location to end their wedding weekend.
For micro-weddings with up to 30 guests | 45 minute drive from Asheville
Jump Off Rock is a mountain overlook located in Hendersonville, North Carolina, about 45 minutes from Asheville. The overlookâs iconic tall trees and mountain views in the distance create a beautiful backdrop for your small wedding ceremony. There is no hike, and a grassy area to set up chairs, making this a perfect spot for couples with a group of guests.
For elopements with up to 5 guests | 10-15 minute drive to most breweries
