I had my last minute wedding reception here and it was absolutely magical. The staff is wonderful and helpful and willing to answer any questions or try to figure out a way to make everything exactly what you want for your event. I contacted them only about a month before my date and they were so cool about it. No problem at all. The food was delicious and they gave me exactly what I wanted PLUS decorated my cake for me last minute as well, which looked amazing. The bartenders were great and they created a little mocktail menu for me. They have more than enough tables, chairs, and linens available for your use. The space is beautiful, elegant, and roomy and right in the heart of downtown Asheville so it has such a fun vibe to it. I 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place.

We host our annual awards banquet at this event space every year, and it continues to exceed our expectations in every way. The venue is always spotless, beautifully set up, and ready for us right on time. The staff is incredibly professional, attentive, and a true pleasure to work with—from planning to the final clean-up. Our guests consistently rave about the ambiance and how smoothly everything runs. It’s become a tradition we genuinely look forward to, thanks in large part to the top-notch experience this venue provides. Highly recommend for any special occasion or corporate event!

As a local nonprofit that has hosted multiple fundraising events at Ella Asheville, we have had nothing but positive experiences and cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Ella has consistently been generous, supportive, and professional every step of the way. Their team has gone out of their way to accommodate our events, and the level of communication and responsiveness we’ve received has been excellent — even when we’ve had last-minute questions or special requests. They truly treat every event, whether paid or donated, with care and respect. We have always felt like valued partners, not just “clients,” and their commitment to hospitality shines through every interaction.
