Ella Asheville

Ella Asheville is a downtown venue for organisers planning weddings, corporate events and other gatherings. Set inside the historic Broadway Arts Building, the space combines original architectural details, including exposed brick, tin ceilings and hardwood floors, with an open layout that can be arranged to suit different occasions. A working fireplace adds character, while the central Asheville location puts hotels, restaurants, breweries and galleries within easy reach for guests.

The venue hosts wedding ceremonies and receptions, welcome parties, company celebrations, awards dinners, nonprofit galas, holiday parties and community events. Its flexible room can accommodate different formats, from a seated dinner or classroom arrangement to a cocktail reception or dance party. Capacity varies by layout, with space for up to 240 at a seated wedding reception and up to 299 for a dance party.

Venue rental includes tables and chairs, lounge furniture, standard linens, dinnerware, barware and event staffing. Ella's team can help organisers plan the layout and coordinate practical details, with a venue manager present on the event day. The venue is fully accessible, including its restrooms, and guests can use nearby street parking and public car parks.

Céline & Company is the in-house catering partner, offering customised menus for events. Organisers may also bring in another caterer. Ella has a built-in bar and provides bar packages, with alcoholic drinks served at the venue supplied through its licensed operation. Its historic setting, adaptable floor plan and included event essentials make it a practical option for planners seeking a characterful venue in central Asheville.
