WHAT MAKES MAPLE GROVE DIFFERENT
Planning a wedding in Asheville often means choosing between the convenience of the city and a long drive to get great scenery.
At Maple Grove, you don’t have to choose between them.
Close to Downtown Asheville
Located just minutes from downtown, your guests stay near hotels, restaurants, and everything Asheville offers—without complicated transportation.
Designed for Intimate Weddings (20–50 Guests)
Unlike large venues built for 100+ guests, our space is intentionally scaled for smaller celebrations—so your wedding feels personal, intimate, not oversized.
A True Outdoor Wedding Experience
Multiple ceremony sites allow you to choose the setting that fits your vision, all surrounded by natural beauty and privacy.
Simple, All-Inclusive Packages
We’ve streamlined the process so you can spend less time planning logistics and more time enjoying your wedding.
CEREMONY SPACES
Every couple is different—your ceremony should be too.
At Maple Grove, you’ll have access to multiple outdoor ceremony locations, each offering a distinct atmosphere while maintaining the same peaceful, natural setting.
Every ceremony space was designed by a photographer to create a seamless, beautifully captured wedding experience.
Whether you’re envisioning something romantic, relaxed, or nature-forward, your ceremony will feel intentional—not like an afterthought.
BUILT FOR MICRO WEDDINGS
Large venues can feel empty with a small guest list.
Maple Grove was created specifically for weddings of 20–50 guests, giving you:
- A space that feels full and connected
- More time with the people who matter most
- A relaxed, meaningful experience instead of a production
Micro weddings aren’t a compromise—they’re a better way to celebrate.
HOW WE COMPARE TO OTHER ASHEVILLE WEDDING VENUES
Choosing a venue in Asheville can be overwhelming. Most fall into one of three categories:
Downtown Venues
Convenient, but often limited in outdoor space and privacy.
Mountain Venues
Beautiful, but typically 20–60 minutes away with added logistics for guests.
Public Outdoor Spaces
Scenic, but lack privacy and full wedding setup.
Maple Grove offers a rare combination:
- Beautiful outdoor setting
- Private venue
- Designed for micro weddings
- Just 2 miles from downtown
ALL-INCLUSIVE, WITHOUT THE OVERWHELM
Planning a wedding shouldn’t feel like managing 10 – 15 different vendors.
Our all-inclusive approach keeps things simple while still allowing flexibility.
What you get:
- Ceremony + reception space
- Essential rentals
- Setup and breakdown
- Coordination support
Everything is designed to reduce stress—without sacrificing experience.
