The Crest Center & Pavilion

Set on Crest Mountain in Asheville, The Crest Center & Pavilion offers two event spaces with views across the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Crest Center has a warm lodge-inspired character, with a main hall, bar and lounge, stone fireplace, overlook deck, mezzanine and media room. The glass-enclosed Pavilion offers a different setting, with a terrace and space suited to larger gatherings. The venues can also be used together for events that need separate areas for a ceremony, reception or other programme elements.

The property welcomes couples planning ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners and wedding brunches, as well as organisations arranging business meetings, conferences, award dinners, fundraisers and banquets. The venue describes capacity for business events of up to 250 guests, with the wider grounds able to accommodate larger trade show and convention groups. Its spaces, facilities and event format can be discussed with the team when requesting a proposal.

Event planning support is available, with staff helping organisers coordinate details around their occasion. An in-house kitchen provides catering, with menus ranging from casual barbecue to formal multi-course meals, and options can be tailored to the event. Venue provisions include tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware and cutlery, while additional audiovisual equipment, staging and dance-floor arrangements can be requested. Wireless internet is available, and meeting organisers can arrange presentation equipment such as screens, projectors, microphones and a podium. The combination of indoor spaces, mountain scenery, catering and planning assistance makes the venue suitable for both personal celebrations and professional gatherings in the Asheville area.
