    Perfect venue run by great people

    We're so happy we held our wedding at Crest Pavilion. The entire Crest team was amazing to work with, the venue is gorgeous, catering and bar went perfect, and the Crest team made sure it all came together as promised. Highly recommend

    Best venue, best team, best day!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better day or team than the Crest Center. From the time we looked at the gorgeous venue over a year ago we knew it was the one for us, and every month since then the amazing team have answered every question and provided so much support. We truly had the best day of our lives and wouldn’t have changed a thing! Special shoutout to Amy, Molly, and Cloie ❤️

    The Crest Center is so skilled at what they do

    We had an awesome experience with the Crest Center. They made the whole process so easy from planning details 6 months out down to the day of order of events. We did not have a planner because I am Type A and enjoy planning but also because crest center has day of attendants. We had two since we had a large bridal party and they guided us with anything we needed help with. The venue was beautiful all by itself so we chose to keep the florals and decor on the minimal side.

    Absolutely Perfect

    The Crest Center and Pavilion is the perfect venue! The facilities are absolutely stunning and the team there is SO helpful. They truly do everything in their ability to make your wedding dreams come true. Their knowledge and experience is unparalleled. Cloie, Amy, and Molly were always so reachable during the planning process and they were always more than happy to answer any questions or help brainstorm ideas. They have their wedding day timeline down to a science, so you can rest easy on your special day. Leslie was our day of attendant and she was so helpful and adaptable with coordinating the rehearsal and the day of. Everyone in our wedding party mentioned how amazing she was. The food, drinks, and service team were absolutely incredible. I would truly recommend this venue to anyone considering it. It was the perfect experience!

    Beautiful Venue and Amazing Staff

    The Crest Center really delivered for our wedding. I can't believe how easy they were to work with, and I am so grateful for their whole team. Our guest count fluctuated a LOT in the last week before the wedding, details just kept changing on our end, and so many things felt like they were up in the air, but the Crest Center staff, especially Cloie, just rolled with it. They were all so flexible, friendly, helpful, and kind. I think the beauty of the venue speaks for itself. We barely had to decorate because it's so beautiful on its own. I will treasure the pictures we captured there forever. The food was delicious (everyone raved about the delicious chicken!), and the drinks were great. The serving staff was friendly, and everything was better than I could have imagined. Thank you, Crest Center and Pavilion for making our wedding day perfect.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Our amazing wedding ceremony on October 6th. took place on the deck at The Crest Center, with the beautiful views as our backdrop. Everything about this venue is incredible. The sales assistants and manager were a delight to work with as we planned our big day. They helped us every step of the way. Our wedding attendant, Fasetta, was absolutely amazing. She made sure that everything went perfectly. After the ceremony she was right there to get us drinks and anything else we needed as. During the reception she brought us food, which was delicious. After hours of dancing, I got a blister. Fasetta was right there doctering me up. The kitchen staff, servers, and bartenders went above and beyond to accommodate our guests. We are truly grateful for everyone at The Crest Center and Pavillion.

    I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Everything was absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for anything more.

    Beautiful venue, excellent food, great staff. Highly Recommend!

    The Crest Pavilion is an absolutely beautiful venue with excellent staff. Our guests spoke highly of the food and beautiful scenery. Thanks to Tammy, Cloie, and the team's hard work everything ran smoothly. You can tell they do this all the time which helped us a lot as we decided to forgo a wedding planner. Extremely professional and organized. Highly recommend The Crest for a wedding.

    The wedding of our dreams

    The Crest Center was the perfect place to get married -- we knew that the day we toured it for the first time, and it was only confirmed through the process and on our wedding night. My husband and I planned our wedding without a professional planner, and the Lashers were so helpful with suggestions from their experience and vendors they frequently work with, for example. We had our dream mountain wedding at the most beautiful venue we've ever seen, and that was only highlighted by a flawless event and the staff who made that happen. I can't speak highly enough of the Crest Center, M7, and the Lashers! (Photos from Kaytelyn Hice at K. Hice Photography)

    Perfection!

    My daughter's wedding was exactly as I had hoped and dreamed it would be. The ladies who work there are incredibly helpful, patient and provide top quality service. We could not have asked for a better experience. I could not sleep that night as I was on such a high, thinking about how perfect it was!

    A Beautiful Wedding

    I am the father of a bride who was maried at Crest Center on June 10. The wedding exceeded expectations in all regards: the beauty of the venue, the quality of the food, the professionalism of the staff. The wedding was a wonderful event that will be a treasured memory for my family and everyone who attended.

    Magical Wedding Day

    The Crest center was an amazing venue and made sure to help us have a magical day. Molly Lasher was the best wedding coordinator I could have asked for. She was very attentive and helped me every step of the way. Even with the rain the venue was gorgeous, full Mountain View’s and an unforgettable beautiful wedding day! Would recommend anyone to get married at the crest center!

    Perfect from start to finish! A dream team, dream setting, and dream wedding!

    I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was from start to finish with this team! The entire group was responsive, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had our dream wedding while planning from afar! We had our wedding in the rain and it was beautiful. The team was down to power through outside for the ceremony and then make sure guests were extra happy when they got inside the pavilion to the gorgeous setting! We had compliments from everyone on the food and the service. This wedding blew my wildest dreams out of the water! My husband and I can’t stop reliving the day and expressing our sincere thanks to the entire crest/M7 team! I would recommend 1000000/10!

    Made my dreams come true!

    The Crest Center was an absolute dream come true for us! We booked one year out, and they were responsive the entire way through. The fact that they can handle majority of the wedding including the DJ, Food and Beverage, linens and all-around amazing atmosphere was truly such a weight off our shoulders. The location itself is stunning on its own, but with a little creative touch you can truly transform this venue to your style preference. When talking to our guests about their experiences they all say the same thing... it was beautiful, and they had such a great time! This is largely in part to the amazing staff being so flexible and fun to work with! We are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to have our wedding here! If you are able... BOOK NOW! It is completely worth it! I wish I could relive that day forever as it was truly perfect!

    Fantastic!!

    What can I say? The views, the people, the service, everything about this venue is amazing. We had zero stress working with everyone at the venue. And zero stress day of the wedding. Planning from out of town was a breeze with the staff here. Cannot recommend them enough. Love these folks and the venue!!

    Magical Wedding

    We chose to use the crest center for our entire wedding from ceremony on the lawn, lodge for cocktail hour and then pavilion for reception. We could not have asked for a better staff helping us plan and then during making everything go smoothly and our guests feel right at home. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing! The fireplace on the terrace was fantastic to have and they allowed us to have a little cigar bar on the terrace as well! The views you get from all angles is breakthrough taking. You can really tell the team that works there cares and have make sure to make the space again, just magical.

    I wish I could get married here over & over again!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had my wedding in late September 2022 at The Crest Pavilion, and I am so grateful I found this venue. Every single staff member is as kind as can be. I had countless questions throughout the planning process, and Cloie was so sweet, patient, and understanding. From when we took our tour with Amy to the day after, I was the happiest bride ever. My bridal attendants were Molly & Leslie, and they were absolutely fantastic. They made sure everything was how we wanted and were quick and happy to adapt to anything that needed to be changed. They were great at rehearsal walking everyone through their roles, and even better on the day of. I felt extremely taken care of by the whole team and eternally grateful for the staff. I booked many of my vendors through Amy's recommendations, and every single one was fantastic! Everyone I spoke to, including myself, thought the food was amazing. I wish I could get married over and over again at The Crest.

    Everything I Could Imagine

    The Crest Center & Pavilion was amazing to work with and the venue was so beautiful! We used the Pavilion late September and the view was breathtaking and the venue had so many options for us to use including lights, linens, tables, etc. We received so many compliments on the space.

    Our perfect venue

    We wanted to get married in the mountains so we planned a destination wedding in Asheville. The pavilion at Crest was the perfect venue. They provided a great list of recommended vendors, were easy to communicate with, always responded in a timely manner, and helped make planning a wedding from afar feel simple. Great staff, food, views, and party. Can't recommend this venue enough for anyone planning an Asheville wedding!

    A Beautiful and Stress-free Wedding Venue

    We started planning our daughter's June 2022 wedding in January 2021. At the time, my husband and I lived out of state and we were very impressed by how organized the staff at Crest were. Having them provide the catering, bartending, security, and a day of coordinator made planning a wedding fairly easy. Their suggestions for vendors were spot on. The wedding was held at the Pavilion but both the Center and Pavilion have beautiful views and the indoor areas are stunning. We loved being able to have people go outdoors to the patio where they could still hear the band but were able to enjoy the wonderful views of the mountains and fresh air. The inside of the Pavilion was so magical with lights and trees already in place, we were able to "go simple" with decorating. The food was excellent and we had many options to choose from. The Crest staff throughout the planning were easy to communicate with and Katie, our day of coordinator, was not only responsive but very patient. We heard over and over from guests how beautiful the venue was and most importantly, my daughter and son-in-law were thrilled with everything about the venue. Given the ease of planning this wedding, I feel like I could easily be a wedding coordinator but I know that the ease was due to the well organized venue as well as our excellent vendors. Thank you to all the staff, including administrative, the chef and cooks, bartenders, and servers at Crest for making this a memorable wedding.

    Gorgeous Venue and Incredible Team

    We had an amazing experience working with the Crest. They were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. It was wonderful to know we were in such good hands. The bridal attendants Leslie and Fasetta were amazing. Leslie was so on top of all of the details and extremely helpful in keeping us on the timeline without being pushy at all! The venue itself – the Pavilion – was gorgeous. The inside is beautiful by itself and when you add in a few flowers and décor, it is stunning. The view outside is everything. The mountains were an amazing backdrop to our ceremony! We are so happy with had our wedding at the Crest Pavilion and we can’t thank the team there enough for making our big day even better!!

    Gorgeous Views

    We had the chance to tour the Crest Center with Amy. She has been in the wedding business for a number of years and is a genuine expert. She was great at helping us visualize the space and how everything would flow through the entire day. She even gave us a few tips and resources on Asheville that are invaluable.

    I'll start by saying that we did decide on a different venue based on a couple of factors personal to us and our family/friends. The view of the mountains and the proximity to downtown Asheville made that a tough choice.

    Both spaces at the Crest Center have incredible views. The Pavillion was more our style because all of the doors slide open and create a really seamless feeling with the mountains and outdoors. With that said, it seems like a lot of couples chose the other space because it has a bit more flexibility for the weather, etc.

    I can tell the team at M7 will go above and beyond to help you create a seamless wedding here and your guests will be talking about the view for years to come.

    Best wedding venue and views!

    We just had the best wedding experience with the Crest Center! All of the staff was amazing to start to finish. We chose the venue in 2019 and had to reschedule our wedding to 2021 due Covid. They worked with us to navigate all of the changes and make it as less stressful as possible to find an alternative date.

    The Crest Center staff always checked in and were organized in everything. I planned my own wedding from out of town and they were super helpful in guiding me along the way to make it an smooth experience. They were ALWAYS pleasant and excited for us.

    The wedding day went smoothly and perfectly! We got married on a Friday so for the rehearsal we were allowed to set up our stuff for the wedding after our meeting and let me tell you how much of a weight that took of a bride’s shoulders! They were so accommodating in letting us get our stuff together as much as possible.

    The views were why we choose this venue. It showed off for us the day of the wedding! We had the most amazing sunset during our first dance. Everything was like a beautiful dream come true on the day of the wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Amy and the Crest Center staff!!
