Looking for a classic wedding venue in Asheville, NC?


Homewood Asheville is probably what you're looking for. This is one of our favorite Asheville wedding venues for couples who love timeless architecture, romantic wedding photos, and elegant mountain weddings in North Carolina. Rich with historic character and beautiful 1920s architecture, Homewood Asheville offers a classic wedding experience just minutes from downtown Asheville.


Tucked away in the Asheville Historic District, this Asheville wedding venue blends historic charm with an intimate atmosphere that photographs beautifully on both film and digital photography. The stone walls, vintage architecture, soft natural light, and elegant interiors make Homewood Asheville especially perfect for couples looking for fine art wedding photography, documentary wedding photography, and film wedding photography in Asheville, NC.


As Asheville wedding photographers who specialize in film and digital wedding photography, we love how naturally this venue complements a timeless and classic photography style. Homewood is perfect for couples wanting classic wedding photos with a romantic and classic feel while still documenting genuine moments throughout the day.


The wedding venue you choose will influence how you remember your wedding for the rest of your life when you look back at your photos. That’s why we always encourage couples to visit wedding venues in person before making a final decision. Looking at photos online can help narrow down your options, but experiencing the venue for yourself is completely different. You cannot smell the air, hear the atmosphere, or fully understand how a place feels through a screen.


A wedding photographer should not only capture key moments and beautiful details, but also document you and your partner genuinely being present throughout the day. That balance between storytelling and artistry is what makes documentary wedding photography so meaningful.


What makes Homewood Asheville stand out, aside from its classic 1920s aesthetic, is the location and staff. Located just minutes from downtown Asheville, your guests will have access to some of the best restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, hiking trails, and local attractions in Western North Carolina. The Biltmore Estate is also nearby, making this a convenient and beautiful location for destination weddings in Asheville.


We had a great experience with the staff at Homewood Asheville. They host over 200 weddings a year, and their experience truly shows throughout the wedding day. Their team understands how to create a smooth experience not only for the couple and guests, but also for wedding vendors and photographers.


One thing worth mentioning about Homewood Asheville is the venue size. This wedding had around 150 guests, and it felt perfect for that amount. If you are planning a larger wedding with more than 150 guests, you may want to consider a larger Asheville wedding venue. However, for medium-sized weddings, intimate weddings, and couples wanting a more personal atmosphere, Homewood is an excellent choice.


This was such an incredible wedding to document at Homewood Asheville. The day was centered around genuine moments, meaningful interactions, and intentional storytelling. About 40% of this wedding was photographed on film, which paired beautifully with the timeless architecture and romantic atmosphere of the Homewood wedding venue.

We’re looking forward to documenting more weddings at Homewood Asheville!


If you're thinking about getting married at Homewood Asheville and are searching for an Asheville wedding photographer, film wedding photographer in North Carolina, or documentary wedding photographer who will provide the best experience, we would love to hear more about your vision and plans for your wedding day.
