Hidden gem of a venue
— An Eventective User
from Asheville , Nc
I didnt know this place existed til eventective.com we needed a small place artsy, laid back but blank space to decorate for a sweet 16 birthday. We got so much more, this place was clean, staff super easy to work with and extra helpful, tons of space, very laid back but entertaining. Had alot of Guests happy to have come and discovered this space with us. Definitely will be back for more events. Couldn't be more impressed.
So nice for any occasion!

We had a sweet 16 party here over the weekend. The ladies are so easy to work with, the venue is beautiful and has lots of accommodations available. Kitchen, tables, chairs, restrooms, other things you can add to the rental. The only thing I would make sure folks are aware of is there are a set of stairs to 2nd floor and no elevator. Wasn’t an issue at all for us but something to keep in mind if you need accessibility needs. I highly recommend UpMarket for all your party needs!!
Loved having our baby shower here!!!

This was the perfect spot for our baby shower!! The space is beautiful, spacious, and easy to decorate! Margaret and Heather went above and beyond to help make this shower go as smoothly as possible. We had access to a full kitchen to help with food prep, cleaning etc. They helped answer all my questions and even provided a parking map for our guests. For such an exciting celebration in our lives, I am so happy we had people who genuinely cared and helped to make it the best it could be! 100% would go back for another event!!
Wonderful place for a Baby Shower!

The staff at UpMarket Gallery were so sweet and helped me figure the event out and had good suggestions on the parking in downtown Asheville. The upstairs is spacious and the kitchen was so helpful. So much room to socialize and walk about also. I highly recommend this event center.
Perfect for a Rehearsal Dinner!

We had a casual 30-person rehearsal dinner in the loft, and everything went smoothly. The hosts were great, gave us plenty of time to set-up, and guests loved it. Highly recommend!
UpMarket Gallery was an Excellent location to host our Bridal Shower
— An Eventective User
I rented the Loft located at the UpMarket Gallery in Asheville, NC to hold a Bridal Shower for my soon to be daughter in law. This ended up being an Excellent experience all the way around. Not only was the venue beautiful with tons of lighting & open space, including an industrial size kitchen, but the owners Heather and Margaret went over and beyond to accommodate us and make our party a stress-free successful event. Everyone was happy and loved the location, space, beauty and the hosts. Several of our guest walked away with great interest in using the facility for personal events in the future. I will be recommending UpMarket Gallery to everyone I know that is looking for a space to hold an event and they want something spacious, beautiful, budget friendly, easily located with GPS, and accommodating. Thank you Heather & Margaret!
