Discover what our customers are saying about UpMarket Gallery and why host your next event at our gallery in downtown Asheville, NC!

We had our son's rehearsal dinner at the Up Market Gallery last weekend. What a wonderful experience at this superb venue. Heather was fantastic! She guided us the whole journey and was so helpful with the planning and set up. The art gallery was the perfect place for our family and guests to unwind and mingle. The gallery layout was perfect for the social hour and then the meal itself. Our family and friends were so impressed and pleased with the accommodations. Highly recommend this very unique and lovely venue to host your rehearsal dinner, wedding reception or other special event. It was simply outstanding in every detail!

This place is lovely! Heather was very kind and professional. We had an epic engagement party. I am over the moon delighted with how it went. We will use this beautiful event space again. Highly recommend it. Can’t say enough positive things about the space and Heather. She’s a delightful person.

We recently organized a pre-wedding celebration for our daughter, attended by family and friends, and we were thoroughly impressed. The venue, UpMarket Gallery, is ideally situated near the vibrant activities of Asheville and numerous dining options. It boasts a wonderful atmosphere, is impeccably clean, stylish, and spacious enough for dancing, dining, and socializing, making it suitable for any event. The owners, whose names I would gladly mention, were a delight to collaborate with. They consistently displayed warmth, were accommodating, and provided invaluable assistance, including help with additional parking, ensuring that everything proceeded seamlessly from beginning to end. The venue is equipped with a quality sound system, excellent lighting, a generously sized kitchen, well-maintained restrooms, and a meeting room. In summary, UpMarket Gallery surpassed all of our expectations.

I love Upmarket Gallery.and Dog and Pony Show. Now I can say I loved taking a printmaking class there. The space is one of the most light filled and beautiful places to learn. Heather Davis is a generous host and artist in her own right.

I’ve just finished taking a wonderful printmaking class with Jeffrey Hirst at the UpMarket Gallery. The venue was absolutely lovely - a light filled studio with an additional room for lunches and a slide presentation and a full, professional kitchen. . The owner, Heather, went above and beyond with a pre-class get together, drinks and snacks, preparations so we could freely make a mess while we worked and numerous accommodations to ensure we all had a wonderful, five star experience.

We recently hosted a 70th Birthday party for my mother and uncle and we could not have been more impressed. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect, stylish, spacious, and versatile enough to suit any type of event. Heather and Margret were incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself was immaculately cleaned and well- organized, with plenty of space for dancing, eating and socializing. Heather created a play list from my request and the sound system was top- notch and the lighting set the mood beautifully . We had access to a full kitchen which made food prep seamlessly. The venue had plenty of restrooms and rooms that could be used away from the party. Overall, UpMarket exceeded all of our expectations, It is clear that you all have mastered hosting memorable events, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a venue that combines elegance, convenience and fantastic service. Thank you again for making my Mother`s 70th Birthday one to remember.
