The Cellar, located on the lower level of the downtown restaurant, underwent a full renovation in 2020 that created four flexible spaces that can accommodate up to 150 guests. \u201cThe Cellar at Isa\u2019s is not your traditional ballroom setting,\u201d said Ryan Tarrant, director of market sales for the FIRC Group. \u201cWe offer a warm, intimate downtown Asheville setting with a high-end, elevated menu from award-winning Isa\u2019s French Bistro featuring locally sourced ingredients. Our flexible event spaces allow couples to plan a welcome reception or ceremony in the Fireplace Lounge with a seated meal in the Main Cellar or a small intimate family meal in our Wine Room or Burgundy Room.\u201d Because Isa\u2019s French Bistro is a part of the FIRC Group, couples can work with the sales team to book multiple event venues and hotel rooms at the company\u2019s various downtown properties, which include Hemingway\u2019s Cuba, the Cambria Downtown Asheville and the Haywood Park Hotel, among others.<\/p>\n

Elevation Lofts and Momentum Gallery offer a modern location with a touch of history. The building that houses the lofts at 52 Broadway Street is more than 100 years old and has been lovingly restored into a high-end, boutique style hotel with six uniquely styled apartments. The establishment\u2019s name, The Lofts, references the lofted, exposed-timber ceiling, an integral part of the award-winning historic renovation. In partnership with Momentum Gallery, the 15,000-square-foot gallery space below Elevation Lofts, the exterior of the building has been enhanced with public artwork commissioned with Momentum Gallery artists, including a sculpture by Hoss Haley on the Broadway Street fa\u00e7ade and murals on the alley side by Samantha Bates. Additionally, every unit has been adorned with art carefully curated from Momentum Gallery. \u201cIt was also very important to keep the synergy between the hotel and Momentum Gallery,\u201d says John Zellers, general manager of Elevation Lofts Hotel. \u201cThe result is a meticulously updated historic shell with a completely modern and extremely comfortable living space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since both businesses are housed in the same building, couples and their wedding guests can move seamlessly between the event space and their accommodation. \u201cFrom the beginning, we challenged our design team to enable a hotel travel experience that was off-the-charts amazing\u2014one that would blend the historic structure with a thoroughly modern and luxurious interior,\u201d says Zellers. \u201cOnce inside, we wanted the vibrant city outside to fade away and the peace and serenity of the hotel to wrap around our guests like a warm blanket.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have the ability to accommodate weddings of all sizes, from an intimate elopement on our outdoor Creekscape or Terrace, to a 500+ guest wedding reception in our ballroom and\/or exhibit space.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nationally Registered Historic Shelton House features a 1905 dairy barn that provides indoor and outdoor space, as well as linens, tables, chairs, crystal, plates, silverware and limited d\u00e9cor for gatherings of up to 60 people. The space can host up to 100 people if using the additional outdoor space, but larger events require support from additional vendors. Catering and flowers are provided by the couple. \u201cBecause we are a smaller venue, we are often able to book your wedding with less time,\u201d says events coordinator Dannehl Strautz. \u201cWe have been able to work with people with only a few weeks\u2019 notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
