THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE! I just got married here last week. This is a beautiful indoor/outdoor venue. Asheville weather is a bit finicky in regards to rain, so we decided to hold our ceremony, reception, and dance floor indoors. The outdoor area has many seating areas or spots for pictures, including a fire pit and a koi fish pond. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue is, one couple even said they may have to book this venue too! The bar was one of the highlights of this venue. Drinks were delicious, and kept flowing. The staff here is absolutely fantastic, Dawnn was our coordinator and she made everything flow so well. Things were set up and packed up behind the scenes. By the end of the night, everything was packed up and ready to be brought to the car. read more

Mixed feelings on our wedding experience here. (Pardon the book. LOL) I would rate this 3.75/5 stars. There was a lot we didn't know, as it was a first time wedding for us with little connections in the area, and we would do a lot of things differently were we to do it again. Initially, we thought there would be a lot more provided than there was at this venue, especially for the one day rental of $10,000+. Things I would keep in mind for this venue (or for any other): Take your time choosing the right wedding venue: It is easy to feel time pressure when it comes to securing a wedding spot or vendor. We found Haiku in early 2024, and loved it. But we hadn't looked at anything else, and felt like we had to make an immediate decision because we wanted an October wedding. I wish I had taken the time to read through the contract before signing and asked more questions. We based our choice on the support we thought we would have. If I had under 50 people, and could have done their elopement package, I would have. They provide more support for that option. We had right around 70 people and it created a lot more work for us. Hire a wedding planner if you don't have family/friend support: I sincerely wish I hired a wedding planner to take care of a lot of the details that I missed and also who could have played intermediary with the venue and vendors. I thought that I would have more guidance that I did from Haiku, and opted to do the planning myself. Most of my stress came from details that would pop up out of nowhere, and having someone else fielding the minutia would have been amazing In retrospect, and well worth the moola. Pay attention to the contract, and get everything in writing: We signed a contract in Feb 2024, for our wedding in Oct 2025. As we started planning our wedding in early 2025, a number of things that we were told initially(not in the contract), were changed when we met up again later. Pricing, rules, etc. For some of it they were able to honor their original pricing, however some of the conditions we were forced to accept. The mixed expectations had us lose trust in our communications with Haiku, and made us realize we would have to be very careful for the rest of the process. Also, throughly read the contract and ask about contingencies. Ex. The contract makes the tents sound optional, and when it came down to it, we had a lot of push back when we thought we wanted to forgo the tents. There were also quite a few seemingly arbitrary rules, which every venue is likely to have, but left us confused and frustrated at times. Communication: I felt like their communication prior to a month before the event was lacking. Do not hesitate to ask them questions, and clarify everything. It would have been helpful to have some guidance to the portal we were given access to, along with dates things were due by....especially since it had many doubles and misnamed folders which made it hard to keep things straight. (Hopefully they have fixed this by the time you read this!) I spent a lot of time going back and forth with emails (Them and other vendors) where questions were missed multiple times. When it came to the actual event, it mostly went off without a hitch. The decor looked lovely, Haiku arranged things we had brought and meshed it with theirs creating a lovely effect. Things will always go wrong... and my issues at the wedding had more to do with the caterer cold food was served, people couldn't find our snack/hot beverages table (no one knew it was there), and missing unused cups/snacks that were not returned. An issue with the DJ being rude. We did have some miscommunication with how we needed to have some of items repacked to us, and had a couple things go missing (Labeling things would have done a world of good, I think) . ;) ) But overall, the guests had a fabulous time, of which I was grateful. - read more

Handled extreme weather during a wedding with swift, safe, and still fun attitudes! Fantastic experience.

"Once we take money we don't give it back". Boy did that end up being a true statement. That is what was said to me by Jennifer Zyla when I made my last payment to Haiku I do. I had deposited $6,300 to hold my wedding reception on October 26th 2024. A few days after, hurricane Helene tragically struck Asheville and the venue sustained flood damage. Understandably so, Haiku I do was unable to hold our reception I called Jennifer a couple weeks after the storm to inquire about next steps. I humbly asked for a partial refund and I was told that I would receive nothing. No new date, no credit of any kind and no refund. Jennifer pointed out to me that our contract had a vague clause which prevented the company for being liable for anything. "We would hold Haiku I do harmless for events outside of their control" Today, November 30th 2024. The venue has been repaired and new weddings are being booking. I have lost nearly $6,300 on top of expenses of planning a new wedding. I write this review as warning to anybody who wishes to business with this company. Carefully look over your contract. They will take your money and they wont give it back. Good thing I didn't pay in advance for the alcohol package. read more

My girlfriend chose them for her intimate wedding. I loved the location at Sky Mountain overlooking the valley. The tent setup and decorations were simple and elegant. There was a bit of oddness where I wondered into someone's actual home as I was looking for the bathroom. So not sure what's up with the venue. Is it in someone's back yard? Either way, the view, tent, and decorations were stunning. The cello player was a nice touch. Everything flowed seamlessly and effortlessly. read more

PHEW! I'll try to keep this brief but Haiku I Do was amazing! My husband is from Australia and our wedding needed to be planned and executed quickly due to the nature of his visa (the fiance visa requires you to marry within 90 days of entering the country). Up until approval we didn't know if we'd be marrying in AU or the US! We found Haiku I Do and from the moment we contacted them, we knew they were different! They have a warmer, more friendly, and personable feel when you work with them. Everyone else we contacted was cold or laughed us off when we told them how soon we needed to book the ceremony. The grounds are GORGEOUS! It's a little slice of heaven tucked into the edge of Biltmore village! They told us that their motto is 'Come dressed, we do the rest!' and they didn't lie! I was nervous about overlooking a detail or something leading up to the ceremony but they seriously had everything covered! We chose the location (their adorable chapel) and they asked for just a few things; we had to choose cake flavors, make a playlist on Spotify, and set a time for the ceremony. And that was it!! They provided the venue, a photographer, music (their speakers but our playlist), a bouquet and boutonniere, the cake, champagne, and an officiant! And they help you coordinate, they don't take your money and just leave you to sweat wondering if you're doing it right. They offer multiple packages for elopements. They also offer offsite elopements! And they offer full wedding day packages with all the bells and whistles for ceremonies and receptions! All in all, they were wonderful to work with and we will be recommending them for years! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about this inclusive venue. Jen and Sandy have supported me every step of the way. Their communication is top notch and I always feel confortable asking questions and leaning on them for support. She has excellant relationships with other vendors in the community and shared lots of great recommendations. They have made this whole wedding planning experience feel smooth and seamless during a time that could have felt very stressful. The venue itself is magical. Added bonus of easy to book flowers and photography folks really helped me out. read more

My daughter's wedding was here. It is a beautiful property, they did an outstanding job on the flowers and overall just as promised. Two issues, street noise and the sound system. You will hear the street noise, the sound system was not as promised. If you don't have your own DJ, you should get one, the volume for theirs is entirely too low to enjoy for dancing. read more

We did not want to sacrifice the experience of a wedding just because we decided to elope. Haiku I Do made our day so incredibly special and provided the experience and memories we hoped for. Our photographer, Daniela, and officiant, Darr, were incredible and we are incredibly satisfied with our experience with them! read more

The team at Haiku I Do is amazing! They all exceeded my wildest dreams when it came to my Pop-Up Wedding and it was a dream come true. They are all very professional, creative and attentive, and are the only people I could ever imagine trusting to handle our wedding day. They are truly a "one stop shop" for a very intimate wedding. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the Asheville area! read more

This was a beautiful wedding venue with an incredible staff. My husband and w attended a wedding at this location on a rainy Saturday evening. They were so accommodating the we, the guests, hardly noticed. They moved furniture, provided umbrellas and escorted propitious their tables through the rain. Everyone was professional and courteous. I highly recommend this venue for any event! read more

Haiku I Do was a dream come true. I was overwhelmed by the idea of planning our wedding. We knew we wanted a more intimate, family & friends experience. When I heard about Haiku I Do from a friend of mine, I knew I'd found my lifeline. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. Jennifer took the time to get to know me so that she could make recommendations that I would love. The venue selections were spectacular. That may have been the hardest part, deciding where we wanted to have our ceremony in Asheville and the surrounding area. We went with the bouquet package. I feel like we got the most bang for our buck going that route. The photographer did an incredible job. Our pictures are beautiful and composed in unique ways that I've never seen in my friends' super-traditional looking photos. We opted for live music. Our violinist ... well, I almost have know words to describe his music. I can only tell you how it made me feel - like I was participating in a fairy tale - surreal as I walked toward my soulmate. There are so many more things I could write about, but I know this is getting long. Leave it at this: I got my perfect wedding day. I will say, I got a tour of the Haiku I Do facility - and I almost wish I could've held off on my wedding because the zen garden was stunning, and I could picture my friends and family exploring the beauty of the facility, snapping fantastic pics of themselves as they walked about, and having a great time at the after-party. You've gotta see this place! I highly recommend you come visit the folks at Haiku I Do if you want a carefree, memorable wedding at a great price. read more

Zero stars apparently they had my first review removed ....although this place is beautiful they claimed to be handicapped accessible and they are not... a ramp does not make you accessible.. not when the handicap person is removed from the wedding and the reception because my wheelchair was in the way ... never have I felt more like a leper in my entire life and on top of all of this it was raining and I had to sit in the rain . We traveled over 16 hours round trip to attend and the bride asked if they were accessible and they said yes I could fit through the doors to attend the cocktail hour or the cake cutting either and obviously it means nothing to them grrrrrrrr read more

We went to an event here in December 2018. It was amazing. The staff are so friendly and professional, and the space is intimate and unique. We truly had a wonderful experience. read more
