"Donate flowers from your special occasion and you may receive a tax deduction.  Give yourself the good feeling that comes from recycling, knowing your flowers are bringing joy to others."

Check out the website above.  They are lovely people that are passionate about what they are doing to help others.

We will be taking care of making sure that Kegs are presented well and iced down.  We realize that by using a Keg, less bottles are being used and that impacts recycling and or our Land fill. 

We will also be taking care of taking all of the recycling to the appropriate centers (Glass, alluminum, #1 and #2 Plastics and paper)

We are adding a general fee for this service of $50 per fuction to cover the staff to accomplish these tasks.

Below you will find general information about both of our facilities. On the navigation bar on the left you can view photographs of both Homewood and Coleman Place. Let us know if you have any further questions, or if you would like to schedule a site visit. We are happy to assist in anyway we can.

 
Homewood is a restored 1927 English Manor located in Asheville's historic district of Montford. We are fortunate to be in close proximity to downtown Asheville, but in an open setting in a Victorian Neighborhood. Homewood is rented as a special event location at an hourly rate. The hourly building rate varies, depending on the date. We base the estimate on a 6-hour time frame, and all of your rental items such as tables, chairs, linen, china, silverware and glassware are priced individually and separately from the building rate. We also have a large inventory of decor items available. We will customize your estimate to your needs when you visit.

Coleman Place

With 4500 square feet of event space, the contemporary open floor design lends itself to boundless layouts. The space can accommodate up to 250 for a seated dinner, and 350 for an hors d'oeuvres reception. Like Homewood, Coleman Place rents by the hour.

Homewood and Coleman Place offer a choice of seven caterers for your event. These caterers offer a wide range of menu options and pricing to meet various styles and budgets. As a resource in planning your event, we will also provide you with a list of our preferred vendors. These recommendations are for florists, cake bakers, photographers, musicians, DJs, wedding coordinators as well as transportation providers and area accommodations. Vendors on this list have been carefully selected based on our experience with them. We feel confident that you will receive excellent service, professionalism, and the highest qualify product. You are welcome to use these vendors, or provide your own (with exception of a caterer). At our initial meeting we will provide you with the password to access these resources online.

You can expect your visit to take about an hour. If you are interested in seeing both Homewood and Coleman Place, allow an hour and a half. When you visit, we will show you around our facility, talk about your event with you, and create a detailed estimate for you.

We have a great deal of window sill space at our venues, and utilizing the Decor Package is a great way to cost effectively take care of filling our mantles, window ledges and surface areas with lovely decorative items and candlelight. We also provide votive candlelight around your florists' centerpieces.

The Decor package includes fresh greenery, assorted accent pieces such as White and Ivory pottery and stoneware, glass pieces, and an abundance of candlelight displayed in candleholders of varying heights to create a warm, romantic glow throughout the space. The Decor Package includes the candles themselves, and we take care of all the decor set-up, as well as the lighting and extinguishing of the candles themselves. 

Below are some pictures of the mantles, window sills and other decor interests at Homewood:

The picture below is of a centerpiece with our candlelight.  Also featured is our black wrought iron table numbers that are available at $2.50 per table.  These pieces are a lovely way to number tables when doing a dinner with assigned seating.

Asheville is a destination for vacations as well as holidays. The busiest, and therefore costliest hotel rates are on Fridays and Saturdays. April through most of November is Asheville's busy season, with peaks from May to June, and again during foliage season --late September thru early November.

A hotel will block up to 10 or 15 rooms for you, then add more as the first set of blocked rooms book.

Asheville has a wonderful Chamber of Commerce.  The Conventions and Visitors Bureau offers a service to assist visitors with blocking rooms.  Kinsey Norris is on staff there, and acts as liason between the guest and hotels. She will take your information and the hotels will then email you their blocking quotes for you to review.
