Lioncrest and Deerpark are two historic event venues on the grounds of Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; each with a distinct architectural character rooted in the estate's working agricultural past. Lioncrest, originally part of Biltmore's dairy complex and listed on the National Historic Register, combines a covered open-air Veranda (its three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of surrounding woodland and a private courtyard) with an upper-level Grand Ballroom featuring a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, wrought iron chandeliers, and large etched glass windows. The combination is equally suited to intimate ceremonies and receptions of up to 320 guests. Deerpark, designed by Richard Morris Hunt (the same architect behind Biltmore House), was originally built as a calving barn and converted into a restaurant in 1979. Its 6,600-square-foot layout centers on an open-air courtyard encircled by four wings whose glass doors open wide to unite indoor and outdoor space, creating what the estate describes as a casual yet elegant feeling. The full Deerpark venue accommodates receptions of up to 600 guests.

Set within Antler Hill Village at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Antler Hill Barn is a private event venue with deep agricultural roots.
