A bit late, but we wanted to give a huge shout-out to signsbytomorrowgvl for our beautiful sign, their excellent attention to detail, and the most patient and professional staff ever! Jay Kelly, your crew is amazing!! If you want to do business with the best, and with a company that believes in supporting and growing their community, these are the folks to see!! We’ll be back soon! 💕💕

Detail work not your specialty? That’s what we’re here for. We take the stress out of your event so you don’t have to think about the million little things. During a site visit the other day, a guest said to me, “I never would have thought about decorating a drink station.” My response: “You shouldn’t have to!” If you’ve been tasked with planning an event, let us help you make it a roaring success!

Ashe after dark: black linen and lantern light, elegance wrapped in shadow.

One step closer. 🖤
The old name came down today, and with it, the last traces of what this space used to be.
Immense gratitude to sbtgainesvillega showing up right on time, working fast, and leaving behind not just a blank wall but a clean, beautiful canvas ready for what’s next.

Excellence recognizes excellence. And wait until you see what they’ve designed for our road sign. I’m not showing the mockup yet, but I’m in love!! 🍂

Hi friends! We’re looking for some feedback for a new customer. If you’ve ever had one of Butch’s smoked or roasted turkeys or his marinated smoked pork tenderloin, drop your comments here to let our new folks know what to expect!

Honored to have The Gainesville Times share our story and our vision. Come see Ashe for yourself…and experience the personal touches. From the freshest, high-quality ingredients to our all-natural cleaning products and phthalate-free, cruelty-free, and dye-free toiletries, fragrances, and candles - we’ve poured love into every square inch. YOUR venue. Your event. Perfectly executed.

Grits, barbecue and casseroles are the “simple” foods Butch Exley fixes for large groups, but he’s good for fancier foods, such as smoked pork tenderloin.

We are so grateful for the friends, family, and customers who came out for our VIP Preview of Ashe. For those who were unable to come, here’s a little video I recorded in the wee hours before our soft opening event. Check it out!

There’s a kind of light that doesn’t just brighten a room, it welcomes you in. At Ashe, that light is our promise: gatherings here feel like home - warm and lasting.

We’re so excited that we are opening this weekend!! We can’t believe it’s finally here! And now we’re determined to do the impossible: fill the space with people every day. Our September rental pricing is insanely low, but you must book today to lock these in!
