Welcome reception venue in Asheville

We are getting married in Asheville in October, and are looking to host a welcome "happy hour" for around 50-60 people the night before, including a few kids. We'd like the event to be casual, with heavy appetizers and drinks. Not looking for a sit-down dinner. The space doesn't need to be a private room, but we'd like to guarantee a space together for our guests. Does anyone have suggestions of restaurants or bars that would be a good fit for this? I was thinking of a brewery but having a hard time figuring out which ones to ask.
