Julie A. Sent on 03/03/2024Kelsie helped us have our dream wedding!
If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would!! Our wedding at Castle Ladyhawke was an absolute dream. With around 3 months to secure a venue and plan a wedding, Castle Ladyhawke and their inclusive wedding package came up at the perfect time. Working with Kelsie was the best experience. She was patient and kind and made us feel so special from day one. I’ve worked with a lot of vendors through various events in the past and Kelsie is hands down one of the most professional, funny, friendly and skilled wedding/event coordinators I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She made sure our day went off without a hitch (and navigated mother natures curveballs with ease) and made us feel so at peace. She truly provided a sense of calm that made us feel so at ease throughout the entire day and wedding planning process. It’s not easy being the center of attention sometimes, but Kelsie made us feel like absolute royalty. We chose the inclusive winter wedding package because it helped us save so much time — not having to vet and contact vendors for rentals, florals, cake and catering. The ability to upgrade and customize these things if we wanted helped us make sure we had the wedding that felt like us and was so beautiful and personalized. We are so appreciative of everyone at Castle Ladyhawke and can’t wait to come back to the area to visit. This venue and views cannot be beat. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone is still talking about how delicious it was. An incredibly unique venue and their winter wedding package truly is such a great deal. We never thought we could have such a dream wedding. We definitely will renew our vows here one day!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Thank you for your amazing review, Julie! We are so glad you chose us to be a part of your dream wedding. We enjoyed how fun and family oriented your wedding was and we can not wait to have you back for a vow renewal! -

Katrina R. Sent on 11/20/2023A must-book venue for a celebration of any size!
My husband and I got married here in October 2023 and the ambiance, service, and food quality is truly unmatched. We wanted an intimate elopement on a weekday with just our immediate family present (fewer than 10 people) and signed the venue purely off a virtual tour as we live out of state. Because of the elopement package, I was able to be my own planner to curate all the details I thought about which I loved. Morgan was an absolutely incredible thought partner through out my 10 month planning journey and was a fantastic day-of coordinator to ensure every detail went off without a hitch. Every question I had was answered promptly, all the preferred vendors we booked were fantastic, and the cocktail hour bites + cake were delicious with rave reviews from all our guests. The entire staff during rehearsal and our wedding day were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful which made the day even more memorable.
Our wedding felt like a dream thanks to the entire team at Castle Laydhawke and I cannot overstate how highly I recommend this venue.Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Katrina, we appreciate you for taking the time to share this wonderful review! Your intimate elopement truly radiated beauty, and we're thrilled that you found every aspect of our package and service enjoyable. Your recommendation means the world to us. Wishing you and Diego all the best! -

Magical and Effortless!
Morgan and Castle Ladyhawke are amazing! We did their "effortless elopement" package and it truly was effortless. Morgan went above and beyond. One of our guests was supposed to tie the groom's bow tie and they got stuck in traffic. Morgan, along with our guests, jumped into action and figured out how to tie it. As I was getting ready to head down the stairs for our ceremony, Morgan touched my shoulder and said "I know I told you before but you look beautiful. Talk about a great calming boost on my way down to the ceremony! Then when it was time to cut the cake, we had no idea how to cut it and not make a mess of the cake. Morgan walked us through the process and we had a flawless cake cutting! Morgan and the rest of the Castle Ladyhawke team helped make our day truly magical and unforgettable. Thank you Morgan!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Jennifer, we are so pleased to hear how wonderful your time was at Castle Ladyhawke! We loved all of the personal touches you
brought in from your scavenger hunt to the crest that you had everyone help with! We are honored to have been a part of such a big day for you and Ben. Thank you for your kind words! -

Beautiful Views, great packages, and amazing staff
My husband and I were never people who wanted big weddings or a lot of attention. I'm not someone who is into planning or wanting to spend time picking out what color napkins to have, or table cloths, etc. When my husband and I were planning to get married, I knew It had to be in the mountains and I was hoping to find some sort of package that took care of the important stuff, so that I didn't have to go searching for a bunch of different vendors. So, when I came across Castle Ladyhawke, I just HAD to reach out. We chose their elopement package and it was just absolutely perfect for us.
Not only are the views (obviously) amazing at this location, but the staff was great on our wedding day. Mason was my first contact when reaching out and she was so helpful and attentive and able to answer any questions in a timely manner.
Morgan (our event coordinator with Castle Ladyhawke) is a sweet angel and was beyond helpful in every way. She was always quick to respond to questions/concerns before the actual wedding day. On our actual wedding day, she kicked butt and made sure everything was running smoothly and getting things done the way they were supposed to (even if our families were being slightly crazy and making it harder than it had to be - I'm sure you know how that goes). She was so patient and kind and truly a pleasure to work with.
I honestly couldn't have chosen a better venue to have our special day at.
Thank you, to everyone at Castle Ladyhawke for making our wedding day amazing!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Kiera, thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are so happy that you loved Castle Ladyhawke and thrilled to hear your experience with Mason and Morgan were top notch. We wish you and Cody a lifetime of happiness and hope you can come back to the mountains very soon! -

A Dream Come True
Morgan is the BEST! My dream wedding came true and I couldn’t have done it without her help! Her passion truly shows in her work. On my wedding day, Morgan showed up in more ways than one. I would recommend Castle Ladyhawke for its beauty, but most importantly recommend Ladyhawke because of Morgan. If you want someone who will make you feel taken care of, wants to work with someone extremely professional, and wants their dream wedding to come to life - I would recommend Morgan and Castle Ladyhawke. The best day ever!!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Kaitlynn, your kind words mean so much! Your wedding was stunning and one we will never forget, thank you so much for this review and for choosing Castle Ladyhawke to host the wedding of your dreams! -

Best day of my life!
AMAZING!!!!! We recently had our wedding at Castle Ladyhawke and it was simply amazing. Every single individual that was apart of our big day went above and beyond our expectations. From Morgan and Callie making sure that every detail was perfect to the servers and valets who made sure that everyone was taken care of. I especially would like to say a BIG thank you to the valets that were working that day because they helped an elderly family friend who was having trouble getting up and down the stairs get to where she needed to go. If I could get married every week at Castle Ladyhawke I definitely would. If you are thinking about getting married here, DO IT!! You will not be disappointed.Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Hi Emily! Thank you for your review. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting your family and we are so happy you had an amazing experience! -

From the moment we first arrived for a tour we fell in love with the Castle!
Every little detail of the Bridal suite is so well thought through! The suite is huge! Makeup area is a separate room, so we had so much room for fun photos and video! And it has a balcony and so much natural light! Loved the huge elegant bathtub in a room with the view!
Wherever you go in the Castle, mountain views are spectacular!
We even went all the way up the stunning spiral staircase to the top of the tower, so many gorgeous photo opportunities! Loved the staircase as well!!
This is a dream location for the couples and for any photographer/videographer.
The ambiance of the Castle is so amazing. So many different spaces inside and outside for the guests to roam around.
The ceremony site is gorgeous and spacious, right next to the Castle walls with the mountains behind.
We absolutely loved Kelsie, the Wedding Director! She knows the answer to any questions and she’s such a huge help! She just makes you feel completely relaxed and chill. It means a lot, especially on a wedding day!
We’ve been filming weddings for many years and I just simply can’t compare any other venue in North Carolina to Castle Ladyhawk. So beautiful and welcoming the Castle is.
It’s a rare find!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Wow! Thank you for your review! We absolutely loved having you at the castle and we are excited to see the video content you produce for our clients! -

My fiance and I immediately fell in love, not only with the incredible charm of the venue and the neighboring Bear Lake, but the over-and-above mentality of absolutely everybody (without exception!) with whom we interfaced from Day 1. Mason, Kelsie, Callie, Rachel, Sarah -- this is an all-star team dedicated to bringing fairy tales to life. And their recommended chef? YES. That's all I need to say. Do yourself a favor and take a step off the beaten path. This might just be your venue.Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Thank you for the kind words and we are so glad you love Castle Ladyhawke! It really is a special and unique place and we are happy to share its charm with you! -

I'm a wedding photographer in Western North Carolina who has been documenting weddings at Castle Ladyhawke for many years. This venue is a remarkable property that is truly gorgeous in all seasons. Working with couples at the castle is a photographers dream. This venue offers beautiful backdrops from mountainscapes to interesting interior and exterior views of the castle itself. There isn't another venue in Western North Carolina quite like this one...all brides and grooms who have the chance to get married here will love their unique and dreamlike collection of pictures to tell the story of their castle wedding!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
Terri, thank you so much for such glowing words about Castle Ladyhawke! It was an immense pleasure having you and we can’t wait to see you back at the Castle soon! -

Everything was absolutely perfect! Kelsi and Callie made sure every vendor knew where they were going and guests were taken care of wonderfully. We stayed the night in the castle and woke up in the clouds, figuratively and literally. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect and professional venue! Thank you!!Castle Ladyhawke's reply:
