From the reviews

When thinking about where we wanted to get married, I knew I wanted something as beautiful and special as our love story. After visiting a few other places, I found this venue on The Knot and fell in love with the idea of getting married in the beautiful North Carolina mountains, which my husband and I love, while…

There are not enough words to describe how incredible this venue is. Everything felt exquisite and elegant. We are from Minnesota and this location was a bit of a destination wedding for us. Since Castle Ladyhawke offers so many services with their venue, it was perfect for arranging things halfway across the country.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Dec 2024

What a treasure and honor for Castle Ladyhawke to host our recent HIGHTS fundraiser! As a non-profit organization serving underrepresented youth, we aimed to create a one-of-a-kind, experience-driven event—and Castle Ladyhawke, an actual exquisite modern castle nestled in the mountains, delivered beyond our…

Please book this venue for your wedding!!! From the moment I had a virtual tour to my planning call with Emma, to the day of my wedding, I felt such a sense of calm and joy. This castle in the mountains was the perfect place to have an intimate and magical wedding ceremony and reception.

Getting married at Castle Ladyhawke

A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Castle Ladyhawke doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
