Kelsie 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!

The perfect day!

This team is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The high standard of service and hospitality that they have for their events and the care they show towards their couples is top tier. From our first tour, to the planning process, to the execution everything was perfect.

I was a wedding planner at a hotel for 2 years and understand how challenging this process can be from a vendor standpoint. Emma, who was our wedding coordinator, handled everything with such professionalism and grace. We got married in October, just a couple weeks after hurricane Helene swept through and my family was so concerned. Emma was the epitome of calm and assured us everything would be alright and that they could still host us, so it was full steam ahead. She is the glue that held our day together and kept us on time while coordinating with our other vendors. I was able to turn off my planner brain and truly live in the moment of the day. Emma, words can't describe how thankful we are for you!! ❤️

The venue is absolutely stunning and loved having the castle to ourselves! The food was amazing, and our guests are still raving about the wedding 2 months after.

My parents want to plan another visit back to Bear Lake because it holds such a special place in our hearts now. So all I can say is thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for bringing our dream wedding to life.

Cheers!

Elegant and Exquisite!

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.

The location is in the mountains so the overlook of the trees is stunning. We got married in October and some leaves started to change so it was especially beautiful.

The castle had many amazing details and decor throughout. You will really feel like royalty just being in the castle! Make sure to take the time to explore the fun rooms like the pub and knights chamber!

Our wedding coordinator, Emma, was the highlight of this venue (aside from it being a castle of course). Emma was thorough, organized, professional, and also friendly. We got married about a week or so after the devastating hurricane that came through WNC. Fortunately the castle location and lodges were safe and all the staff were okay. With all the stress of the wedding planning, Emma was fantastic. She was reassuring, uplifting, and hardworking to make sure everything was taken care of for our special day.

The food was also delicious and the cake was perfect! Funny enough my new husband didn’t know about anniversaries cakes and ate some of it the second night after our wedding because it was just that good! 😆

The vendors suggested by the venue were also great! We ended up loving them all especially the DJ (Dow Oaks Events) as they were fun, reassuring during stressful times, and professional. The transport company Mountain Motor Coach was also friendly, fun, experienced, and professional!

We loved that we could bring our dogs for the ceremony as well!

There are so many great things to say about this place. If you are considering it, trust us, they are worth it!
