Amazing Venue

I got married here back in October of this year and the venue was everything and more. The coordinator Morgan helped bring all my visions to life. The staff was professional and very punctual. I loved the different packages this venue offered and how inclusive it is. That is an attribute that is extremely hard to find in a wedding venue.

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!
