ABOUT US
Hawkesdene is a Private Mountain Estate located in the mountains of Western North Carolina that hosts weddings and other special events. This unique private estate spans 54 acres in Western North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains. The management of this property invites couples that are planning truly remarkable wedding festivities

FACILITIES & CAPACITY
Hawkesdene is located less than two

hours west of Asheville and two hours north of Atlanta. This amazing property is unique in its exclusive privacy, a reunion-style wedding venue with onsite accommodations for as many as 102 guests and event facilities for up to 125 guests. Our special venue hosts just one group at a time and includes personal use of the entire estate with no curfews, elegant accommodations, and beautifully manicured grounds and gardens. Attention to detail here is second to none, as you’ll see the moment you arrive. The constant hands-on improvement of, and investment in, the property is what helps keep Hawkesdene a place where expectations are exceeded and memories that last forever are born. Our expansive property offers a host of spectacular backdrops and outdoor spaces for ceremonies, all of which you can choose from before, and even on, your special day. A very popular ceremony location is our covered bridge perched over Phillips Creek, framed by woods that change with the seasons. Our open lawn is ideal for larger groups and boasts a beautifully-designed pergola with lush floral gardens and mountain views. Smaller, more intimate ceremonies have taken place with our llama and alpaca stable as a stunning backdrop, where you’ll see our herd of llamas and alpacas grazing in the pasture. Receptions are held in our spacious open-air pavilion, which is attached to the main house and overlooks Phillips Creek. The pavilion includes custom-designed and matching farm tables and dining chairs, lounge furniture, a grand stone fireplace, a brand-new audio/video sound system with designated WiFi. You can also expect refrigerator storage for your beverages, a commercial ice maker, and food and beverage stations. Dining typically takes place under the stars in our adjacent pavilion courtyard. If need be, however, romantic clear or white-top tents can be set up attached to the pavilion for additional covered space. SERVICES OFFERED
Hawkesdene prides itself on its differentiation from “same-day” venues, in which you’re in and you’re out so quickly. An extended stay here is about bringing all your close friends and family together for a comfortable, relaxing, private getaway in the mountains. You can also expect an abundance of chef-created, delicious cuisine, with a professional event and service staff here just for you.
