Hawkesdene
Our wedding celebration will take place on Hawkesdene's 54-acre private mountain estate in Andrews, NC. Guests will stay on the property and enjoy access to hiking, fire pits, yard games, game rooms, llamas, and more! Our weekend will be packed with fun. The all-inclusive rate includes luxury furnishings and bedding, chef-catered meals and snacks all day every day, unlimited beverages including coffee, soft drinks, juices and water. Alex and Gwen are supplying alcohol for the entire weekend. Throughout the property there are individual cottages and houses of various size that will be thoughtfully assigned to our guests based on group size, family, and friends. These assignments will be shared with guests before arrival. We understand there may be a need for additional accommodations nearby due to space limitations, and we will be reaching out individually if necessary.
