Question

I RSVP'D YES - NOW WHAT?

Answer

Once you have RSVP'd here on our website, head to hawkesdene.com/guest-payments, select “Victoria & Micah” in the “name of couple or group" drop-down. Pay a one-time flat fee per person of $375.00 (ie, $750 per couple, and so on) with children 10 years old & under excluded. Your payment will confirm your reservation and cover the entirety of your three night stay, including luxury private accommodations for the weekend (with kitchenettes and laundry machines), meals beginning the evening you arrive through the morning you leave, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and access to a 24/7 snack bar. There are individual cottages of various sizes throughout the property. Upon your reservation, you and your party will be assigned to a special cottage chosen specifically for you based on party size, family & friend groups. Lodging assignment will be provided upon your arrival by the staff at Hawkesdene.

Question

WHY A THREE-NIGHT STAY?

Answer

It is not often we get to bring the most important people from all aspects of our lives together onto one property for an extended celebration. We're thinking of this as a fall vacation, a reunion, a wedding, and an iconic celebration all rolled into one. Regretfully, we cannot reduce the flat rate fee for guests that are only able to join us for a portion of our stay. However, you can certainly reserve your own accommodations off-site and join us on the estate for each day's activities and for meals for a fee. The fee is $12 per person per breakfast or lunch, and $79 per dinner (not including the wedding reception meal, which is of course covered by Victoria & Micah!).

Question

WHERE WILL I STAY ON SITE?

Answer

There are individual cottages of various sizes throughout the property. Upon your reservation, you and your party will be assigned to a special cottage chosen specifically for you based on group size and friend/family groups. The Hawkesdene staff will give your lodging assignment upon arrival at the Main House. We’ve spent many hours thoughtfully arranging family and friend groups together. Rest assured you will know the people you’ve been assigned with. For more information on accommodations, please see the "Venue" tab!
