The Wedding Website of Genevieve LaPlace and Eric Fafoglia

Welcome to Hawkesdene and our destination wedding in the Great Smoky Mountains! Hawkesdene is a unique reunion-style wedding venue that hosts just one group at a time and includes the use of the entire 64 acre property. They offer elegant resort-quality accommodations and amenities, absolutely stunning park-like grounds & gardens, an abundance of creative and delicious cuisine, and a professional service and event staff. Our weekend is about bringing our family and friends together on a private mountain property for us to exclusively call our own with no nightly curfews. All meals are included for all of our on-site guests (and optional for off-site guests if you chose to join us!) and there is plenty to do with the group on the property during our three night stay. Guests staying on the property will be immediate family of the bride and groom and bridal party and will be communicated on your formal invitation. Below are some of our suggestions of things to do off-site.

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad

18 Fry Street, Bryson City, NC 28713

, (828) 586-8811

Scenic excursions leave from Bryson City, cross Fontana Lake and travel through the Nantahala River Gorge.

The Tail of the Dragon

U.S. 129, Robbinsville, NC 28771

One of America's best roads for spirited driving and scenic views! Deals Gap is a mountain pass along the North Carolina–Tennessee state line, bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and near the Little Tennessee River.

Biltmore Estate

1 Lodge Street, Asheville, NC 28803

, (800) 411-3812

Tour the country’s largest home. The Vanderbilt Mansion is 1.5 hours from the Inn – a great day trip. The luxurious family home of George and Edith Vanderbilt is a marvel of elegance and charm, as magnificent today as it was more than a century ago. Faithfully preserved and filled with original furnishings and masterpieces of art, no other residence in America offers a more authentic and inspiring view of Gilded Age life while suggesting that the Vanderbilts and their guests are still at home.

For all the days along the way
