April 15, 2026. Please make sure you RSVP here on our wedding website under the "RSVP" tab!
We are excited for the chance to bring our friends and families together for a fun filled weekend in the Mountains of North Carolina. Hawkesdene provides an all-inclusive space with exceptional food, accommodations, and activities for everyone to enjoy. Rather than pack everything into one evening, we look forward to creating a one-of-a-kind weekend to remember forever!
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.
Please see the "Lodging and Travel" tab for more information on lodging rates and how to book.
Guest arrival is at 4pm or anytime after on Thursday, August 27. Guest checkout is at 11am on Sunday, August 30.
