  • Beautiful, excellent food, some complications

    •Erinn S.•Oct 23, 2024

    From the moment we started working with Emma at Castle Ladyhawke, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and warm communication style. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an authentic, charming feeling that made our wedding day feel truly special. The food was fantastic and despite complications it was a beautiful and magical day. While our initial coordinator, Emma, was great to work with over the 8 months leading up to the wedding, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that she would not be there on the day. Her replacement, Kelsie, arrived late, did not have our updated documents, failed to communicate with the vendors that there was a space for them on the third floor, and seemed to lack the positive energy and personal responsibility we had come to expect. There were also a few small hiccups, like the arch being set up incorrectly initially. But overall, we had a wonderful, memorable day for us and our guests.

    Castle Ladyhawke was an incredible venue for our wedding. The staff was quick, efficient, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is spacious, beautiful, and the scenery is just breathtaking. They were very attentive and checked in on the bridal parties, providing lots of support to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Castle Ladyhawke to any couple looking for a stunning location for their wedding.
