The Venue
Castle Ladyhawke
A fairytale castle in the Blue Ridge Mountains · Tuckasegee, North Carolina
Our Setting
A Real Castle in the Mountains
Perched on a mountainside in the Blue Ridge, Castle Ladyhawke is exactly what it sounds like — a real castle, tucked into the folds of western North Carolina. Completed in 2005, it was drawn from the stone castles of Scotland’s Borders: turrets and a Great Hall, a 14th-century fireplace mantle, stained-glass windows, and even a hidden room behind a bookcase. It opened for weddings in 2008, and blends history, fantasy, and mountain romance — the perfect setting for a Bridgerton celebration.
Getting There
In the Blue Ridge
You’ll find the castle at 1698 Shook Cove Road, Tuckasegee, NC 28783 — about an hour southwest of Asheville, with panoramic mountain views in every direction.

Raise a Glass
A four-hour bar with beer, wine, spirits, and soft drinks, served throughout the reception (for guests 21+).
