We would recommend Castle Ladyhawke to anyone! What a magical weekend experience at a truly beautiful venue. Emma was a true professional in every sense and the rest of the Castle Ladyhawke staff were so kind and helpful. Planning was collaborative and clear throughout the whole process, and even our very high expectations were exceeded. The venue is well laid out and very thoughtful in its approach to the flow of the event. The food partnership with Ilda is so special and the food was fantastic!
