Our wedding at The Hawk & Hawthorne was an absolute DREAM and I highly recommend. We had our first look at the heart spring, our ceremony up at the Ritual Hill and reception in the open air barn. We stayed the night in a brand new yurt on the property which was so beautiful and peaceful.
We chose to have our wedding at the Hawk after attending many other events prior and falling in love with the land and feeling connected to its mission. From the very begging (over a year ago) they have been extremely supportive throughout the wedding-planning process, and I owe a ton of gratitude to their venue coordinator, who was super helpful answering all of my questions, available for in-person walk throughs of the land, video calls, you name it - they were available and responsive and kind throughout. The entire experience felt personal and highly attuned to our needs, and I feel that is something uniquely special that they provide over other venues.
The venue itself and spirit of the land is pristine... ideal for an outdoor wedding with many locations for pictures. The barn is spacious for 100+ guests. There is a special nook for live musicians, a built - in bar, and full catering kitchen, ample parking etc.
Overall we felt very "at home" having our wedding at the Hawk, and that feeling is something that will live in my heart forever. The flow of the day was seamless, thanks to their epic crew. It was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.

The Hawk and Hawthorn is by far and away, one of the most spectacular venues in all of Asheville and the surrounding areas.
I attended a wedding this October, and it was beautiful. The fall foliage, the decorations, the sunlight during the ceremony - absolutely stunning.
The staff was incredible! Everyone we interacted with was so kind and supportive. The venue was stunning, tons of color and personality. The land has this incredible energy to it - everyone was having such a great time.
I particularly loved the gardens, walking around and hearing about the permaculture farm. The spring water was delicious! The forest trails and stone circles gave us enough space to walk around and enjoy the day in its entirety.
The venue also hosts concerts like Rising Appalachia, so they had an incredible sound system! Loved kicking off my shoes and dancing amidst the fireflies and under the stars.
If you get the opportunity to visit the Hawk and Hawthorn, I would highly recommend!
Any questions?

We had our wedding at Hawk & Hawthorne last month and couldn’t have had a better experience. We rented the venue for the entire weekend and hosted a small rehearsal dinner, a wedding with about 120 guests, and a brunch the following morning. The property speaks for itself - I t’s a truly special piece of land, and we fell in love with the charm of the old tobacco barn. The grounds are beautiful year-round, but with the fall leaves and wildflowers in early October, it was spectacular.
Nick, Michael, and the entire H&H team went above and beyond in every way - setting up and breaking down, preparing incredible food, connecting us with vendors, and handling countless details behind the scenes. Everyone was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our weekend a success. Nick is a talented event producer with an incredible eye for both the big picture and the finer details.
We toured a few different venues, but choosing Hawk & Hawthorne was an easy decision. The pricing was more than fair for everything included, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or special event in Western NC.

Hawk and Hawthorne went above and beyond to make our special day come to life! They were responsive throughout the process and accommodating to special requests. The team was professional and friendly and seemed like they were enjoying themselves as much as we were! The property is magical and it was an absolute dream being in ceremony with all our loved ones on their land. We had a pretty non traditional wedding and our family and friends loved how everything about it was true to us and different. I highly recommend hiring Jacqueline through the venue for deco, her attention to detail and hard work really brought our vision together. 1000/10!! Best day of our lives <3

My partner and I got married at Hawk & Hawthorne in April of 2025. Ours was the first wedding after Hurricane Helene. The moment we walked into the "barn" (which is really more like a rustic gazebo nestled in the breathtaking surrounding mountains), we knew we had found our place. The staff was fabulous. They had lots of work to do to clean up after the hurricane. They did not disappoint. We used their recommended decorations person who did the barn, guest tables, catering tables, the path up to the ceremony space and the ceremony space. Since she works with them regularly, she knew all the ways to make the place look magical. They were flexible and cooperative with us and our external caterer. They don't nickel and dime and you can feel that this is much more than a business. We could feel how much they cared about making our event special. The property is on sacred land and H&H honors and respects the sacredness of that land. It is a highly spiritual place. If that is something that aligns with your values, I highly recommend H&H for your wedding. You and your guests won't regret it. Many of our guests told us this was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended.

The Hawk and Hawthorne was a wonderful place to be married. The people are friendly and cool, the views and landscape are gorgeous. That land is very consciously tended with gardens and fruit trees. I love the mission of the place to stweard the Earth in a conscious way, grow biodiversity, and build community. The Hawk and Hawthorne has a wonderful energy and positive vibe that you can feel when you are there. Thank you Michael and Rachel for all you do!

Hawk & Hawthorne was the perfect venue for our wedding. The heart-shaped pond was such a beautiful setting for our ceremony!
Michael and his staff were very professional and accommodating and went out of their way to be helpful.
We looked at much more expensive venues in town that didn't have nearly as much charm or rustic beauty.
We would highly recommend them for your wedding!

My partner and I had our handfasting/wedding in the barn at Hawk & Hawthorne.
The space was overflowing with magik. Michael was so kind and easy to work with. Attentive to all my needs while simultaneously giving me space to create the container I wanted without a 'hovering'.
I would recommend Hawk & Hawthorne to anyone looking for a beautiful barn & farm venue.
I enjoyed having the barn as the ceremony space as it was acessable for all guests while the land was large enough for people to go for a stroll when they wanted to.
Thanks to the team at Hawk & Hawthorne for holding my special day!

The entire team at the Hawk & Hawthorne was truly truly fantastic. From the second we got on the property to the moment we left, I was SO happy I choose this venue and the team. Rachel and Michael were so supportive and worked with us on making our vision come to life. The entire staff TRULY went above and beyond. We had a not so awesome experience with our planner and the Hawk team stepped up and added so much value it was wild. One of the team became my impromptu DJ at one point... (like I said, above and beyond). I am so grateful for the team!
Now.. on to the space. I think I dreamed up the property because it was truly one of a kind. From the natural flowing stream with fresh water, to the heart shaped pond (which is not at all cheesy ha!) to the amazing views... it was just epic. Plus so many spaces in the area are a bit more cookie cutter, and this one was truly unique.
For anyone looking to embrace the natural beauty of Asheville and be supported by the most gorgeous land and crew of heart felt humans, this is the spot.
