The Dance of All Dances- Hawkesdene- Andrews, NC
Let’s talk about first dances or “surprise” dances for a minute. It’s pretty common for couples to take dance lessons and work on a routine for the first dance. Occasionally there is a surprise spin, or dip thrown in there for a little pizazz. This adorable couple not only surprised the guests but knocked their socks off. Everyone was screaming with delight when the groom lifted the bride and showed her off with the biggest smile. I felt like I was documenting a modern-day “Dirty Dancing.” Also, notice that the bride changed into a dress that allowed her to move about freely and dance the night away.
Hawkesdene is such a unique venue, tucked away in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina. It’s a one-stop-shop- they have an amazing vendor list, dance space, and accommodations for all your guests. Stay and play, all day and all night- no need for anyone to get in the car after the party, just walk to your cabin. Hike to the waterfall, stand on top of Hawkes Nest at the top of the mountain and take in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hawkesdene is a treat for everyone, and the personalization and attention to detail is shown throughout.
