Despite the unprecedented adversity and tumultuous changes of 2020 brought about by COVID-19, love has survived every challenge. We have seen this displayed time and time again among those in the front lines of the pandemic working tirelessly in service of their oath to protect us all. They faced extraordinary and prolonged stress over the last year, and many life-long plans and dreams were put on hold during these unusual times.
To celebrate that strength and resilience in the face of adversity, the Jackson County Tourism Development Authority, Bear Lake Reserve, and Bear Lake’s stunning wedding and events venue, Castle Ladyhawke, have partnered to create a nationwide contest for a Dream Castle Wedding at Castle Ladyhawke on Thursday, November 4.
Valued at up to $40,600, the all-inclusive wedding package for a fairytale mountain wedding includes catering, décor, entertainment and more will be awarded to one hard-working front-line worker and their fiancé in the continental U.S. whose wedding plans were negatively affected due to COVID-19.
Castle Ladyhawke is nestled in the seclusion of some of the most scenic, awe-inspiring vistas in the Blue Ridge Mountains, connected directly to the beautiful Bear Lake Reserve mountain lake resort community. To learn more about its history and view photos, visit CastleLadyhawke.com
