Twickenham House & Hall, a luxury Blue Ridge wedding venue, recently transformed into “Fraser Ridge” for a one-of-a-kind fan celebration during Outlander Week. Nestled high in the North Carolina mountains, this private estate served as the scenic backdrop for a five-day gathering hosted by Novel Adventures—bringing fans face-to-face with beloved cast members David Berry (Lord John) and Tim Downie (Governor Tryon).
As one of the most picturesque wedding venues in the NC mountains, Twickenham House proved that its charm extends well beyond weddings. From Scottish ceilidhs to Highland Games, the estate embraced a new role: the ultimate fan retreat.
A Blue Ridge Wedding Venue Turned Fraser Ridge Retreat
Set atop 4,000 feet in elevation, Twickenham House took on a new identity as Fraser Ridge—a nod to the iconic setting from the hit series Outlander. The estate, typically known for elegant North Carolina mountain wedding venues, welcomed guests for an intimate fan weekend filled with storytelling, culture, and heartfelt connection.
Guests were treated to sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, comfortable accommodations, and the kind of rustic-meets-refined ambiance that makes Twickenham a favorite among couples and creatives alike.
Behind the Scenes with the Outlander Cast
The highlight of the event? An exclusive, up-close experience with David Berry and Tim Downie. Fans enjoyed meaningful conversations, laughter-filled Q&A sessions, and even a live podcast recording—all while surrounded by North Carolina’s scenic splendor.
"It was more than a meet-and-greet; it was a chance to connect over shared stories in a relaxed, majestic setting," said one attendee.
During these moments, it became clear why Twickenham House is proudly listed on The Knot and WeddingWire—its ability to create connection and celebration is unmatched.

The celebration continued with immersive Scottish traditions:
Live podcast recordings under open skies
A festive Scottish ceilidh complete with music and dancing
