WOW!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Hawthorne House and the Staff! First, the Hawthorne was immaculate, the lawn was beautiful, the cocktail tables were lovely on the lawn, and the chairs were set out perfectly. The reception was just gorgeous, and the bridal/groom suites were perfect! But the STAFF is what made the wedding the most perfect night of the Bride and Groom's lives!! It was a magical fairytale come true! We never understood what the role of a coordinator was until that night...Regan was a Rock Star! She was our coordinator, but with help from Hannah and Chrissy, they were the Behind'-the-Scenes MAGIC! They completely set up the entire wedding while we were getting ready, and bustled quietly to make sure every detail, every moment was perfect! This is a MUST if you are having a wedding here as you will be able to enjoy the entire day/night because they are there for you every step of the way! Everytime we needed something Regan would say, "Dont worry! I've got this!" And she did! Even to the complete Packing of the bins/luggage/boxes before we had a chance to even start! THANK YOU Regan for your expertise, and kindness, and your special help, Hannah and Chrissy! A Night to remember!! Book with them now, they will make your dreams come true!

We highly recommend the Hawthorne House for your wedding day! Not only is it a beautiful space, but the Hawthorne team truly made the experience magical. From the moment we arrived to get ready at the Hawthorne House, Regan and her team were the first to brighten our day with excitement and happiness, even writing us a personalized note to read. Their attention to detail, organization and support helped everything run smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our special day. From checking on us when getting ready to bringing us snacks after the ceremony, they looked out for us to ensure we were happy and comfortable the entire night. They were even able to pack everything up at the end of the night which was a huge help to our family. We will never forget their hospitality and kindness! And for making our day truly memorable!

Our daughter got married at Hawthorne House a week ago, and it was the best possible experience! Everyone who works at the venue is very kind and easy to work with. Hannah, our day-of coordinator, was worth her weight in gold. She helped a ton leading up to the wedding day (as did Regan & Lindy) and worked nonstop for 12 hours straight. She was always pleasant, never got rattled, and ran the evening in a seamless way. Our daughter and son-in-law loved their wedding day and Hawthorne House will always be a special place to our family going forward. We would highly recommend this beautiful venue!!! 5 Stars for sure!!!!
