Hawthorne House

The Hawthorne House made my dream wedding come true! I toured 5+ other venues in the Kansas City area and none of them compared to this place! We were so happy that we went with them! The team was so incredibly helpful and kind leading up to the wedding and our coordinator, Regan, made the day go by smoothly for me, my husband, our wedding party and our guests! It was so amazing to have her guidance and support through the whole process. You can’t even tell from the pictures how behind this place truly is. It was so fun to see our guests enjoying it and taking pictures on the porch, lawn, inside and at the gazebo. If you’re getting married in KC I would 100% recommend the Hawthorne House as your venue!

I recently got married at Hawthorne House, and we had such an amazing experience here! We worked with Lindy, and she was very responsive and thorough in helping us in the lead up to the wedding. Planning our wedding from across the country was a breeze as we utilized several of the in house rentals, and Hawthorne House allowed us to arrive into town the week of the wedding and have very little to worry about in terms of preparation. The planning resources lindy provided helped us to think through everything we would need to prepare. Everything about this venue is just beautiful! We got ready in the bridal suite, all pictures on the stunning property, married in the chapel, hosted a cocktail hour outside, and had our reception in the Emerson room. Getting to walk across the bridge to enter the ceremony while music is flowing out of the chapel… it’s everything I dreamed of! Having everything all in one spot for the wedding day allowed us to make the most of our time and soak up every minute without worrying about transporting around. Everything about this venue is timeless, classy, and very well kept. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride looking for a dreamy wedding venue in the Kansas City area!

I truly cannot say enough good things about the Hawthorne House!! Lindy was so much help to us through the entire process and went above and beyond (like giving us a virtual tour so we could book the venue while living in England)! The property itself is so beautiful that we barely added any extra decor, just a few flowers on the table for the reception. The chapel is what sold us! I always dreamed of getting married in a white chapel and having the option of a beautiful indoor ceremony space for a wedding in Missouri in August is a must!! So many of our guests continue to comment on how beautiful the property is and I truly believe that the reason our wedding day was so chill and relaxed was due to how amazing this venue is! We love the Hawthorne House and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!!

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!

Easily one of the most beautiful venues in KC!! Lindy and Regan were both great to work with, and I had a wonderful experience with them throughout the planning process and on the day itself! The venue is picture perfect and I was ecstatic to get married there!

I booked one of the rooms at the Hawthorne House for my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. The staff was so helpful and professional…responding promptly to my questions and providing helpful information about rental details. Many people commented about the beauty of the room and property. Definitely recommend!

Hawthorne House was the PERFECT venue for our wedding!! It is timeless, elegant, and beautiful. From the unique chapel, the cute gazebo and lawn, the bridge with the stringed lights, the huge porch, the lovely bridal suite, and the amazing reception hall... it has everything!! The team was super easy to work with and communication was clear and easy. They offered cute add-ons to make your day feel personal and perfect (lawn games, customized drinks/napkins, decorations for the chapel, etc.). I truly couldn't picture myself getting married anywhere else, it was a dream!!

I am still on cloud 9 from our amazing wedding last weekend. It was perfect and the Hawthorne House team, particularly Regan my planner, was there every step of the way! I think everyone in my family and bridal party knew who Regan was and said she was amazing. Any questions we had for the day were easily answered by Regan. My mom said someone made the comment that it was the best run wedding they had ever been to. They ran everything so I could completely relax that day. Everyone at Hawthorne House was great throughout the planning process and always answered my questions within a day of messaging them (most of the time it was the same day). I think I asked them to make at least 10 layouts for the reception and they were happy to keep doing it until I had something I was happy with. On top of the wonderful team, this is the most beautiful venue you will find. I picked it because I always wanted and outdoor ceremony, but it had the chapel on site which was a backup that would be just as wonderful. The weather was perfect and my day was glorious. Many guests commented it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

We love the Hawthorne House!!!!!! My husband and I got married here May 2024 and it was a dream. 220 people felt great in the space! The bridal suite is FANTASTIC and the chandeliers?!?! Are you kidding?! Stunning. The place speaks for itself, you don’t really need much decorations besides florals if you would like! It’s perfect the way it is. My mom and I were also so impressed every time we visited how clean it was… always in perfect condition. Everything so shiny and feeling new and fresh!! The peonies were even popping which was so fun!! Highlyyyyy recommend!!

Our wedding at Hawthorne House was amazing! We got married at the Gazebo outside and the natural beauty of the property made it the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. Luckily our weather was perfect, but it took so much stress off of the weekend knowing the chapel was easily available if it was too hot or rainy. There was no need to add any extra outside decor or flowers due to the perfect landscaping and beautiful hanging baskets along the porch and around the gazebo. The porch with the overhead fans was a great spot for the older guests to sit and enjoy the evening while the younger crowd danced the night away. We got so many compliments on this aspect of the property and how everyone, not just those dancing, had a wonderful evening! The venue was accomodating with virtual meetings since we live out of state and even allowed us to set up the day before during their typical office hours since there was no other wedding that Friday evening. We got so many compliments about the entire wedding and the simplicity, yet natural beauty of the venue.

Hawthorne house was our dream venue and exceeded our expectations. It fit into our budget better than we expected. Being able to have our ceremony and reception on the same property without a room flip was big for us. The entire property is beautiful, I can’t think of a single flaw! Everyone at Hawthorne House made the planning process easy and the day of effortless for us. The getting ready rooms had so much space as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

We had our wedding at the Hawthorne House this year, and I cannot express how absolutely perfect everything was! From the start, the management was incredibly professional, timely, and helpful. Their attention to detail made the planning process a breeze, and we felt confident in their expertise every step of the way. The venue itself is a dream come true. The well-manicured grounds provide an array of stunning backdrops for both indoor and outdoor photography. We spent an entire day capturing moments in the lush gardens, elegant interiors, and serene outdoor spaces. The attached pictures showcase the venue's diverse beauty, from vibrant gardens to charming architecture. What sets Hawthorne House apart is the thoughtful design that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. This flexibility allowed for a dynamic and unforgettable celebration, providing our guests with a truly unique experience. Our wedding day was filled with joy and love, and Hawthorne House played a significant role in creating those magical moments. I cannot imagine choosing any other venue for such an important day. To the entire Hawthorne House team, thank you for making our dreams come true. Your dedication to creating unforgettable memories has left an indelible mark on our hearts. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with a professional and caring team, Hawthorne House is the perfect choice. If I had to do it all over again, I would pick Hawthorne House every time!! Highly recommended!!!

I absolutely LOVE The Hawthorne House and their team!! Being in the wedding industry myself, I've had the privilege of working numerous weddings here and it's always such a JOY to be in their beautiful space. Thank you Hawthorne House for continuing to go above and beyond for your couples and for this wedding community.🤍

Amazing experience!!! We cannot say enough great things about the Hawthorne House team and their beautiful venue. We hosted our wedding at HH in October 2023, which included a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, and an amazing reception. I highly recommend this venue for any couples looking for a location that is very spacious and beautiful inside and out. The team is also extremely responsive and accommodating, which was instrumental in making the experience as great as it was.

The Hawthorne House is THE BEST wedding venue. Having our ceremony and reception all in one location made for a perfect day for us and our guests. Lindy and the entire HH team was a dream to work with. We could not have asked for a better day and our guests are still raving about how wonderful it was!

The Hawthorne House was beautiful and made life so easy when planning our wedding. The ample parking and chapel onsite makes life easy on you and your guests, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. We loved having our wedding there and really enjoyed the experience. We got married on 6.3 and having the option to have most everything inside but have a cocktail hour outside was also a huge bonus. My husband and I also really appreciate how they are always upgrading the venue, it was practically sparkling the day of our wedding. Overall, if you want an easy, beautiful, and classic venue that has their procedures for events super streamlined, then the Hawthorne House is probably for you.

Hawthorne House was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! The bridal suite is spacious and had excellent lighting for hair and makeup. We loved the picturesque white chapel for our ceremony and heading across the bridge to our cocktail hour after. The reception space is everything you could ask for and is so versatile with any color scheme. All of our guests commented how beautiful it was, and it's truly an all-in-one venue! If you're looking for a place where you can hang out with your party while getting ready, take beautiful outdoor photos, have your wedding and reception (without flipping the space), and plenty of room for your guests to mingle and dance, look no further!

I wish I could give Hawthorne House beyond 5 stars because this venue was beyond perfect and made my wedding day truly a dream! The staff was so helpful & knowledgeable! We LOVED that everything you possibly needed was on-site! The in-house bridal & groom suite and on-site chapel & reception space, without the hassle of flipping the room, made the wedding day run extremely smooth! We had our ceremony in the beautiful chapel & took advantage of the beautiful outdoor weather for cocktail hour - where we rented their lawn games for guests to enjoy! The venue had beautiful photo opportunities, so all photos were taken on-site! The reception space is breathtaking & so spacious. The space is perfect for an elegant dinner and a FUN dance party later in the night! We have 0 regrets about booking at HH & hope we can go back one day to see another happy couple get married there! Hawthorne House is hands down the BEST wedding venue in KC & I know all of our family & friends agree! This venue helped us create the most special day of our lives & we are so pleased to tell others we were married here!Thank you Hawthorne House for being so incredible & beautiful!

Hawthorne House was amazing! I highly reccomend booking with them.

My husband and I knew we wanted our wedding ceremony and reception to be close in proximity for our guests- the Hawthorne House was literally the perfect fit for us. Lindy, Elizabeth and Kim made it so much fun and easy! They are over the top communicators, and answered all of my questions in a very timely and thorough manner. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful amenities Hawthorne House provides, to the multiple gorgeous spots for wedding day photos, to the quaint chapel and outstanding reception room. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about our wedding venue. My husband and I took photos at night on the bridge with lights and they are absolutely incredible. We can't thank the Hawthorne House and all of their team/staff for hosting our incredible wedding ceremony and reception!

I had loved the Hawthorne House for a while and before I was engaged, I knew that's where I'd want to get married. December 2021, dates were filling up fast for 2022 so I took a leap of faith and booked it. We got engaged in February and were married in October at the Hawthorne House and it truly was the venue of my dreams. Elizabeth and Kim made the process super fun and easy and were there every step of the way! This venue is timeless, classic and so elegant yet very homey! You and your loved ones will love it! Can't recommend it more!

I have such fond memories of my wedding day, and that is credited to the execution of Kim and Elizabeth, as well as the beauty of the location itself! The property truly is gorgeous; not only that, but it is incredibly functional for your special day! We chose to get married in the chapel, take photos on the property, and of course, our reception! You can also get ready on-site, including the groom and groomsmen, which I found through the wedding planning process is uncommon. Overall, I have nothing but good words to say, and I think it's fair to take a visit onsite and see the beauty yourself!

This is one part of our wedding I would rebook 1,000 times and 1,000% recommend. Hawthorne House was AMAZING! Not only is the property gorgeous, but Elizabeth and Kim were incredible to work with. From booking Hawthorne House, they made everything seamless and helped with all my silly questions. We had our ceremony outside at the gazebo, but I loved the option of their cute chapel in case of bad weather. The suites were amazing to get ready in and the staff was happy to help with questions the morning of! I felt like everything went seamlessly thanks to the Hawthorne House team - they have thought about every little detail you might need from your venue! My husband and I were so pleased with our choice and our guests raved to us about how they loved it too. Would HIGHLY recommend!

BOOK HAWTHORNE HOUSE NOW!!! For starters, the venue is stunning which means less décor on your end. The best part about Hawthorne is the fact that this venue is all in one without the hassle of flipping the reception room to accommodate for both ceremony and reception in case of bad weather. There is a beautiful chapel on-site as well as an outdoor ceremony space in front of a gazebo. My wedding morning started off running a little behind with hair and makeup (my fault for not going in the middle like they suggested), but besides the point! Even though we were running behind on the timeline it didn't fully matter because EVERYHTHING is done there with no travel time from where you get ready, to where you are taking pictures, to the ceremony. Because of this, we ended up being totally fine on time and even had time to spare before the ceremony to do some quick touchups. Hawthorne House is the best of the best!

My husband and I are so grateful that we chose Hawthorne House for our big day. The venue itself is gorgeous! We loved that everything we needed was on-site - no having to drive around between the church, photos, and reception. That really made our day so much more relaxed. I LOVED that there are so many beautiful locations to photograph on property, so that you can get a variety of photos without having to leave. The bride's suite is gorgeous - 10/10. Elizabeth and her team made the planning process so easy. They are super timely, provide lots of good recommendations and suggestions (decor examples, reception layout, recommended vendors, etc), and help to make sure no detail is forgotten and that you are really prepared for your day. Quite a few of our guests said that our wedding was the best they've been to, and Hawthorne House was obviously a huge part of that.

Having our wedding at The Hawthorne House was the best decision we could have made! Everything on our special day was perfect and hassle free! Elizabeth and her team are the best out there! Could not have asked for a better experience!

My husband and I had Hawthorne House picked out as our wedding venue even before our engagement in 2020. We wanted everything to be on site for potential inclement winter weather, and Hawthorne House itself is stunning. The venue is truly beautiful, and we purchased and rented minimal decorations because it looked so elegant with simple floral highlights. Having two getting ready rooms on site was convenient and made photography and videography much easier; they could go back and forth between rooms easily, and we got a lot of great getting ready photos because of it. There were so many great places to take photos, so we ended up with a wide variety. I was worried that the cold would limit photo locations because we couldn't stray too far from the venue, but there were so many pretty locations inside and immediately outside the building that it wasn't an issue at all. So much of the venue was customizable and they work really closely with some of KC's top-rated vendors, so if you stick to their vendor list it almost has an all-inclusive feel. We used their recommendation list for almost every single vendor we booked, and they were all so familiar with Hawthorne House that communication was almost completely stress free. There was a transition in venue managers because we booked almost two years in advance, and Kim made the process feel very seamless. She was very responsive, even for all of my last minute questions with table layouts and guest count fluctuations. Kim and Elizabeth, the owner, were both so helpful. I had a lot of what-if questions and recommendation requests based on what others had done with the venue, and they were always quick and never made me feel like a bother. The Instagram page was also a huge help. It gets updated frequently, and I saved quite a few of the posts to help with inspiration. I really can't recommend the venue enough. The biggest tragedy is that we won't get to explore the grounds and buildings anymore now that the wedding is over. The venue is truly charming, and they made our wedding day feel amazing and look beautiful.

Beautiful venue that had everything we needed for our big day, including beautiful rooms for everyone to get ready in! We loved having everything we needed in one location. Very convenient. The staff is so friendly and professional. We couldn’t have asked for more from The Hawthorne House! Highly recommend.

When looking for a wedding venue, Hawthorne House was very appealing because of the beautiful structures and also the impecable grounds. We loved the fact that there is a chapel on site as a separate ceremony space. Once we saw it, we knew it was a one of a kind venue, so we quickly booked! Elizabeth and her team (Kim & Regan) were so easy to work with and they definitely know what they are doing as far as helping you create & execute a beautiful wedding day. We felt it was easier to pull off a gorgeous wedding when the backdrop was this amazing venue. They also have several beautiful rentals available that kept us from having to use an outside rental company. The bridal party made wonderful memories getting ready in the newly renovated Magnolia Suite & the guys enjoyed getting to watch college football in their suite. We would highly recommend HH and hope we have a chance to attend a wedding there in the future!

We recently got married at the Hawthorne House and cannot say enough good things about the venue itself, the people we worked with, and our overall experience! We fell in love with Hawthorne House because of the sweet southern charm, natural light in the reception space, and the flexibility of an indoor or outdoor ceremony. Not only is the space itself beautiful, but Elizabeth, Kim, and the rest of the HH team are wonderful to work with. They were responsive, always willing to answer questions, and made us feel at ease during the planning process. The “getting ready space” for the bridesmaids was absolutely perfect—our hair and makeup vendors had plenty of space and proper lighting to work their magic and the bridesmaids really enjoyed having access to the sitting area and porch off the Magnolia room. Last but not least, this venue lends itself to the most beautiful pictures. The lush landscape and sweet front porch created the perfect backdrop for our pictures. Having our wedding at the Hawthorne House was such a dream and we wouldn’t change a thing about our special day. Thank you, Hawthorne House!

I could not have asked for a better venue on our wedding day. Hawthorne House makes your wedding day so easy! We got ready there, took pictures there, had the ceremony in the chapel, and reception in the hall. It was so so easy and stress free!! Also it is beautiful for pictures

Hawthorne House and the team were phenomenal from the start. Elizabeth and her team helped us put together the perfect day. This venue is great as you can decide on a beautiful outdoor wedding near the gazebo or beautiful indoor wedding in the Chapel. Samee and I chose the Chapel and would highly recommend to anyone else looking. The outdoor cocktail hour had tables set up for our guests to relax and enjoy the vast yard. We also took advantage of the beautiful scenery for pictures before and after the wedding. Samee and I would highly recommend!

The most beautiful wedding venue in Kansas City!! We had our daughter's wedding there last month and we couldn't be happier. There was not one single thing that went wrong. The staff was responsive and professional and my daughter got the fairy tale wedding of her dreams!! The bridal suite upstairs for the bridal party to get ready in is simply the best I've ever seen! It's huge!! Plenty of room for all the gals to get their hair and makeup done! My daughter opted for an outdoor wedding by the gazebo, but it was nice to know we had the beautiful chapel as a backup! And because they have both the gazebo and the chapel for the wedding, you don't need to "flip" the venue for the reception! All in all, it was a prefect day and Hawthorne House was the very best choice we could have made!!

The Hawthorne House was an amazing venue to work with. We booked 5/29/21 as our original date and kept it that date as well. Elizabeth and her team were SUPER helpful in updating us with any policy changes due to COVID, provided helpful information about wedding planning in general, and were very responsive about any question we had. Between touring the HH in 2019 to getting married in 2021, we felt that we had a great connection with the Hawthorne House at all times. They even brought in special Gin and Tonic Syrup to make a signature drink that was important to me and the groom! Overall, we chose the Hawthorne House because it would allow for a non-flip wedding, offered indoor or outdoor ceremony locations, has a timeless look, beautiful grounds, and is big enough for everyone to spread out! One thing I was bummed by was the lack of time prior to the ceremony to get ready, and the getting ready drink pricing. We opted to get ready at an off-site location because with 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms and a bride, the 11am access time for a 5:30 ceremony (with photos before-hand) just wasn't enough time to get ready in the beautiful getting-ready suites on-site. Once you're on-site, you also cannot bring outside alcohol due to their liquor license and the pricing for providing drinks from the HH for the wedding party before the ceremony is around $5 per bottle (depending on what you get - beer, white claws, etc) which I felt was a bit steep. Nonetheless, the venue was perfect for our big day, and I would recommend the Hawthorne House to any couple.

Great venue! 5/5. Very accommodative with us having to reschedule due to the virus.

Having our wedding at Hawthorne House was a DREAM! Elizabeth and Regan were responsive and friendly during our initial tour, throughout the planning process, and leading up to our wedding day. The venue is stunning and accommodating to all guests. There are 2 locations to host a ceremony and lots of flexibility when it comes to the reception seating and floor plan. The day of our wedding was seamless and our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was! Thank you so much Hawthorne House! We wouldn't change a thing!

Hawthorne House is the PERFECT wedding venue! The grounds are lush and beautiful, and the inside of the venue is absolutely gorgeous. The bride & groom suites were recently renovated and provided the perfect place for us to get ready onsite. The wrap around porch and lawn were stunning and absolutely perfect for our cocktail hour prior to the reception. We loved that we didn't need a ton of decorations because the setup is already so beautiful! Not only is Elizabeth one of the kindest, sweetest people you will ever meet, she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted for our reception. Her down-to-earth personality made the entire planning process so easy and fun. It was an absolute dream to have my reception here and I can't recommend it to others enough!

We could not have made a better decision than to get married at The Hawthorne House! This venue was the perfect foundation for our special day! The venue itself is beautiful and speaks for itself and the staff is just as wonderful! Elizabeth was so helpful along the way, almost like a second coordinator! And Regan was also awesome! They were so easy to work with even through the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic. I would highly recommend The Hawthorne House, you will not regret your decision to get married here!

The Hawthorne House was absolutely the most amazing venue and everything we could have dreamed of!! When looking at venues I knew that we wanted to be in one place all day and The Hawthorne House was able to give that to us from getting ready to pictures, the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. Elizabeth and Regan are the sweetest people, so easy to communicate with and were so helpful through everything! We had to reschedule our wedding due to covid and they made it so easy and really worked with us in order to insure we would still get our dream wedding. We loved that we could have an outdoor ceremony but in case of rain we did not have to worry because we also had the chapel as an option. I could not be happier with our decision to get married at The Hawthorne House!!

The Hawthorne House was the perfect place for the most magical wedding!! I looked at over 20 venues across the Kansas City area, and nothing compares to the Hawthorne House! From the girls getting ready in the most beautiful and bright Magnolia room, having some traditional elements of walking down the aisle in the little white chapel, taking photos all over the gorgeous lush, green lawn and surrounding property, to dancing the night away in the stunning Emerson Room...the Hawthorne House was absolutely the most perfect wedding venue! Elizabeth and her team was such a great help , especially during an uncertain time in the world due to COVID. They trusted us and ensured our wedding day would be all that we wanted and they were absolutely correct! I would pick the Hawthorne House over and over again!

If you are looking for an all in one location you have come to the right place. From a beautiful chapel, getting ready suites (they are remodeling them and they are going to be sooo beautiful), a beautiful reception hall, and a large outdoor space for pictures and guests to mingle, they have it ALL! We went to a wedding here 10 years ago and my mother loved it so much we booked this venue before even officially touring it! No regrets!! We had a tour after we officially booked it and another prior to our wedding and both were so perfect! Elizabeth is an amazing venue coordinator and she is so fun to follow along on social media. We enjoyed getting to know her through our planning process. I even got a last minute decoration idea through her stories on Instagram. So fun to follow and I highly recommend it to any bride-to-be. This venue is just perfect on so many levels. We had a 70 degree day in November for our wedding and planned on having the wedding in the chapel regardless of weather but guests loved being able to hang inside or outside on the wrap around porch during the reception. So the flexibility of layouts and set-ups are so nice and can truly feel unique to each couple. My mother loved having everything on site! The wedding guests (and older family members) didn't have to worry about transportation from place to place. They even allow for vehicles to stay parked overnight in case you need to uber home from the celebration! For the wedding party, there are unlimited places to get pictures taken, even after looking pictures I couldn't believe they were all taken on site!! So amazing! The "house" aspect of a venue is so special and gives a cozy feel, almost like you were getting married at your own house with all your close friends and family. I love that vibe. My wedding was around 180 people and the venue was perfect, plenty of room but still intimate feeling and plenty of room for people to mingle. I could go on about all the things I love about Hawthorne house, but I'll just end it with a huge thank you to the venue, Elizabeth, and her whole team of behind the scene employees. Here is to hopes that I get to attend many more weddings there in the future, maybe one of my younger sisters! Fabulous venue!!

We had an amazing experience working with the Hawthorne House for our ceremony and reception. We had our hearts set on an outdoor ceremony, but it started raining when guests were arriving. The coordinator was able to flip our cocktail hour and ceremony to give time for the rain to let up for us to have our perfect outdoor ceremony!

Thank you Hawthorne House for making my wedding dreams come true! From the moment I turned onto the property for the first time, my jaw dropped. Everything about the venue is stunning. We had our ceremony in the chapel, which was a DREAM! Bright natural light, wooden pews, grand piano, white exterior, big staircase, a rod iron bridge surrounded by trees -everything was so simple and beautiful, & that isn't even all of it! The reception space - the wrap around porch, bridal suite with a BALCONY, hardwood floors, natural light, gold chandeliers - I mean I could go on and on, but it was a literal dream come true. Everything was so beautiful that we hardly used any additional decoration besides flowers and centerpieces! Thank you Elizabeth for answering so many questions, being a joy to work with and allowing us to have our wedding at HH! We still have people telling us how beautiful the venue was, even 5 months later!

Hawthorne House was everything we dreamed of for our wedding! The chapel was the perfect setting for our indoor ceremony. It was large enough to seat all of our guests, but still had a cozy, intimate feel. The short walk from the chapel to the reception area is beautiful in fall and our guests loved that everything was in the same location. The reception hall itself is so beautiful on its own that we had to do very little decorating on our own. Our guests loved the venue and complimented it all night long. The staff at Hawthorne House is also incredible! I cannot say enough good things about Elizabeth! She responded to any questions we had immediately and was able to help us out with some suggestions when we weren't sure what direction to go in. She met with us several times and was always pleasant and eager to help. Hawthorne House is a fabulous place to get married!

My daughter was married at the Hawthorne House in September. Everything about the property was FABULOUS! From the first sight of the chapel when you drive up leading to the beautiful grounds then the welcoming front porch, it is picture card perfect! The chapel looked amazing and when I entered the reception hall, it took my breath away! The room was aglow with light from the gorgeous chandeliers and romantic candles on every table. All the white and glass accentuated by flowers coupled with the view of trees through the windows was stunning. We received so many compliments from the guests about this gorgeous venue. Plus Elizabeth and her team were very responsive and easy to work with bringing our vision to life. Choosing the Hawthorne House was the BEST decision we made and we couldn't be happier about the entire experience. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hawthorne House is absolutely gorgeous!! We loved everything about our wedding. The suites are so nice so you can have everyone getting ready in the same area. I would advise to be super careful if it is raining on the bridge from the chapel to the house because we did have 4 people slip and fall that night (including me)! Other than that it was gorgeous and I got so many compliments from many guests!!

We could not imagined a better venue for our wedding! The Hawthorne House was an absolute dream. The staff worked perfectly with our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly and was perfect for our special day. The venue offers both and indoor and outdoor ceremony option. We decided to get married in the chapel, and all of our photos turned out amazing. The windows in the building are gorgeous, and i love the traditional pews. There is also a basement which is great for hiding away the bride and wedding party. The lawn was kept green and gorgeous for out hot August wedding which helped for photos, and would be great for an outdoor ceremony. You really can't beat the gorgeous porch at the reception building, not to mention the beautiful hardwoods and chandeliers. There is also a bridal suite and a groom's suite which was great for getting ready. I really can't say enough good things about this venue and the staff. We had the perfect day, and Hawthorne House will always have a special place in our hearts.

Wow. This venue is the number one spot I would recommend over and over. It was BEAUTIFUL! the outside, the inside, everywhere. It was perfect. Elizabeth also was the best and so great at her job! Phenomenal place to get married!

It was love at first site when I first saw this venue (even in the dead of winter). I was absolutely blown away and knew this was my wedding venue! Our spring wedding date was the perfect complement for this venue as the outdoor lawn, florals and landscaping was beautiful. This venue is great as it allows both outdoor and indoor chapel options for ceremony and a separate reception space, all on the same property. The indoor reception area is just as dreamy as the outdoors and have beautiful open windows, chandeliers and hardwood floors! I had many guests come and tell me how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed it! I can also not say enough amazing things about Elizabeth! The venue had changed ownership two months prior to our big day, which initially made me nervous however Elizabeth exceeded my expectations and was incredibly professional, responsive and organized. I am so excited to see everything she does with this venue because she is amazing! The venue staff was amazing on our wedding day and worked together with all of our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day! We cannot express enough gratitude to Elizabeth and all the Hawthorne House Staff for making our wedding day a night we will never forget! Amy & Ben Schatz

This was the absolute best venue we could have found, it was everything we had dreamed for! The ambiance and vibe of the outside ceremony and indoor reception was on point. Our guests loved it and we are so thankful for the staff that evening and leading up to it. There was plenty of room to dance, mingle, eat, drink, crowd surf! Haha. It was an amazing night we will absolutely never forget. Thanks so much guys!

Wedding venue perfection! My mom actually found this venue while searching online (she’s based in FL) and sent it to me. I knew from the pictures online that it looked like my style, but to see it in person I was blown away! Hawthorne House was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding this June. It is located in a quiet, beautiful area and it feels like you’re in the South, not Missouri! The venue is well taken care of and the landscaping is pristine. We wanted to get married outside and the lawn is the perfect place for an outdoor ceremony. The indoor reception area is absolutely stunning filled with windows, natural light, and gorgeous chandeliers. We received so many compliments from our guests about HH. It was so great to have our ceremony and reception on the same site, and made our day so easy. The chapel on site is also beautiful and was a perfect ‘back up’ plan, if it had rained. Elizabeth was great to work with for our big day. We were worried when we heard the venue ownership had changed just a few months prior to our wedding, but we were so happy that Elizabeth was the one to take over! She was responsive, professional, and so sweet. She made sure our original contract was upheld and she allowed our vision to come through perfectly. HH provides great packages for alcohol and we were able to have the open bar we wanted, for a reasonable price. Elizabeth & her team are in the process of updating the getting ready suites and I know they will be beautiful for future brides & grooms. This venue provided the perfect little slice of heaven for our wedding day. I day dream about it all the time. The weather was an absolute dream on our big day and our guests LOVED the cocktail hour on the lawn. I 100% recommend this for future couples. It was the perfect place to relax, schmooze with guests and enjoy the view. We danced the night away on the beautiful wood floors of the reception area and guests mingled on the stunning wrap-around front porch throughout the night. Seriously, HH is the perfect venue for anyone who loves old southern glamour. Honestly crossing my fingers that someone I know will marry there in the future so I can go back! Thank you to Elizabeth and her team for making our wedding day so relaxing, fun, and an absolute dream. We love you! Our memories here will last a lifetime. - Kristen & Austin Rickabaugh

The Hawthorne House was everything we could have hoped for for our daughter’s dream wedding. It is a beautiful venue with so many options that can fulfill your vision for such a special day. We chose the chapel for the service and it was so intimate and special. Lawn games and hordourves on the vast lawn and huge wrap around porch were a perfect way to begin the reception...and the number of settings for incredible pictures were endless. But most importantly is how helpful and accommodating Elizabeth and her team were in making their day happen. From start to finish we had no worries that things would be as promised...and they were. If you want a unique and beautiful setting for your wedding...look no further...Hawthorne House is perfection ❤️

I had a Christmas wedding at the Hawthorne House in December. The on-site chapel was PERFECT for the chilly weather, and the reception room was exactly the warm, classy feel I was going for. EVERYONE commented about how beautiful the venue was. All the women I worked with were kind, understanding, and accommodating. They were VERY easy to communicate with via email. The coordinator meetings were super helpful. Luckily, they even let us come in the days prior to the wedding to set up because there weren’t any other weddings my weekend! (Perks of a winter wedding!!!)

My wife and I still look back on our wedding day and Hawthorne House plays a great deal in that memory. We couldn’t have picked a better venue to get married as it was accommodating to an outdoor ceremony and if need be an indoor (weather). We would recommend Hawthorne House to any couple. Costs were reasonable for the facility they run. It isn’t a BYOB scenario, so expect to get nailed with alcohol cost. Other than that you cater in the food and there really isn’t any hidden costs. Great people to work with! They have been in the business for a very long time. You’ll be in great hands

The Hawthorne House was fantastic. My husband and I loved hosting our family and friends at such a beautiful venue. Irene, Adona, and Angie are a superb team of highly professional, adept, personable, and wonderful women who care about ensuring that the wedding celebration is all it could be dreamed of being. Our day was phenomenal and there is not a more magical, timeless, or picturesque location we could have begun our first day of marriage at.
