The Hawthorn Portsmouth NH 
Portsmouth, NH
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Our story begins in 1858 when Frank Jones arrived in Portsmouth with a dream of brewing ale. Within three decades, The Frank Jones Brewery became the largest ale producer in the country. As ale production expanded, the brewery added a cooperage and scald house to clean the barrels. Workers used scalding hot rocks to sanitize barrels because soap and water would cause them to warp. Once cleaned, the barrels were filled with Jones’ signature ales. The Hawthorn now occupies this Scald House, retaining its original red-brick walls, towering beams, and industrial windows. “Cheers,” then, has a whole new meaning at The Hawthorn. When you raise your glass at your event, you’ll be toasting in a place that’s positively brewing with Portsmouth ale-making heritage and local history.

We cannot say enough about or wedding experience at Wandby Landing this September. Matt and Mariah made the whole planning process extremely easy and enjoyable, they were incredibly accommodating to any of our requests and made sure the whole weekend went off without a hitch. Mariah answered every single question I had regarding rentals and even double checked that all the pieces we rented arrived the day before our wedding. We knew the most important aspects to us were our guests experience and the food and drinks were above and beyond what we could have imagined. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough, as someone who is from the area and toured many venues the best choice we made for our day was having it at Wandby Landing!

Based on previous reviews of weddings at the Colony, we lowered our expectations for wedding day but stuck with the venue as it is stunning, large enough for all of our guests, and in our preferred location of Kennebunkport. Our wedding exceeded expectations and was PERFECT, other than the cloudy day. Nicole is the best! Since we started planning over a year ago, there have been three different wedding coordinators at the Colony and we are SO grateful that Nicole was the one with us in the final months and on our day. She really executed every little detail of our day to make it perfect. Nicole provided such great insight and recommendations, a testament to her years of experience. The Colony is lucky to have her! Of course we could not have had such an amazing wedding weekend without the wonderful staff at the Colony. We are seriously blown away by all of the hotel staff and the staff on the day of, they were extremely prompt, professional, and helpful to make our vision come alive and stick to our requested timeline. The chef and kitchen staff were able to serve 190 entrees in 20 minutes, incredible! The food was also delicious, we received several compliments about the appetizers, entrees, late night food, and morning after breakfast. Most of our guests stayed at the Colony and found the rooms lovely and comfortable. The new Coveside rooms provided a great option for guests seeking more modern accommodations.

We had our wedding reception at the Leavitt earlier this month and it was better than we dreamed it would be! Throughout the whole process, Nell was very hands-on which was super helpful as we were planning the wedding ourselves. All of the details like the marquee, the garden, and the string lights, all came together to be so magical. The food was incredible, the bar was amazing and the staff were so attentive. You definitely get your money's worth at this venue and I definitely would come back just as a customer for the great vibes!
