Awarded Best of Zola
Anything I write here does not justify it. We had the best experience from day 1 until the day of the event. They have a supportive communication style, are reasonable about everything, have excellent food and service, and have an excellent coordinator. It was like a dream come true event for us. We still can't believe it is over. Fantastic venue.

The Hawthorn 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 got married on 10/4/24 and can honestly say it was the most perfect day, thanks in large part to the amazing team at MCC! From our first tour of the venue to wedding day, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The venue itself is stunning—elegant, spacious, and with breathtaking views of the golf course that created a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail was thoughtfully designed to make our day unforgettable. The food was absolutely incredible! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was and said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had. From the passed hors d'oeuvres, to the main courses and sides, the catering team truly outdid themselves! What made the whole experience even better was the help and guidance from Fallon and Kim. From the very beginning, the planning process was so smooth and stress-free. Fallon and Kim are so organized, professional, and attentive. They helped us with every detail, offered fantastic suggestions, and made sure everything was executed perfectly. It was clear they genuinely cared about making our wedding day exactly what we had envisioned. Thanks to MCC, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and we’re so grateful to the team for their hard work and dedication. If you're considering a wedding venue, we cannot recommend MCC enough—it was truly a magical experience!
