“My husband and I got married at the Hawthorne in November 2025 and it was absolutely amazing. We worked with Christine who was on top of everything and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The hotel itself is beautiful and if you’re going for a timeless vibe this is the spot. Oh and also, the food was incredible! Really can’t say enough great things about the Hawthorne - it was an amazing experience!”
