Stunning Venue!
As a planner, I experience and work at a lot of venues in Kansas City - Hawthorne House has it all! Indoor and outdoor ceremony options, a huge front porch and lawn to have an outdoor cocktail hour, and of course the Emerson Room which is absolutely breathtaking! The Bride & Groom had plenty of time and space to hang out and get ready in the morning in their large suites which is a big bonus!! Elizabeth was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and the team on-site during the wedding were easy to communicate with and readily available if we needed anything. This venue is a must see - I can't wait to be back again soon!
Wedding Planner
I've been a wedding planner for 13 years and The Hawthorne House is one of my very favorite venues to work at. They are true professionals in every way. The venue itself is stunning and very unique offering indoor/outdoor ceremony options and the most beautiful area for cocktail hour and reception. We look forward to weddings at The Hawthorne House every chance we get! Stephanie Hopkins Pretty + Planned Events
