Hawthorne House

Every interaction with the Hawthorne House staff was wonderful. They were easy to work with and more than eager to help out in any way possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Hawthorne House to any of my friends.

The Hawthorne House was the PERFECT venue for our daughter's wedding on 11/5/11! Everyone on the staff worked to ensure that our every need was cared for and the result was a beautiful and personal wedding experience.

Having both the ceremony and the reception at one site was a plus for our many out of town guests as it eliminated the need for them to navigate from one location to another.

We spent the day there - getting ready, watching our wonderful florist set up for the reception, having beautiful wedding photographs taken, and enjoying our guests!

This truly is the BEST place for a wedding in Kansas City!

Hawthorne House made my wedding day (10/15/11) absolutely perfect. The staff is wonderful, the food is amazing, and the venue is gorgeous. The chapel is adorable and the reception area is breathtaking. Everything was fabulous!

Hawthorne House is so beautiful with its hardwood floors, green landscaping, outdoor porch made for summer evenings, gazebo etc. I couldn't have been happier with the venue. The staff was great. The wedding ceremony and reception were both picture perfect.

The Hawthorne House was the most beautiful place every. We got married at the Chapel there and even though the day was over cast and extremely windy, the pictures taken there are outstanding. It was the perfect place for our wedding. And the owner Mrs. Sparks is such a wonderful lady. She was so very accomodating to us even though it was at the last minute that we found the ceremony location. i would definately use that facility again.

They were amazing to work with! Della definitely knows what she's doing and so does Donna, the coordinator. Everything went smoothly and absolutely nothing went wrong. Everyone loved the food too. We used their in house DJ, Wendy, and she was amazing as well. She played practically every song I gave her and didn't play anything I wouldn't have approved of. We also brought in some candles ourselves and they lit them all for us which I thought was great. I'm so glad we had the wedding here! Everything was beautiful.

AMAZING VENUE!!!! The employees were so nice, the food was fantastic, and the venue itself is so beautiful!!! I was able to take the time to "be a bride" the day of my wedding rather than running around finishing up tasks.....thanks to the Hawthorne House and its amazing staff! They took care of everything and I would HIGHLY recommend the HH to anyone!!! Definitely worth every penny!

Absolutely amazing location and service. Everybody loved it!! The service was absolutely wonderful, they made everything so easy for us. I could not have been happier!!

Gorgeous venue. Helpful and professional staff. Made everything so easy!!

I could not have chosen a better place to have my wedding reception. Della was a pleasure to work with in dealing with all of the details until the day of the wedding. Adonna made the evening run smooth and care free. The food was amazing, my guests said the best reception food they have ever had!!

I told my husband we will get married again next year just to use this venue again!!

The Hawthorne House is a gorgeous site. The staff was wonderful to work with and really helpful. It is a bit pricey and I didn't like that I had to pay the bar price for anyone over the age of 12 (12 and under get kids meals). I think that policy should be changed.

Having the ceremony and reception at one site was invaluble! I also loved having the coordinator who took care of everything on my wedding day so I didn't have to! It was so wonderful that my mom and I could enjoy the day and not have to run around making sure everything was in order and everyone was where they should be. The food was wonderful, the music was just what I wanted (and requested), and everyone danced and had a great time.

The Hawthorne House was a wonderful choice for our venue. The setup was perfect and they took away a lot of the little worries I had about the reception. I liked that a DJ and the catering services were included in the fee and they also took the responsibility of setting all the tables and gift table, etc. The grounds were beautiful and we were able to spend the entire day at the Hawthorne House getting ready and taking pictures. It was nice to not be under a time crunch. They have adorable rooms for the wedding party to get ready in. The women that I worked with to set everything up were so kind and very attentive to what I thought was important. They were also very timely and organized with the billing, menu setup, etc.

There were only a few things that I didn't like about the Hawthorne House, and in degree of importance, they were very minuscule. We were unable to bring alcohol on the premises and had to purchase the alcohol through the Hawthorne House. The only reason I didn't appreciate this was because we really wanted to pick out the wines and be able to take home the unused alcohol. We also were not able to take home the leftovers of the food served. Lastly, it was somewhat difficult to taste test the options on the menu for our dinner. We were only able to taste test an item that had been chosen by another bride. So, on the day of that person's wedding, we had to drive up there and get a carry out box of the food. There were some items on the menu that we really wanted to try and were unable to because no other couple had chosen it for their wedding.

Our wedding coordinator was awesome. They don't like it when you want to make changes to catering- even weeks in advance. Overall, a great experience. Beautiful and unique.

Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to get married! Kind of pricey, but worth every penny.

The Hawthorne House provided a beautiful place for our ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held outside and was just stunning! The inside reception in the Emerson room was more perfect than I ever could have imagined. The DJ they provided (Steven Tinsley) was amazing. The wedding coordinator they provided was also wonderful. She remained calm and clear head, and kept the day running smoothly. The food was also excellent!! The day was perfect. The place is quite pricey, but I would say it was worth the money in the end. As far as flexibility goes, they have a lot of strict rules, so that was an area that was a bit more difficult. But the day was perfect thanks very much to them!

The people are very nice and helpful, they made everything perfect. The food is very good. Everyone had a great time!

You can see how beautiful the Hawthorne House is without any help from me. What you can't see is how great they are to work with. We chose the Hawthorne House for my daughter's wedding January 3, 2009. They were so helpful, so accomodating. They made the process so enjoyable.

We probably visited the Hawthorne House during the planning process more than any other bride and mother of the bride. Each time we were greeted with a warm welcome and they even appeared excited to see us.

After looking at several venues and experiencing less than stellar responses during the selection process, we were completely happy with our choice of Hawthorne House from start to finish. The staff is fabulous!

We always enjoy working at the Hawthorne House. The venue is beautiful and the staff is friendly and great to work with!

I always appreciate Hawthorne's organized style and professionalism. I always here fantastic compliments about Hawthorne House, from my brides that have been married there!

I am always thrilled when one of my brides chooses Hawthorne House for their wedding. The setting is beautiful, ample parking, easy access. Darla is a joy to work with and is always helping the brides/families with whatever they need. The dressing room is the best that I have ever been in at a wedding venue. As a hair and makeup artist, I need the space, lighting and overall accommadations but don't always have the luxury of having it. At Hawthorne House I have it. Not only is it wonderfully accommodating for me, it is for the wedding parties as well. There is so much space and comfort to be able to get ready. You won't regret having Hawthorne House as your venue on your wedding day.

I recommend the services of Hawthorne House to make your Wedding Day that very special day you always wanted,that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for many years to come. ~~ Angela Neik

The Hawthorne House was our choice for our daughter's wedding and we could not have been happier. We became friends with everyone there, probably because of our numerous visits to measure EVERYTHING!!

The Hawthorne House has a magnificient setting which provides all of the outdoor pictures you would like as well as wonderful chapel and reception hall pictures. The food was wonderful, the staff was great!

As a wedding vendor, I love it when a bride tells me the reception is at Hawthorne House. The staff is so accomodating and helpful and of course we love to return for the...

So there was this wedding, at this one place, with these two crazy kids. And it was awesome.
Let me first say that if you ever have the chance to have a wedding at the Hawthorne House, do it. Natural Light is overwhelming and the place is simply amazing. There is no shortage of photo ops. And as a vendor, I have shot weddings where the bride runs into other brides on her day. At Hawthorne, no other bride will share your day. It's all about you! Hawthorne’s staff is experienced and reliable. You don’t want added stress on a stressful day. They simplify craziness! Cheers J.

Gorgeous location, wonderful people to work with, incredible space. I love working at the Hawthorne House!
