The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club

Stephanie Rice was a joy to work with, and I couldn't have imagined having my wedding anywhere else. The day of the wedding was flawless, and I heard nothing but wonderful compliments from my guests about how courteous the staff was and how delicious the food was. I felt so at ease knowing that everything was taken care of, and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day -- that is truly priceless.

The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club and Stephanie Rice exceeded our expectations. Everything about our reception was perfect! From the planning process to the actual day, everything was handled with professionalism and the attention to detail was remarkable. The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club is such a beautiful facility for hosting weddings and receptions and we definitely recommend it. We have received so many compliments on the food and service and how beautiful everything was. The ballroom looked amazing and they made sure that all of our details were carried out.  Stephanie and the staff at the Hawthorns Golf & Country Club truly helped make our dream a reality and we appreciate everything they did for us.

I could not have been happier with our choice to have our wedding ceremony and reception at The Hawthorns. As other reviewers have noted, the value for what you receive at The Hawthorns is wonderful, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. From the moment we met Stephanie Rice - the catering sales manager - we knew the wedding would be perfect. Because Stephanie was so professional and detail-oriented, we didn't have to worry about a thing. And, we are still getting compliments on the food - several "foodies" noted that it was the best steak they've ever had!

The service was top-notch, and I couldn't have asked for more from The Hawthorns. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

The Hawthorns did a fabulous job with my daughter's wedding. The reception was so much fun because I had no worries the whole night. Stephanie and our DJ worked together to make sure we had nothing to do but show up. We have received many compliments about the location, food, how nice the servers and bartenders were, and just overall how nice and fun it was.

Stephanie was very easy to work with and was a huge resource for us. If we needed anything for the wedding she knew who to contact! We had a wonderful ceremony and reception at The Hawthorns!

Stephanie Rice, the Catering Sales Manager, was absolutely amazing to work with. She had so many wonderful ideas and was eager to help us make our wedding day special and memorable. She was involved from beginning to end and we wouldn't have changed a thing about our reception at the Hawthorns. We had an absolutely wonderful time, as did all of our guests. I would recommend this venue to everyone!

All of the staff at the Hawthorns Country Club was so nice and they made sure that the reception ran flawlessly. I was surprised when I brought all of my favors, table decorations, etc over the day before the wedding expecting to set everything up myself and Stephanie told me to simply leave it on a table and they would take care of everything for me. They truly went above and beyond! The venue is also absolutely gorgeous and everyone told me the food was delicious. I would recommend the Hawthorns to any bride!

The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club was the best venue. After being to many weddings over the past 5 years, it turned out to be the best venue we've ever been to or experienced! In our opinion, it was the most beautiful (both in and out) and yet it was very affordable when compared to others. The staff was SUPERB! The food's taste and presentation was amazing. Everything we asked for was provided with a smile. The staff was always in the right place, at the right time, and willing to help out without smothering any of us. A special thanks to Joseph for being our server. However, I would have to say without a doubt the best part of the Hawthorns was our event coordinator, Stephanie Rice. She was always helpful! She gave great suggestions yet she always kept our wishes in mind. She made the day stress free by knowing exactly what we wanted. Not only was it a business partnership coordinating the wedding but it became a friendship. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride and groom!

We couldn't have been happier with our wedding and reception! The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club is a stunning venue and the food, staff and service are all fantastic. The facilities to get ready in are incredible and there are amazing places to take photos.

After looking at a number of other Indianapolis venues, I couldn't believe the value of the Hawthorns. The venue is gorgeous and the staff is genuinely helpful - high quality at a very reasonable price. I'd do everything with them again in a heartbeat! Our day was absolutely unforgettable and I thank the Hawthorns for being so detail-oriented and helping us make the day more perfect than we could have ever imagined.

The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club is the perfect place to have your wedding/wedding reception. The room is beautiful, the food was delicous and the workers there were wonderful to work with. We heard nothing but great reviews from our guest on their experience too. One of the best wedding venues in town!

The Hawthorns staff was exceptional. Steven and Stephanie really took an interest in our reception and helped with many decisions along the way. They worked closely with us to keep our reception in budget.

The facility is beautiful and the wait staff was friendly and efficient the night of the ceremony.

I would definitely host another event at the Hawthorns.

Stephanie at the Hawthorns was absolutely great! The venue is beautiful and made our day perfect. I don't have any complaints about the service we received; everything was wonderful!!!

Working with the Hawthorns was fantastic! We couldn't have been more pleased with our ceremony and reception, the location and the service we received. Everything went perfect!

Our entire experience was outstanding. Thank you to Stephanie and everyone at the Hawthorns for helping give us the best day of our lives.

Absolutely a great experience; I'm still getting comments about how beautiful the wedding was and how great the food tasted.

Everything was beautiful! They are a bit pricy due to being a private country club but they really work with you. I cannot believe we were able to afford a place like that but we did! We didn't have to do a thing but decorate, they took care of it all.

Everything was top-notch.

The venue was gorgeous, food was amazing. The only negative we had was we had a pile up in the bar area with lots of people waiting for a drink. They started to get a little irritated. The staff was great to work with...very flexible. Stephanie steered us to some fantastic vendors (DJ and cake person) that we ended up using.

Gorgeous venue!!! It was wonderful to have both the wedding & reception at the same place! The staff was very helpful & we were pretty free to do as we wanted.

The Hawthorn is a beautiful place to have a wedding!!! We have received so many compliments on the food and venue. Unfortunately, we have also received complaints about the service. The bride and groom's family were the last people to be served their dinners and they never received wedding cake. The coordination of the ceremony had some problems and while the food was delicious the wedding cake was incorrect. I was told the staff would also organize a receiving line which didn't happen and my guest were crowded in to a small area during the cocktail area because a portion of the space was roped off for unknown reasons.
Although there were some issues, I was still extremely impressed how they were able to take my vision and make it come alive. The reception was absolutely breathtaking and I appreciate all the time they put in to making sure everything was set up to my liking!

The day of was almost PERFECT! The Hawthorns was a beautiful location and the reception and ceremony were run very smoothly. We did have a slight problem with the bartenders opening up a half hour early which bumped everything up without anyone asking us. Other than that the day was un-real. Amazing food too! Leading up to the wedding was a little rough trying to coordinate things with the staff, but otherwise it was great!

Hawthorns is a fabulous venue for all of your special occasions. Very professional, extremely flexible and an acute eye for detail.

The Hawthorns is a superb venue and will make your wedding splendid. The staff are true professionals and a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough.

The staff at Hawthorns continually impresses with their attention to detail and warm hospitality... Undoubtedly, one of the Northside's premier wedding venues!

The Hawthorns is such a beautiful place! Whether your ceremony is indoors or out, your photos will be gorgeous. Since the ballroom is surrounded in glass, the effect is amazing. My personal favorite time is in the fall, with the warm autumn colors. Regardless of the season, you'll be impressed with the scenery. Working alongside Stephanie and her staff made for a seamless evening for the bridal party. The quality and presentation of the food; Stephanie's professionalism; a gorgeous venue - what more could you ask for? I highly recommend them.

Stephanie Rice at the Hawthorns is great to work with and the Country Club is a beautiful facility to decorate.
