Samantha C. Sent on 10/05/2023My dream venue!
I got married on 9/23/23 and if I could give the Hawthorne 100 stars I would! This gorgeous hotel was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding weekend. I held my rehearsal dinner, Chinese tea ceremony, cocktail/reception, and farewell brunch there and all the events turned out perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests raving about how delicious the food was, to how beautiful and timeless the venue is and how comfortable the beds were.
The entire staff at the Hawthorne were professional, helpful, and extremely friendly. Karen who was with me through the entire planning process was spectacular to work with! She answered all my questions and concerns (and trust me I had a lot of questions), constantly stayed in communication with me, and overall made me feel at ease. Beth made sure my room block was all set and even got us to check-in early! Alaina and Ari were true rockstars as they were boots on the ground making sure everything was set up and running smoothly. Cece and Tyler at the front desk were able to assist with many misc. requests and questions we had during the weekend (thank you for all the water bottles!).
We had the best wedding team at the Hawthorne, and I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding a dream come true!

Kristen Sent on 10/29/2023Perfect venue & team
Our wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend this venue enough. The packages they offer are excellent and the team is top notch! Christine was an amazing coordinator, helping us throughout the year leading up to the wedding to answer questions, make suggestions, provide options, and ensure us that the day would go smoothly. The week before the wedding, we dropped off all our items (signs, favors, table decor, etc.) and did a walk through on every part of the day from getting ready to the close of the reception. We walked through all our items and she made sure to understand the setup/vision we wanted. The day of ran so smoothly with Christine and Elena checking in periodically but otherwise seamlessly running the day so my husband and I could enjoy. People could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how much fun they had! -

The Hawthorne Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we walked into the Hawthorne we knew it was the venue we wanted. From the ballroom, to the tavern, and the ability to have a room block for people to stay and make a weekend out of it, and it surpassed any and all expectations. From the first time to view the venue all the way through the planning process to the big day,our coordinator Beth Pasquarello and her team were professional, accommodating, flexible, thoughtful, and extremely helpful.
I can’t speak more highly of Beth and have already recommended her to anyone who is looking to have their wedding in the greater Boston area. She was with us every step of the way– stepping up and helping us with our roomblock (which was tough for a while with reservations, only downfall), creating a timeline, meeting with us multiple times, and most importantly working with our budget. She gave us expert advice and when I had talked with/ showed her all the decor during our last detail appointment she made it look absolutely incredible and better than I could have ever imagined. I had stressed that I felt the little details were important (very detail oriented person) and she respected that and really made sure that everything was perfect.
She moved everyone along throughout the day and made really great use of the space allotted to vendors as well as our decorations. What our guests absolutely loved was that they were able to see and experience every room that the Hawthrone had to offer– from the two rooms upstairs, to the library for brunch the following day, ballroom for dancing, and welcome drinks in the tavern our guests were in awe. I cannot stress how wonderful Beth is and how much we appreciate her for bringing our vision for our wedding to life.

Do you want a wedding where you have to worry about nothing? Do you want to have every single detail thought out of carefully? Do want expertise and high class service? Then pick the Hawthorne. Karen, Aliana and Christine and staff made our special day the best day of our lives. Our guests where flabbergasted by the level of service, incredible food and careful detail that was put into the event. The historical ambiance paired with the exceptional service made the whole day an affair to remember. My Husband and I will go back every year to remember our amazing experience. Whether you are staying there for the night, hosting an event or just going there for dinner, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend and I am a picky person.

Catherine S. Sent on 09/13/2021Legendary Service, beautiful location!
We met Karen at a wedding Expo in Jan.2020 and we knew that the Hawthorne Hotel have the character, the beauty, the location setting that fit our dream wedding! What we found out over the following two years, as we had to postpone our wedding two times during the pandemic, was that their attention to detail was impeccable. Their desire to take the best care of us and our guests was a priority. The quality and presentation of their food was incredible! The wedding package was not only affordable but it came with so many top quality referrals. Through them we found our florist, our amazing transportation, and our wedding cake that was pure perfection! Every last detail they covered to following every request we had, to giving suggestions to save money and how to handle the changing restrictions during the pandemic. They were flexible, professional, courteous and amazing during the whole process! We chose to hold our rehearsal dinner and our reception here and a lot of our guests stayed overnight here. The place with its history, beauty, and the way they run every detail so smoothly I definitely recommend putting this place at the top of your list! Thank you to all of the staff and Chef at the Hawthorne Hotel! They gave us a royal feeling at the same time making us feel right at home! Cathy -

Michelle K. Sent on 12/13/2019Our Wedding at the Hawthorne was Perfect!
The Hawthorne Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us in every way! From the moment we walked into the Hawthorne for the first time to view the venue all the way through the planning process to the big day, the Hawthorne staff were professional, accommodating, flexible, thoughtful, and extremely helpful. When we asked for guidance as we planned our wedding, they helped every step of the way providing expert advice. We also appreciated the inclusive wedding packages, which included wedding cake and floral center pieces. The Hawthorne really knows how to do weddings, and I was grateful that we didn't worry about a thing on our wedding day. This is mostly because of June Jennings, our day of coordinator from the Hawthorne, who was amazing. From the historic venue to the great food and experienced staff, we are so glad we got married at the Hawthorne. June and the hotel took great care to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly was! -

A Memorable Evening
From planning in the beginning to the actual wedding day everything was perfectly planned and coordinated by the Hawthorne Hotel. Our coordinators Karen, Alaina, and Paola were professional, friendly, and ensured that the night would be perfect. The food & beverages were excellent and the waitstaff that served were also professional and attentive. Many of our guests had food allergies or restrictions which were handled with the utmost care from the waitstaff to the kitchen to the front desk. Having not been from the area it was very helpful that they provided a preferred vendor list which is where we acquired our DJ and Florist both of which were phenomenal. We highly recommend the Hawthorne and look forward to going back on our anniversary. Thank you to everyone for making the 21st night of September just as memorable as the Earth, Wind & Fire song! -

Alicia Sent on 10/24/2017We planned a long distance wedding, as my husband is in the military and we were stationed down South. Karen, Christine, Ryan, and Liz really worked hard to accommodate everything we asked for-and we asked a LOT of questions. Our special day could not have gone smoother thanks to the hotel staff and the rooms in which we stayed (as well as those booked by our guests) were amazing. We were so happy to have our guests all stay in the same building and we really had the best day! -
