So, I'm not planning a wedding, or a wedding planning business, so I might not know the specifics…read moreof what a bride is looking for. But I have definitely been around my fair share of event spaces. And Hawthorne House seems like a good one. There is a nice little chapel. It's crisp and clean and bright. Also, I appreciate that it's a "chapel" but it's not remotely religious. It's basic, to be sure, but I think there's a lot to be said for simplicity. My only complaint was that the acoustics here are ROUGH. Plan on adding some sound absorbing features if you want people to actually be able to hear what's going on. OR, ban loud, noisy children from attending. Seriously, I couldn't hear a single word of the ceremony because of a few irritating babies. You cross a nice little bridge through some trees, and then you're at the reception venue. I was quite impressed. The aesthetics match the chapel in that it's simple and clean. There are quite a few windows and the lighting is fancy without being overly ornate. The bar is completely adequate, and has room for 8 taps of beer, if that's your thing. Around the front of the house is a wraparound porch that just felt great to be on, as if you were at the house of some wealthy relative. And the front lawn is expansive with a pretty nice little gazebo. Not sure what you'd do there, but I'm sure it would fulfill your gazebo needs. My only complaint about the reception hall itself was the limited number of bathrooms. I can see with a larger event how there'd be a line for the facilities. The staff was all friendly and helpful, an stayed out of your way. The food was provided by the venue, and it was alright. It wasn't all totally to my liking, but that could be the menu the couple selected, or the cooks could have had an off night. But they kept the buffets filled and hot and did a good job otherwise. I can't say that I was OMG blown away by Hawthorne House, but I was certainly impressed. Any bride-to-be that chose this venue would be making a wise decision.

Outdoor weddings at the gazebo are lovely and so are the indoor weddings in the chapel. The bridal suite is spacious and has and area dedicated to hair and make-up. If I were a bride, I would just soak it all up - take breakfast and eat on the balcony outside of the bridal suite, in the morning and enjoy every moment of my time there. I haven't even talked about the food yet... Lets just say, AMAZING! I've had Chicken Marsala, Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Sirloin Tips (my personal fave) and that's just the entrees - the mashed potatoes. The roasted red potatoes, the steamed broccoli, the glazed carrots... There is nothing that I've eaten there that has been less than fantastic. They had an appetizer item at the last wedding I shot there that was so good I looked it up to pass it along because I wasn't sure of the name - it was the Rosemary and Parmesan Shortbread Crackers with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Feta Cheese the crackers were heart shaped and looked awesome on the tray. The ambient light from the chandeliers at night is stunning in the reception area and the natural window light flooding the room during the day is a photographer's dream! If you are looking for a classy, elegant, charming chapel or a floral picturesque outdoor wedding this is definitely worth your time checking it out. Irene and her staff will take very good care of you :)

From my first meeting with Erika I knew I had found the right person to work with because she completely understood the sort of look I wanted. The flowers were stunning (and eco-friendly/local!), and the day-of coordination was by far the best investment I could have made for the wedding. This goes without saying, but weddings are a LOT of work and can be extremely stressful at times. When it came down to the day of the wedding, I wasn't stressed, Erika and Veronica made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be, and it went off without a hitch. Extremely professional, friendly, and creative. Couldn't ask for more.

I had to drive 40 miles out of my way for her pastry chef for the wedding cake, which did not pass along any savings.

I missed several key appointments that a full-service planner is to remind the paying CLIENT on and then turned around and blamed the CLIENT for her lack of organization. It is a good thing I TERMINATED her contract. My wedding turned out beautifully, no thanks to her.

I'll give them kudo's for responding immediately and being extremely helpful and friendly during my initial call. I made arrangements to rent a large tent, was quoted the cost and received a confirmation email. Fast forward to the following day when my sister, Mother of the Bride, called to confirm set up date and time. She was told the "tent" had no sides and if she wanted sides, there would be an additional hefty charge. (Ok, I rented a TENT, which has sides, not a CANOPY which has no sides!) Being a situation where she had no options, she agreed to the addition, hefty charge. (Mind you, I was quoted the price shown on the website with an additional charge per panel for the sides. Now they've added on to that stating the original quote for a tent, not a canopy, did not include sides.) Arrangements were made via phone call between MOTB and personnel at KC Party for set up time and date. They called her back the night before the wedding---during rehearsal, no less-- asking her if she REEEEALLY wanted the tent or would she rather just cancel since the forecast had changed. She told them no, I reeeeally want the tent. They told her they didn't have anyone to set the tent up as early as it was needed and it couldn't be set up til late afternoon. She reminded them the ceremony began at 5pm, so to allow for decorating, table set up, etc. the tent had to be there earlier. They went on to inform her there were only three sides available and blah blah blah, so she agreed, "Ok, let's just cancel it" rather than sit there during rehearsal begging them to follow thru with the tent set up. THEN they informed her that they would only be refunding part of her money since she canceled. (SHE canceled, when they are the ones who called HER asking her if she really needed the tent, which they didn't have available, anyway since they had only 2 sides and we did not rent a freaking CANOPY!) Ultimately, the brides uncle negotiated with them and they refunded all but 75.00, however it should have been a 100 percent, full refund. The stress they caused the bride and Mother of the Bride was certainly worth that much. I would not recommend this company to anyone, ever.
