About
Tucked away on 11 private acres in Parkville, Missouri, Hawthorne House has been a beloved part of Kansas City weddings since 1997. Conveniently located between downtown Kansas City and the airport, our venue was designed with weddings in mind—offering a blend of elegance, comfort, and ease.
With both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, couples never have to stress about room flips or complicated transitions. Our charming chapel seats up to 250 guests, while our expansive reception hall welcomes up to 300, ensuring a seamless celebration in every season. Two spacious getting ready suites, paved onsite parking, and all the essentials—tables, chairs, glassware, and bartenders—are already included. Best of all, we keep things simple with no added sales tax or service fees on our facility fee.
For over 26 years, couples have called Hawthorne House their dream wedding venue in Kansas City. Whether your vision leans timeless and romantic or modern and fresh, our dedicated team is here to ensure every detail feels effortless—so you can focus on the joy of the day.

Reviews of Hawthorne House
Professional Network & Endorsements
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.
