Can I give more than 5 stars?

Can I give more than 5 stars? First of all, Hawthorne House is absolutely the most beautiful and most unique venue I have ever seen in Houston! The historic mansion in Montrose is super classy, with its multiple staircases and fireplaces. There are so many great photo ops! The manicured lawns and spacious first floor of the home offer a variety of locations for your ceremony or celebration, even if it rains! Kassidy and Chris are so sweet and easy to work with. They bend over backwards to accommodate! I love being able to bring in my own wedding planner, caterer, bar, florist, cake, and entertainment rather than being stuck with whatever options a full-service venue has there. It really is the perfect venue for the most memorable day.

Hawthorne House

Gorgeous venue in the middle of Houston with a classic southern style. Perfect for our wedding. The backyard is a hidden oasis complete with pool, and plenty of room for festivities. Staff was awesome, and catered to our every need. A+.

Hawthorne House is a dream venue!

We hosted a big birthday milestone there with a seated dinner and celebration. Incredible venue! The fact that you get the entire house is such a deal. It is so charming and the location in Montrose is perfect. Thanks for a great event
