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.
