our values
The Hawthorn commitment
At The Hawthorn, we believe in the power of gathering, of coming together to celebrate love, honor life, and build community. We are unwavering in our commitment to inclusivity. Whether you’re here to marry your soulmate, commemorate a life well lived, or rally around a cause close to your heart, you are welcome here. We embrace and celebrate all people, of every race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and belief. This space was created not just to host events, but to hold space for connection, truth, and joy in all its forms. We are proud to be a house of celebration and belonging and we are deeply grateful for the beautiful diversity of the guests, couples, and communities who walk through our doors.
Still Standing, Still Evolving
Every event at The Hawthorn carries a story — some built on love, others on vision, connection, or community. But at the heart of each one is optimism: the belief that tomorrow can be better than today.
That spirit is deeply woven into the building itself. Originally constructed more than 150 years ago, long before the automobile, these walls have stood through extraordinary chapters of progress: industrial revolutions, civil rights movements, women’s suffrage, cultural shifts, and generations of change that reshaped the world around it.
Today, this historic space opens its doors to progress happening within its walls – celebrating new beginnings, milestone moments, and welcoming the nonprofits, corporations, creatives, and visionaries helping shape a better future.
