The Hawthorn Portsmouth NH 
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Our story begins in 1858 when Frank Jones arrived in Portsmouth with a dream of brewing ale. Within three decades, The Frank Jones Brewery became the largest ale producer in the country. As ale production expanded, the brewery added a cooperage and scald house to clean the barrels. Workers used scalding hot rocks to sanitize barrels because soap and water would cause them to warp. Once cleaned, the barrels were filled with Jones’ signature ales. The Hawthorn now occupies this Scald House, retaining its original red-brick walls, towering beams, and industrial windows. “Cheers,” then, has a whole new meaning at The Hawthorn. When you raise your glass at your event, you’ll be toasting in a place that’s positively brewing with Portsmouth ale-making heritage and local history.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding reception and dinner were held at the Lemont Hall in downtown Brunswick, Maine, in September 2022. The venue was ideal for our party of 100 guests. We had a great time with delicious food, speeches, and dancing. The staff was outstanding, and their efforts made our evening unforgettable. I highly recommend the Lemont Hall to brides-to-be.

Lia and the exceptional Omni team absolutely made our wedding dreams come true. Even in the pouring rain! We are so grateful to how detail oriented and focused they were on ensuring the day went without a hitch. Some of the team up on the mountain even helped me try to blow dry and pat dry my dress during the cocktail hour! The venue is stunning, the food was delicious, and the Omni team helped us personalize our wedding down to the tiniest details: including fun signature cocktails, little gold animals for the kids, and they even set aside apps for bride/groom during the cocktail hour- otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten to try them! They also greeted each guest off the gondola with an umbrella. Our guests said they have never felt so welcome and everyone had a blast! Thank you Omni- you’ll have a special place in our hearts forever and we look forward to coming back to visit year after year and remember back to the best day ever
