About this venue
Located in the heart of Salem, MA, the Hawthorne Hotel is a full service wedding venue offering an elegant Grand Ballroom, charming guest rooms, seasoned catering staff and a bevy of options for our special event. Whether looking to host a micro-wedding or a large, traditional dinner reception, we will work with you to customize a package that fits your needs and budget. The Hawthorne, a proud member of Historic Hotels of America, features gilded chandeliers, a jazz-inspired dining room, oak-paneled tavern and historic details, but is forward-thinking when it comes to food (gluten-free, vegan, kid-friendly), beverage (local craft beer, award-winning cocktails), decor (up-lighting), activities (tarot readings!) and guest services.
