Meet the Hawthorne House Team

 
 

ELIZABETH | General Manager & Co-Owner

Hey, friends! Elizabeth here. I have the pleasure of being a co-owner and the General Manager of this beautiful, 24 year old wedding venue we love to call Hawthorne House. I started my career in nonprofit event planning, moved to wedding planning and have landed here to bring your vision to life! You’ll likely chat with me when you inquire and potentially meet me at the tour! Once you decide to start your forever at Hawthorne House, our Venue Manager and I will both work with you throughout the planning process via our Online Personalized Client Portal. My go-to coffee order is a Pikes Place with one pump of pumpkin and a splash of creamer. I burn Balsam Fir candles all year round (even if it drives Wade crazy) and my fave vacation spot will always and forever be Scottsdale. Thank you for choosing to say I do at our family run wedding venue- we can’t wait to see you get #HitchedAtHawthorne! [Photo credit: Elizabeth LaDean Photography]

 
 
 
 

KIM | Venue Manager

Hi, everyone! My name is Kim and I am the Venue Manager here at Hawthorne House- you’ll almost always meet me as you kick off planning since I host our tours. Once you decide that Hawthorne House is the perfect place for you to say “I do”, I’ll be the person communicating with you through the next steps and chatting with you at your final walk through! This gorgeous venue has always had a special place in my heart, as it’s where my husband and I got married in 2017. At the time I was an elementary school teacher, but since having my daughter in 2019 I split my time as a stay-at-home mom and helping prepare for your special day at Hawthorne House! In my free time you’ll almost always find me with my nose in a book, digging around in the garden or cooking for my family. [Photo credit: Elizabeth LaDean Photography]

WADE | Operations Manager & Co-Owner

Hey-yo! I’m Wade, a co-owner and the Operations Manager of Hawthorne House. It’s a well-rounded job thanks to the Honey Do list my wife, Elizabeth, gives me. As you’re walking around on your tour you may see me changing lightbulbs, fixing running toilets or driving around on the Gator cleaning up the grounds. You may even see me bartend from time to time! My drink of choice we serve would be gin and tonic, my favorite cake flavor is vanilla almond and in my free time you can catch me at the golf course. See ya around!

Hello, there! We are Curt & Pam and we thoroughly enjoy being co-owners of this family run wedding venue. You'll see us pop in from time to time, and on weekends when we aren't hosting weddings, you'll certainly find us painting, building and tweaking things around the property! Our hobbies are traveling, spending time with family and football! [Photo credit: Elizabeth LaDean Photography]
