5.0We held our wedding here on 10/10/10 and it was fabulous. It was the perfect size for our 75 person wedding. We held the ceremony outside in between the house and the Hearth Room, and the reception inside the hearth room. We also had the guests take a tour of the house to give them something to do while we were taking pictures. The surrounding grounds provided a beautiful background for pictures. If you are doing a sit-down dinner you probably won't want to go much more than 80 guests, it starts to get cramped; but if it were cocktails you could do upwards of 100-120 I think.

Its really quite affordable since you can use it for both reception and ceremony. We loved it and highly recommend it! 5.0We cannot say enough great things about the Hawken House, or Ginger, the manager. Our groom is in the Army, and three changes in his leave meant three changes in the wedding date.and Ginger accommodated us willingly and patiently! She worked with us every step of the way, offering her help and support.

She was a blessing! The venue was perfect for our event, with the wedding in the garden, dinner and dancing inside following. Everything was exactly as they bride and groom wanted, and so reasonably priced!

Yes, the venue is simple, but easy to decorate to your heart's desire - and we did! It was perfect! 4.0The Hawken Hearth Room holds 120 people max and makes for a perfect vintage/garden/historic wedding locale. The Hearth Room is the building behind the historic home. There is a kitchen and they provide tables and chairs. The dressing room is like a closet. But if all you need to do is put on your dress it will be fine.

The historic home can be rented and a docent gives tours to your guests. This was great entertainment while the wedding party & family was taking photos. You can bring your own food and drink which in the world of wedding venues is unique and a huge plus for us. The biggest drawback was communication.

Ginger, the site manager, doesn't really use email. The phone number usually goes to a voice mail system and she has to call you back. I hate playing phone tag and prefer email, so I found communicating with her to be incredibly frustrating. That said, I still feel very happy with my choice of the Hawken House for our wedding. It was elegant, casual, and had a home-spun feel I was looking for. Also, it was really, really affordable. 2.0I would recommend the Garden as a place to get married, it's beautiful, but have the reception somewhere else.

The venue was dirty, and we had to clean in advance. Farm story 2 crop list pdf. It's billed as being able to handle 120 people, but fitting 100 in there was a challenge. They locked up the chairs and tables, and basically left us to fend for ourselves, never checking back to see if things were okay. We paid $125 to have pictures taken at the house, but then were told there would be no sitting, just standing by things. We made the outdoor work, although it was also dirty and filled with trash, cigarette butts, and leaves. The Caretaker assured us it would be cleaned before the wedding, but that never happened, and she never checked back to see that it was.

I know they are a non-profit, but they charged us $1125.00, and we felt like that was twice as much as it was worth. Cancelled our event with just 3 weeks noticeThe Hawken House is run by the Webster Groves Historical Society. The Hearth Room makes money to support it. The Webster Groves Historical Society’s “The Hearth Room” venue cancelled our nonprofit’s paid in full event just 3 weeks out and cancelled all our 8 confirmed 2020 events. We had to scramble to find a venue for Feb 1 and the rest of 2020. We were a great renter per the profuse compliments from the last staffer who left in fall 2019. We had been there 3 1/2 years with 8 events per year.

We are a small nonprofit church. The woman was very rude in the one minute call on a Saturday morning where she told me they were cancelling on us and that she “tore up” my check.

(I had to pay to stop payment on the check since she did not return it to me.) Then after some rudeness from her, she literally hung up on me! Highly unprofessional behavior. I have run events for 30 years for business and have never encountered this before. I called her back and left a message, and she did not return my call. Just literally a one-minute call and hung up on, when we had an oral (and prior written) contract with financial consideration paid, and while I was just trying to understand and inquire about mutually agreeable options with our event just 3 weeks out. She appears to have lied as she told me The Hearth Room is only doing weddings as their excuse for this bad business behavior because their website has not changed and says they do all kinds of events. I was utterly shocked.

We think it is either a bad new staff person and/or religious discrimination as we are non-denominational. Luckily we were able to find a much better venue from a professional business who knows how to treat people. Try out Vue17 and 16West instead - better view and much better business people!
