Uniquely Hawthorn

One beautiful setting. Endless possibilities. A wedding that feels entirely your own.

Located approximately 30 minutes north of Winnipeg, Hawthorn Estates is a private country venue combining beautifully landscaped grounds, distinctive character and modern comforts.

Our signature Marriage Hill includes ceremony benches and an antique signing table and chair.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, our attached Solarium, with remote-controlled clear drop-down sides, provides a beautiful covered alternative for your ceremony, cocktail hour and mingling.

An outdoor microphone, speakers and sound system are also available.

MORE THAN ONE SPACE

Hawthorn offers a variety of spaces for guests to enjoy throughout the day — from Marriage Hill and the Solarium to our reception area, lounges, mezzanine, balcony, landscaped grounds and fire pit.

Your celebration can naturally move from ceremony to cocktails, dinner and an evening around the fire.

MAKE HAWTHORN YOUR OWN

Hawthorn has character before you add a single decoration. Wood details, chandeliers, our stone fireplace, antiques, ambient lighting and surrounding greenery create a warm backdrop that can be dressed up, kept beautifully simple or transformed into something completely different.

We also offer a collection of décor and rental pieces to help personalize your celebration.

Your wedding doesn't have to look like every other wedding held here. We want it to look like yours.

BAR & BEVERAGE SERVICE

At Hawthorn, you have the flexibility to purchase and provide your own alcohol, giving you greater control over your selections and budget.

Couples are responsible for purchasing their alcohol and obtaining the required liquor permit.

For corkage rates and details on what's included, please request our current pricing package.

A FEW MORE DETAILS

COME EXPERIENCE HAWTHORN

There is something about Hawthorn that photographs can't completely capture — the privacy, character and way our spaces come together to create a celebration that feels entirely your own.

We would love to show you around.

The BEST Venue in Manitoba!

My husband and I knew the second we stepped into Hawthorn Estates and met Tammy that this was where we wanted to have our wedding. Any review I write won't do justice to just how stunning the building and grounds are - you MUST see it in person to realize that the photos don't come close to how absolutely beautiful it really is. On top of it being absolutely gorgeous, you couldn't find two better hosts than Tammy and Robert. They are two of the kindest, most thoughtful and helpful people we've had the pleasure of meeting, and you can tell how much they not only care for their venue, but for each and every couple that comes through their doors. They are consummate professionals who are there for you every step of the way - quick responses, incredibly flexible, and there day of to make sure everything runs smoothly. We are forever grateful that they opened their place up to us to host our family and friends, and we couldn't recommend them more. You MUST check out Hawthorn Estates - there's truly no better place in the province to have your wedding, and no better hosts to walk you through your big day!

Dream wedding

Tammy and Rob were incredibly helpful throughout our entire engagement. They were always so responsive and friendly. They were very helpful with suggestions along the way. The venue was absolutely stunning. Our wedding was in the fall but it's beautiful year-round. So many beautiful places for pictures.

It's also nice that there are options for all weather, with the outdoor marriage hill, the covered solarium, and the two-story indoor area. This put our minds at ease with the unpredictable Manitoba weather.

Overall, I would highly recommend this venue.

Dream Wedding

We had our wedding here in July and cannot say enough great things about it! The owners Tammy and Rob are the most fantastic people, they went above and beyond for us and even set up a cute little beer station outside as it was 30° day. Even while the pandemic was forever changing our plans, Tammy was so quick to give us updates!
The venue is beautiful anywhere you go and our guests loved how much space there was inside and out! It even rained a touch and all our guests were still able to spend time outside under the solarium. We couldn’t have asked for better and it really was our dream wedding come true!

Beyond beautiful

Hawthorn is a beautiful venue. We had to reschedule our wedding and finding a date that worked for our venue was the most important thing to us. Rob & Tammy are the most friendly, helpful, and accommodating people we know!

Beautiful Venue with Sincere and Genuine Owners!

Tammy and Rob are some of the most genuine and hard working venue owners out there! I love working with them every chance I get because they are so accommodating, genuine, helpful and do everything that they can to make each couples wedding as special as can be! They truly care about each couple that walks in their door and they literally don't stop working during each event. They are fully present and are incredibly kind and sincere, as a Wedding Planner they are an absolute pleasure to work with!
