Post-Wedding Brunch at The Hawthorne Hotel | Salem, MA
Weddings
This New Jersey-based couple, originally from the North Shore, wanted to celebrate their marriage with local friends and family in a way that felt festive, personal, and rooted in Salem. They envisioned a memorable post-wedding brunch where guests could gather, enjoy great food, and experience the charm of downtown Salem.

Post-Wedding Brunch Planning & Vendor Coordination
Venue: Hawthorne Hotel, Salem
The lower level of the historic Hawthorne Hotel in downtown Salem was the chosen venue, thanks to its unique, ship-like ambiance and central location. This allowed out-of-town guests to easily explore Salem’s downtown attractions and festivities. We collaborated closely with the Hawthorne’s catering staff to craft a delicious brunch menu that everyone enjoyed.
What I Helped With
I supported the planning process by coordinating with the Hawthorne Hotel’s catering team, helping shape the brunch experience, recommending entertainment and photo booth vendors, and making sure the event details came together smoothly.
Because the lower level does not have natural light, lighting was an important part of the design. Uplighting helped create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the DJ, photo booth, and props added energy and fun for guests.
The result was a joyful North Shore homecoming celebration that felt personal, welcoming, and full of connection.
