About the Col. James Hartshorne House

Col. James Hartshorne House
41 Church Street
Wakefield, MA 01880

The Hartshorne House dates to approximately 1681 and is recognized as Wakefield’s oldest publicly owned building.

The historic property is owned by the Town of Wakefield and managed by the Col. James Hartshorne House Association.

The house sits along the shore of Lake Quannapowitt and includes historic interior rooms, grounds and gardens that provide a distinctive setting for smaller gatherings and special occasions.

For event flower delivery, please provide the event type, recipient or couple’s name, event date, start time and a reliable event contact whenever possible.

Wedding Flowers for the Hartshorne House

The Hartshorne House officially rents its space for weddings and receptions, making this one of Wakefield’s most distinctive historic wedding locations.

Ward’s can design personal wedding flowers and appropriate tabletop pieces to complement the intimate historic setting.

Bridal Bouquets

Fresh bridal bouquets designed to coordinate with the wedding palette, season and overall floral style.

Historic-House Wedding Flower Planning

Because the Hartshorne House is a carefully preserved historic property, wedding flowers should be planned with the building’s rules and scale in mind.

Current rental rules state that:

  • No open flame is permitted inside the house
  • Tape, tacks and nails may not be used for decorations
  • Furniture may only be rearranged with caretaker approval
  • Rental companies must coordinate delivery and setup with the caretakers
  • Caterers must also coordinate arrangements with the caretakers

For this type of venue, finished tabletop arrangements, handheld bouquets and other freestanding floral pieces are generally easier to accommodate than decorations that need to be attached to the historic structure.

Ward’s wedding-service limitation: Ward’s can provide bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and appropriate tabletop floral pieces. We do not perform floral installations that require ladder work or ladder access.
