Yes. Our regular docent-led tour schedule is every Sunday, April-October, at 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm and the suggested donation is $5 per adult.

Yes, the first floor of the house (including the restroom) are wheelchair accessible.

Any food and alcohol served must come with liability insurance, which can be provided by your bartender, caterer, grocery store, or event policy available through your insurance provider (approximately $100-$150).

You may use a consignment liquor provider which allows you to return unopened beverages. The pricing is as competitive (if not better) than a typical retail liquor store. We do require a TIPP certified and insured bartender.

The upstairs “getting ready,” bathroom, and photography rooms are only accessible to you and a few of your pre-selected family/friends.

Yes. There is also a manager available to you for all your questions and concerns during your planning process.

You or your vendors are, but we can help at an hourly rate.

No. There are 10 spots for your use onsite. Street parking and nearby city lots are available and not metered. Spots at the adjacent Curtis Hall parking lot may be available via a tax deductible donation made by you (typically $100).

No. However, with your approval and review, we kindly request the use of a few of your pictures either that we take or that your photographer takes for our marketing efforts. All photos will be credited, of course!

Yes, however many guests find that the House itself needs very little additional décor. Let us know what you are thinking and please be mindful of our historic house and landscape.

No candles are allowed. Many events utilize LED lights for additional ambiance. With prior approval, a small contained candle may be used for a ceremony. Grills and outdoor heaters are allowed but you or your caterer must obtain a city permit, and they must be placed at least 20′ from any structure.

Many tents come with sides that keep out the rain, and heaters for colder weather. A smaller tent can also be added to your primary tent to store the dining tables during your ceremony. You may have use of the House’s interior, keeping in mind that some guests may have to stand and all guests may not fit within the same room.

We would recommend booking for outdoor events up till mid-fall. Columbus Day weekend is a good time as it may allow your out-of-town guests more time to travel and enjoy the gorgeous New England fall foliage.
