Hartzell House Bed & Breakfast, in Addison, will host a Wreath & Remembrance Workshop & Dinner on December 13, 2025, inviting guests to honor loved ones through creativity and connection. The wreath-making workshop will take place from 2 to 4 p.m., followed by an Italian buffet dinner at 6 p.m.

Co-owners and innkeepers Melissa and Robert Angelini have long welcomed visitors to their Laurel Highlands inn, known for its casual luxury, vintage charm and gourmet breakfasts. With this event, they expand their mission from lodging to offering restorative retreat experiences.

“Participants will create handcrafted wreaths as a tribute to those they’ve lost—a beautiful reminder of what remains evergreen in our lives,” says Melissa Angelini, a certified life coach and grief educator. “The evening concludes with a comforting Italian buffet dinner, featuring my signature lasagna and seasonal dishes prepared with care.”

The $80 program can be enjoyed as a standalone experience or paired with an overnight stay at the inn. Beyond this December gathering, Hartzell House now serves as a venue for retreat leaders, coaches and creatives seeking a peaceful setting for small group experiences.

“Whether guests come to rest, reflect or reconnect, Hartzell House offers a place where healing and joy can coexist,” Angelini adds.
