Frequently Asked Questions About Our Shower Venue
FAQ
Common Questions About Baby & Bridal Shower Bookings
Both. Bridal showers almost always include a mimosa or Bellini bar — we offer fresh-pressed
orange juice, grapefruit juice, peach puree, and a sparkling wine selection. Baby showers, however, more often go with a mocktail bar for the guest of honor and her pregnant or non-drinking friends, plus a beer-and-wine option for guests who want a drink. We can run either format, or both sides by side.
Yes. The private back room is fully enclosed and acoustically separated from the main dining room — as a result, guests can hear each other across an eight-person round table without raised voices. Games like “don’t say baby” or the toilet-paper-dress contest work without the noise of the bar bleeding in. Additionally, we can keep music off entirely or run light background instrumental music.
Yes. Personal decor is welcome — table centerpieces, themed napkins, balloon arrangements, a custom backdrop for photos, and a dessert or favor station all work beautifully. Furthermore, we provide a dedicated gift table near the entry and a separate dessert table if you want to display a custom cake or cupcake setup. However, we kindly ask that nothing be adhered to walls or surfaces, and that glitter or confetti not be used in the space.
Shower Booking Details
We typically book the private back room for groups of 20 or more on weekends. For smaller groups (10 to 18 guests), however, we can do a semi-private section of the main floor with a reserved area, or look at weekday lunch availability where the full back room is easier to book at a smaller count. As a result, Sunday afternoons are often the easiest small-group window.
Yes, and we’re seeing more of these. The format usually shifts a bit: heavier food, an actual bar rather than just mimosas, and a longer afternoon window that allows for both the gift opening and a more party-feel back half. Essentially, the room and the menu are the same; the timing and the drink package adjust. Therefore, simply tell us at booking that it’s a couple’s shower, and we’ll plan accordingly.
