Perfect Spots for Bridal and Baby Showers

Life’s biggest events call for celebrations. Whether you’re planning a baby shower or a bridal shower, Charlottesville has the perfect venue for any season. You’ll find intimate indoor spaces and gorgeous outdoor settings to suit the size and mood of your group. Let the festivities begin!

Common House

Combining the comfort of a (really nice) home with the elegance of a restaurant, Common House offers the perfect ambience for a shower. Choose among various spaces including a larger event room and the rooftop deck, and let the good times roll!

Old Metropolitan Hall

With a larger upstairs ballroom suitable for larger groups and the more intimate wine cellar downstairs, Old Met on the Downtown Mall offers flexible space and a central location on the Downtown Mall. Historic architectural details like ceiling tiles from the early 1900s add to the charm of the space.

The Farmhouse at Veritas

Charlottesville Insider Bekah Erkel calls this venue "the perfect place for intimate gatherings and celebrations." The garden house is surrounded by vines and a lovely English garden lends additional charm. Then, there's the world class chef providing amazing spreads to pair with Veritas wines. You can even stay overnight!

Pippin Hill Farm & Winery

Beautiful outdoor spaces, breathtaking views and a seasonal menu make Pippin Hill a top pick to shower brides- and mothers-to-be. With a culinary approach "grounded int he locavore, slow-food movement," you and your guests can enjoy dishes like roasted tomato bisque or burrata tartine.

The Space Downtown

A private event space perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Charlottesville, The Space has plenty of room for larger gatherings but can also be intimate enough for smaller affairs. Owned by chefs Tim Burgess and Vincent Derquenne, of Bang!, Bizou and Luce fame, the catered fare is exquisite.
