A Charming Space for Celebrations

The dining room and sunroom are in the main house, separate from the guest house, so this private space will be all yours for the afternoon. We can accommodate up to 28 guests for sit-down events, or up to 45 guests for appetizers and mingling. You are welcome to provide your own catering, or we will happily cater for groups of 12 or greater.

Frequently Asked Questions about Showers

Where would my shower take place?

Your shower would be hosted in our warm and welcoming dining room and sunroom, a charming space filled with natural light and views of our courtyard gardens. It’s an inviting, boutique-style setting that feels both elegant and relaxed — ideal for gathering with the people you love most.

What is your capacity?

We can accommodate up to 30 guests for a seated shower or up to 50 guests for a standing-style reception so your guests can mingle comfortably and enjoy the space.

What time is the space available?

Our space is available beginning at 12:00 pm, once our morning guests have enjoyed their breakfast. This allows us time to prepare the rooms so everything feels fresh, welcoming, and ready for your celebration.

What is the cost?

We offer simple pricing based on the size of your gathering: For showers of up to 30 guests, the venue rental is $600 plus tax for three hours. For showers of 31–50 guests, the venue rental is $1,000 plus tax for three hours.

What if I need more time?

If you’d like to linger a little longer, additional time may be added in advance: For gatherings of up to 30 guests, additional time is available for $100 per hour. For gatherings of 31–50 guests, additional time is available for $200 per hour.

How does setup and cleanup work?

Your access to the space begins at your reserved start time and concludes at your reserved end time. If you’d like a little extra time for setup or lingering afterward, additional time may be added for an extra fee, pending availability. At the end of your gathering, we simply ask that trash be placed in the receptacles provided. Please let us know in advance if you’d like to add extra time so we can make sure it’s available for you.

Do you provide beverages?

Yes! We offer a complimentary self-serve beverage station featuring coffee, iced tea, and water for showers of up to 30 guests held in our Dining Room and Sunroom — a lovely addition to keep your guests comfortable and refreshed.

Are tables and chairs included?

Tables and chairs for up to 30 guests are included when your shower is hosted in our Dining Room and Sunroom, making it easy to focus on enjoying your celebration rather than coordinating rentals.

Am I allowed to bring my own catering?

Absolutely! You are welcome to bring in the caterer of your choice. Please note that kitchen access is not available, so all food should arrive ready to serve. This allows you the flexibility to select menu options that best fit your vision for the day.

How do I reserve my date?

Your date is secured with a $250 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance, along with a $200 damage deposit, will be charged to the card on file one week prior to your event. Dates remain available until a deposit is received, so we recommend reserving early to ensure your preferred date is held just for you.

What is the difference between the booking deposit and the damage deposit?

Booking deposit A $250 non-refundable deposit is collected at the time of booking to reserve your date. This amount is applied toward your total venue rental fee. Damage deposit A $200 damage deposit is charged to the card on file along with your remaining balance one week prior to your event. This deposit is fully refundable, provided the space is left in good condition with no property damage.

Any other ideas to make my event even more special?

Available upon request — just let us know in advance what you’d like! - A 6’ buffet table with tablecloth for your food, at no additional charge - A silver beverage tub on a stand for chilled drinks (we simply ask that you provide the ice) Please let us know ahead of time if you’d like us to have either (or both!) of these ready for your event.
