Plan the Shower Around Your Guests

Intimate shower celebration setup at Somerhaus, a Cincinnati event venue in Over-the-Rhine

A baby or bridal shower can bring together a meal, gift opening, and time to catch up. Somerhaus has dining tables, lounge furniture, and daylight from a central skylight, giving you several ways to arrange those parts of the celebration.

Bring personal decorations and discuss the setup with the team. Your rental window needs to include decorating and takedown, so plan those alongside guest arrival and food service.

Choose a licensed caterer or explore the preferred vendors for your shower meal. The kitchen is a prep and finishing space. Review seating layouts with the team before finalizing your guest list.

Can we decorate the space for our shower?

Absolutely! We love seeing personal touches that make your shower unique. Many hosts bring florals, balloons, and custom signage to personalize the space. Just keep in mind your time window needs to include setup and takedown. Contact us for decoration guidelines.

Setup and teardown times are built into your rental period. Additional setup or teardown time can be purchased at an hourly rate if needed assuming the schedule permits. All vendors and personal items must be removed by the end of your contracted teardown period unless special arrangements have been made in advance. Contact us to discuss extended setup needs.
