Best Event Spaces & Baby Shower Venues in West Michigan

Grand Rapids has many great baby shower venues (or bridal shower or any special occasion). 

Some of these locations are free or inexpensive and some may be more of an investment–you can pick what works for you.

Create a memorable theme by hosting at a museum or zoo. If you want to do your own designing, local parks with covered shelters are great backdrops.

And for the best food, a restaurant is a great baby shower venue. You can find top pics in this article, but your favorite restaurant may also have event space, or maybe just cater!

Ottawa County Parks

Beautiful lodges at many Ottawa County area parks that you can rent for your own private event, in addition to reserving covered picnic spaces.

Restaurants with Event Spaces

Restaurants are great baby shower venues! They really take all the guesswork out of planning.

Not only do you not need to clean your house–you don’t need to cook either! Many of these locations will provide catering-type dining, otherwise your party guests can order what they’d like while you just pick up the bill.

Please call the restaurants directly to ask any questions you may have to be sure it’s going to be a good fit for your shower.
