FAQs about Top Baby Shower Venues in New York City, NY

Rental prices in New York will suit every budget as prices for venues range from the affordable to the pricey. Most places charge per hour with rates ranging between $65 and $2000 per hour. Another popular option is choosing an event package from the venue. These packages are charged on a per person basis and rates in NYC range from $30 to $65 per person. (Based on data from Tagvenue.)

The most convenient way to get around New York is the subway. Wherever there is no subway, you can always catch a bus or a yellow taxi. For anyone travelling from outside of the city, Penn Station and Union Station will be the best choices as they both offer railway service to Long Island and New Jersey.

Manhattan’s SoHo, Chelsea or Midtown, to name a few, are great areas filled with venues of all sizes, that are ideal for a successful baby shower. In the East Village, Upper East Side and Harlem you will also be able to find fantastic places for your event. We suggest you also check out Brooklyn for a great selection of spots. Areas such as Williamsburg, Carroll Gardens or Brooklyn Heights boast restaurants, cafes, backyards and lofts where you could host a unique baby shower. We also can’t forget about Queens’ areas. Flushing, Astoria, Corona or Jackson Heights are all home to fantastic venues ideal for diaper showers.

To help you with your choice and perhaps inspire you a bit, we are happy to share some of our favorites:

  • Designer Soho Loft Space at The Farm Soho - This space near Canal Street is ideal for a special intimate gathering, with plenty of flexibility to set it up as you please! You can organize your own catering to keep the baby shower fully personalized.
  • Gran Morsi - Gran Morsi’s main dining room will be ideal for your unforgettable baby shower in the heart of Tribeca. The restaurant will provide you and your guests a dining experience like you’ve never had before.

Your Guide to Renting Baby Shower Venues in New York City, NY

Regardless of who is hosting the event - a close friend, a family member, or the mom-to-be herself, baby showers in NYC can be fun, stylish, and stress-free with the right plan. Here's how to pull it off:

1. Time it right

Plan the shower for the second trimester. It’s early enough to avoid the exhaustion of late pregnancy, and gives you time to enjoy the event and prepare afterward. Midday events—especially brunches—are popular in NYC.

2. Choose a venue that fits your guest list

Start by deciding how many people you're inviting. Then match the venue to the vibe:

  • Small gathering (under 20 guests): Try a private room in a cozy café or tearoom in Brooklyn or the West Village.
  • Larger guest list (30+ guests): Look into lofts in SoHo or private dining rooms in Midtown. Remember to book early—weekend slots fill fast in NYC.

3. Keep the decor simple and seasonal

Choose two main colors and stick to them for balloons, flowers, and tableware. You don’t need to follow the pink-or-blue tradition—try sunny yellow in summer or forest green in fall. Many venues let you bring your own decorations, so make it personal.

4. Add a fun activity or two

Games are totally optional, but they do help break the ice:

  • Diaper-changing races
  • Baby food taste test
  • A photo booth with props
  • Guess the due date or who’ll do night feeds

You can also ask guests to bring a childhood book instead of a card and write a note inside. It’s a sweet way to start the baby’s first library.

5. Don’t forget the food and drinks

NYC venues usually offer flexible catering. Decide what works best for your crowd and the time of day:

  • Morning event? Brunch with pastries, juice, and coffee.
  • Afternoon or evening? Go for light bites and drinks—mocktails or wine if you’re open to serving alcohol.

Some venues offer full-service catering, while others let you bring your own or hire a vendor.

6. Send invites early

Aim to send invites 6–8 weeks in advance. Digital invites with RSVPs make it easy to keep track of everything.

Planning something private? NYC has plenty of charming small venues perfect for a cozy and stylish baby shower:

  • Lovebirds Wine Bar + Bistro, Greenpoint: A warm, rustic space with seating for 35 for wine and bites with close friends.
  • Form + Flow Studio, Long Island City: A bright, modern space that fits up to 40 guests. It is great for a DIY setup with your own catering.
  • Event Venue NYC Manhattan 22nd Floor, Garment District: This private penthouse-style venue fits 30 and feels exclusive without a sky-high price tag.
  • Tensai Udon Restaurant, Midtown: A sweet pick for fans of Japanese cuisine. It seats 24 and works well for brunch-style gatherings.
  • Bat Haus Coworking & Event Space, Brooklyn: A creative loft-like setting with seating for 40. Known for its laid-back vibe and BYO flexibility.

Outdoor Baby Shower Venues in New York City

Outdoor baby showers are a hit in warmer months. You can enjoy the sunshine, fresh air, and tons of Instagram-worthy moments. These venues offer beautiful outdoor options:

  • Black Tap – LOT 15 & LOOKUP UP Rooftop, Garment District: Enjoy rooftop views, open-air seating for 85, and customizable per-person packages.
  • The Fold Property, Greenpoint: A flexible loft with access to an outdoor terrace. Perfect for a casual yet stylish garden party vibe.

  • Madeline’s, Greenpoint: With its charming courtyard and cozy layout, this venue works well for semi-outdoor gatherings.
  • Skylighthall, Queens: Light-filled and airy, this event space has indoor-outdoor versatility and great value for the price.

What is a Realistic Budget for a Baby Shower in NYC?

Planning a baby shower in NYC can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000+, depending on how big you go. If you're keeping it simple, say, 20 to 30 guests in a small studio or café with light snacks, you can expect to spend around $800 to $1,500 total. That might include a few hours of venue hire, decorations, some finger food, and non-alcoholic drinks. Going the DIY route with your own food or decorations can keep things on the lower end of the range.

For a more polished event, maybe at a trendy private bar or private dining space with 40–60 guests, catered meals, and custom decor—you're probably looking at $2,500 to $4,000 or more. Minimum spend venues, especially in Manhattan or Brooklyn, can start at $2,000 and go up from there, especially on weekends. And don’t forget to add in the “extras”: custom cakes, a photographer, or baby shower games and favors can easily tack on another few hundred dollars.

The best way to stay on budget? Start with your guest count and build from there. Pick a venue that fits your group size without overpaying for unused space, and decide early if you'd rather go all-inclusive or piece things together yourself.

I did my first baby shower here and i have to say there was more pros than cons. 1/10 overall I’ll give this place a 9. It was very clean , lights were beautiful, staff was friendly, the ac was amazing & contract was easy to understand ( signed it the same day of seeing it). Loved loved communicating with April . Any and every interaction I had with her things was smooth and easy and not stressful not complex. Would definitely do more events here . The free parking for all my guests was definitely a major plus as well.

Booked 2nd Floor at Xu's Public House
5.0
Xu's Public House was the perfect venue to host my baby shower. Hinman and the manager, Raymond were accommodating to my requests for seating, menu choices and time to set up/down. My guests were impressed by the venue space. It's a beautiful, private space even without your own decorations but I was also able to bring and add decorations that day. Raymond made sure that my guests with dietary restrictions and food allergies were accommodated for, and everyone was able to enjoy a delicious meal. There was enough food (and more) for everyone. My husband and I had eaten at Xu's Public House a few times before the event and the food quality at our baby shower was no different from our amazing private dining experiences. (We specifically chose this venue for the food. The beautiful venue space was an added bonus!) My guests also enjoyed and complimented the food and many were able to take leftovers home, which they appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend Xu's Public House for your next private event, for the space, food and service.
