Baby Shower · 30 guests · April 2025
We wanted a laid back private space to host a baby shower brunch for around 30 people and Shaw's second floor space was the perfect choice. The manager communicated promptly, accommodated requests, and it was easy to finalize the specifications for the event. The prices were extremely reasonable for the area. The buffet brunch and mimosas were delicious, and the food and drinks were presented in a nice way. The space allowed everyone to comfortably mingle and enjoy themselves. We were able to control the music with our Spotify account which was a nice perk. The staff and bartender were friendly and helpful. Shaw's was the perfect space for what we were looking for.
