Hosting Intimate Baby Showers in Joanne’s Room at Kersey House Charleston

Every baby shower deserves a setting that feels both welcoming and personal. Joanne’s Room at Kersey House offers just that balance. Tucked upstairs in our historic home, this private space is connected to Donna’s Room and includes two vanities and a full bathroom. It gives the guest of honor a comfortable place to prepare and provides families with a quiet hub to gather before or during the celebration.

Joanne’s Room at Kersey House offers an intimate, comfortable setting for baby showers, with connected spaces like Donna’s Room for flexibility. Guests enjoy chef-led catering, professional service, and simple décor options, while nearby parking and verandas make the event easy and welcoming for families celebrating a new arrival.

A Space Designed for Closeness

Joanne’s Room is sized for smaller groups, making it an inviting setting for baby showers. The room connects directly to Donna’s Room, which means you can expand if your guest list grows. If you’d like even more space, the courtyard is another option. This flexibility allows you to design the event to match the tone you want, whether that’s an intimate circle of friends or a slightly larger group that still feels close.

Ready Rooms That Add Comfort

One advantage of hosting at Kersey House is that everything you need is already under one roof. Joanne’s Room connects to Donna’s Room, and just steps away are Donald’s Room and the Family Room. Families sometimes use these extra spaces for children to play or for quiet conversations. Having multiple parlors nearby gives the shower a relaxed feel, since guests can move as they like without leaving the event.

Simple Touches that Feel Personal

Decor guidelines are designed to give families freedom without complication. Flowers, candles in containers, and lighting are all welcome, and because Joanne’s Room already carries its own character, only a few small details are needed to make it personal. Families often add floral centerpieces or candles, and the room feels ready. The restrictions are easy to follow: nothing can be attached to walls, and candles must be enclosed, which keeps the space safe and flexible.

A Culinary Style That Feels Special

Baby showers often balance casual celebration with a sense of occasion. Here, that balance is built in. Chef Nico Romo, South Carolina’s only French Master Chef, and Executive Chef Remi Lorgoulloux, with his membership in the Académie Culinaire de France, lead the culinary team. Menus draw from French traditions and Southern hospitality, giving the meal an elegance that families appreciate. It’s food that feels celebratory while still approachable for every guest.

A Natural Flow for the Day

Baby showers in Joanne’s Room move naturally from one moment to the next. Guests arrive and take their places in a comfortable parlor setting. Food and drinks are served by the professional staff, and then attention shifts to gift opening, where everyone feels close to the expectant parent. Photos often follow, with families stepping onto the verandas lit by Charleston lanterns or walking to nearby Azalea Park. Afterward, guests return indoors to continue celebrating together.

Service That Keeps Things Easy

Our professional staff includes event managers, captains, bartenders, and waitstaff. For a shower, that means food and drinks appear without effort from the hosts, and transitions happen smoothly. Families don’t have to assign jobs to friends or worry about keeping the kitchen stocked. The service team carries the rhythm so the host can stay fully present, enjoying the conversations and celebrating the baby on the way.

Easy Arrival for Family and Friends

Making arrival simple is an important part of hosting. Guests can use free street parking close to the venue, the Summerville Parking Garage just two blocks away, or the Bank of South Carolina lot after 5 p.m. That variety keeps things manageable for showers where grandparents, friends, and parents with young children may all be arriving separately. With these options, families can focus on greeting loved ones instead of coordinating complicated directions or transportation.
