A bright room in the heart of downtown Rome, with full-height windows and soft daylight all afternoon. The Meeting Room is made for the kind of afternoon a baby shower should be.
Hosting a baby shower at home means moving furniture, hiding the laundry, and cleaning up while your guests are still hugging the mom-to-be goodbye. The Meeting Room at River Arts Venue gives you a finished, photo-ready room downtown instead: you bring the people and the presents, and you walk out when it's over.
Bright and open on the main floor, the Meeting Room gets natural light through a wall of full-height windows. It comfortably seats up to 50 for grazing tables, games, and gift-opening, and opens to 75 if you go reception style. It's a short walk from Broad Street, so out-of-town family can make a weekend of it.
The right size for most baby showers: seats 50, or 75 reception style, with a refreshment station and a screen for an ultrasound slideshow.
The Big Room comes with it: up to 200 with a full kitchen. For a big, blended-family shower or a co-ed "sip and see," take over the main event space.
The Meeting Room seats up to 50, the right size for most baby showers. For a larger shower, the whole building brings in the Big Room, which opens up to 200 and includes the upstairs Loft.
