From Bridal to Baby Showers – Barrington’s White House Says Welcome

Barrington's White HousePrivate Events

Celebrate your family’s new beginnings – from bridal showers to baby showers – at Barrington’s White House! It’s a warm and welcoming setting for honoring the new bride or couple, and for celebrating the new arrival. Your guests will feel right at home from the moment they enter. And the mansion can be all yours, all afternoon, for a truly unique and intimate gathering.

Shower the Bride with Love

Here’s to love, laughter and happily ever after! Our house offers a special place to enjoy an afternoon with the bride and all the important people in her life.

The adjoining rooms of the first floor are perfect for a sit-down brunch or luncheons. Scatter tables throughout the adjoining parlor rooms and fireplace room. Guests can mingle and enjoy each other’s company. And, by adding some special decorations to the bride’s chair, she will truly feel like Queen for the Day.

For larger family gatherings, consider the gorgeous third-floor ballroom. With its striking 16-foot arched ceilings, classic styling and golden accents, it’s a lovely space for a sit-down meal or a more casual food station set-up. Add in some extra fun with a customized bar package, like a Mimosa, Bloody Mary or Bubbly Bar.

For Intimate Baby Showers

Help the mother-to-be get ready for her bundle of joy! The mansion’s first floor, with its adjoining parlor rooms, fireplace rooms and large catering kitchen, will make you feel like you’re hosting this intimate and important gathering right in your own home. Consider vintage table settings for a tea-time ambiance just like the lady of the house, Julia Robertson, would have held. Or choose a unique table set-up in the larger space of the elegant third-floor ballroom. Either way, Barrington’s White House offers a private and elegant space to call your own.
