A Bridal & Baby Shower Venue in Reading, PA
Honor her in the parlors of a historic 1877 Victorian-era mansion — photo-ready rooms, full table service, and a private setting that makes a shower feel like an occasion.
Beyond the Banquet Room
A Setting That Does the Decorating for You
Showers deserve better than a fire-hall folding table or a crowded restaurant corner. At The Inn at Centre Park, your guests step into the Wilhelm Mansion — ornate woodwork, fireplaces, gardens, and natural light that flatter every photo. Bring your favors and a theme if you like; the room itself is already the centerpiece.
We host bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and milestone parties of every kind — each with our tables, linens, china, full setup, and an in-house coordinator included.
Why Hosts Choose the Inn
Private, elegant, and genuinely easy to plan.
Photo-Ready Rooms
Victorian parlors, gardens, and a grand staircase — beautiful backdrops without renting a single prop.
Private Event Space
The first floor of the mansion is yours for the celebration — no shared dining rooms.
Table Service Included
Tables, chairs, linens, china, stemware, flatware, setup, and breakdown are all part of the rental.
Brunches & Teas
Morning and afternoon celebrations work beautifully here — ask about brunch- and tea-style menus.
Coordinator Included
Our in-house event coordinator helps with the layout, timing, and menu, so the host gets to enjoy the party too.
Every Milestone
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirements — if it deserves a toast, it fits here.

Shower & Party Questions
How many guests can a shower include?
The mansion comfortably hosts seated gatherings for up to about 70 guests and cocktail-style receptions for more — well beyond a typical shower guest list. We will plan the layout for your headcount.
Is food included?
Events at the inn are catered in-house with full table service. Brunch, tea, luncheon, and dinner-style menus all work — we will plan it with you.
Can we decorate?
Yes — bring your theme, favors, and florals. The mansion's rooms need very little added, and we handle setup and breakdown of tables and place settings.
Can we serve mimosas or wine?
Yes. The inn is BYOB with a bar setup and service fee of $10 per person covering a bartender, mixers, juices, soft drinks, ice, glassware, and setup, plus 6% PA sales tax and a 20% service charge.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular weekend dates book up, especially in spring and fall. Call or text us at 610-374-8557 with your date and we will check availability right away.
