Milestones worth celebrating all on their own.
A bridal shower. A baby shower. A wedding shower. A sprinkle. A beautiful brunch surrounded by family and friends. These aren’t simply events on the way to something else.
Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Kensington/Berlin has become a special gathering place for families throughout Central Connecticut looking for a beautiful setting for bridal showers, baby showers, wedding showers and shower brunches and luncheons.
Our welcoming country club atmosphere, flexible event spaces, personalized menus and experienced team make it easy to create a celebration that feels special without feeling overdone.
You do not need to be a member to host an event at Shuttle Meadow, so you can make the club part of your family’s celebration even if you’ve never been here before.
This is what we do.
There’s a reason showers feel so at home at Shuttle Meadow. They’re about gathering. They bring together different generations of family and friends around a table. They need enough room for conversation, gifts, photographs and all the little details you’ve spent months planning, but they should still feel intimate and connected.
That’s exactly the kind of celebration our club does beautifully. Whether you’re planning a bridal shower for 35, a baby shower luncheon for 50, or bringing a larger group of family and friends together, we’ll help you find the room, setup and menu that fit your celebration.
Before “I Do,” there’s plenty to celebrate.
A bridal shower is one of those rare occasions when friends and family from every part of someone’s life come together in the same room. Give them somewhere beautiful to do it.
Host a traditional bridal shower luncheon, elegant brunch, couples shower or relaxed afternoon celebration at Shuttle Meadow.
We’ll work with you to explore the details that bring everything together:
- Brunch or luncheon menus
- Room and table configurations
- Gift and display areas
- Dessert and cake tables
- Cocktails and beverages
- Décor considerations
- Seating for different generations
- Space for photographs, games and traditions
The result should feel polished but personal, because no two brides, couples or families celebrate exactly the same way.
There’s always room for one more reason to celebrate.
A new baby has a way of bringing everyone together before they even arrive. Shuttle Meadow offers a warm, welcoming setting for baby showers, baby sprinkles, reveals, couples showers and family celebrations throughout the year.
Plan a Sunday brunch. Gather everyone for lunch. Create a beautiful afternoon around food, gifts and conversation.
Whether you’re welcoming a first baby, celebrating another addition to the family or throwing a shower for parents-to-be together, we’ll help you create an event that fits the occasion.
Two of our favorite ways to shower someone with love.
There’s a reason brunch and lunch work so beautifully for showers. They’re relaxed enough for guests to mingle but structured enough to make the celebration feel like an occasion.
Shower brunches
A beautiful choice for morning and midday celebrations. Create a light, social atmosphere that leaves plenty of time for conversation, gifts, photographs and all the traditions you’ve planned.
Shower luncheons
Classic for a reason. A seated or more relaxed luncheon can bring generations together comfortably while giving everyone time to enjoy the celebration.
Talk with Michelle about menu options and the type of experience you’re envisioning.
Especially when you’ve thought about every other detail.
You’ve chosen the invitations. The flowers. The favors. The cake. The centerpieces. Maybe even the perfect backdrop for photographs. The room holding all of it shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Shuttle Meadow offers event spaces with the warmth and character of a private country club, allowing you to create something beautiful without starting with a blank banquet-hall box.
We’ll help you think about:
- 01Where guests will sit
- 02Where gifts will go
- 03How tables should be arranged
- 04Where you’ll display desserts, favors and special details
- 05How guests will move through the room
- 06Where those group photographs are going to happen
Because when the setup works, the entire celebration feels easier.
Small enough to feel personal. Large enough to bring everyone together.
A shower doesn’t need hundreds of guests to be memorable. In fact, some of the best celebrations are the ones where everyone in the room has a connection to the person being celebrated.
Whether your guest list is around 30 or 40 people or a larger gathering, we’ll help you explore the Shuttle Meadow event space that makes the group feel comfortable: not lost in a room that’s too large and not crowded into one that’s too small. That’s part of what makes the club such a natural fit for showers.
Spring showers aren’t the only showers we love.

Bridal and baby showers happen throughout the year at Shuttle Meadow, and every season brings something different to the celebration. Our indoor spaces also mean your plans don’t have to depend on Connecticut weather cooperating.
