A baby shower should feel easy for the host and welcoming for the family. At Wildwood Chapel and Event Venue, we offer simple spaces that help you bring everyone together without stress. We see many showers here, and we understand how to make the day feel relaxed and personal.
A Setting That Fits Your Gathering
The chapel seats up to 75 guests and brings everyone into a restored 1903 schoolhouse with a warm, familiar feel. For groups that want more room or a different layout, the adjacent venue seats up to 100 guests and works well for food tables, gifts, games, and photos.

How Guests Settle In
Most families start in the chapel or the adjacent venue with a welcome moment and light snacks. The kitchen gives you a refrigerator, stove, microwave, freezer, and a wide serving counter, so it is simple to set up your own menu. Many bring finger foods or dishes from home. Inside and outside seating give guests plenty of room to spread out. Some families step outside for a few photos. The arbor beside the pond and the flagstone patios offer quiet places to gather for a moment before heading back inside.
What Comes With Your Booking
The kitchen includes restaurant-grade coffee and tea makers for easy drink service. A movable bar is available inside, and there is an outside bar near the patios. You can play your own playlist through the Bluetooth sound system. The bridal suite and groom’s room are also available. For showers, these private rooms give families a quiet place to take a break, organize gifts, or settle small children.
Your Food Plan
You are welcome to bring your own food, allowing you to customize the dining experience to suit your event. Some families enjoy cooking together, while others choose to bring in favorites like pizza or desserts. You can set everything up on the serving counter or throughout the room, arranging it in a way that complements your day's plans.
A Simple Flow for the Event
A shower here usually starts with a welcome and refreshments. After that, guests often take a short walk outside for photos by the pond or near the patios. The group then returns for gifts, games, or a blessing for the baby. Since the chapel and the adjacent venue sit close together, the day moves at an easy pace.
Nearby Scenery for Photos
Wildwood Chapel is close to Mount Magazine State Park. Guests often enjoy the panoramic views and may visit the overlook before or after the shower. Families from Logan County, Sebastian County, and Franklin County appreciate that the chapel and the park are both very close.
