Celebrating in Andersonville
Where Andersonville hosts use tents
It's also one of Chicago's most welcoming neighborhoods for LGBTQ+ couples and families, with a strong community of independent shops and restaurants. Weddings, commitment ceremonies, anniversary dinners and showers here tend to be personal and creative, held in backyards, small venues and rooms above storefronts rather than giant banquet halls.
Greystone backyards
Garden weddings and dinners behind classic two-flats, often with alley access.
Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.
Storefront and second-floor venues
Small event spaces along Clark Street for intimate receptions and showers.
Tents here: Venue courtyards and lots usually need a frame tent with water barrels or concrete weights, and the venue's approval of the layout first.
Restaurant private dining
Rooms used for rehearsal dinners, anniversaries and celebrations after a courthouse wedding.
Tents here: Venue courtyards and lots usually need a frame tent with water barrels or concrete weights, and the venue's approval of the layout first.
Church and community halls
Welcoming congregations and community spaces that host ceremonies and gatherings; confirm their outside rental rules.
Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.

Size it

Check the ground
Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.
- 03
Permits and utilities
Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).
- 04
Plan for weather
Add sidewalls, heaters or fans; a Chicago spring or fall evening can drop below 50°F.
