Celebrating in Arlington Heights
Arlington Heights is a village of good backyards. Neighborhoods of brick ranches, colonials and newer rebuilds give a lot of families enough yard for a graduation tent or a summer engagement party, and the block-party culture runs strong. When people host here, they usually host at home.
Downtown, around the Metra station and the Metropolis theater, has grown into a dinner destination, and its restaurants and private rooms see plenty of rehearsal dinners and showers. Out of town guests can ride the train straight in, which makes it an easy place to gather a group.
The most common setting here. Most yards have driveway access, which makes delivery simple.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
Restaurants near the Metra station host rehearsal dinners and showers. Check whether the venue allows outside rentals before you plan.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
Places like Lake Arlington and neighborhood parks host family reunions and picnics, with rules set by the Arlington Heights Park District.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Many receptions, first communions and memorial lunches happen in church halls that may want extra or nicer seating.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
How to plan
Popcorn and cotton candy suit kids and school events; dessert and coffee carts suit weddings and corporate events.
Plan 1-2 servings per guest; one popcorn kit makes about 20-25 servings.
Most machines need a standard 15-20 amp outlet within 50 feet, or a generator outdoors.
Machines are self-serve with a volunteer; carts often include an attendant, so check what is included.
