Celebrating in Arlington Heights
Where Arlington Heights hosts use dinnerware
What makes seating here interesting is the mix: a wedding shower on the patio in May, a grad party for 150 in June, a backyard fall dinner in October. We like helping a family pick chairs that work for the event they are throwing now, not a generic rental package.
Backyards and patios
The most common setting here. Most yards have driveway access, which makes delivery simple.
Dinnerware here: At home, rental china means no dishwashing: plates go back scraped but unwashed. Plan a spot for the return crates.
Downtown private dining rooms
Restaurants near the Metra station host rehearsal dinners and showers. Check whether the venue allows outside rentals before you plan.
Dinnerware here: Many venues and caterers include plates. Rent only what they don't have, such as chargers or dessert plates.
Park district parks and pavilions
Places like Lake Arlington and neighborhood parks host family reunions and picnics, with rules set by the Arlington Heights Park District.
Dinnerware here: Parks rarely suit real china because of breakage and cleanup; consider rentals only for a seated dinner under a pavilion.
Churches and parish halls
Many receptions, first communions and memorial lunches happen in church halls that may want extra or nicer seating.
Dinnerware here: Halls often stock basic plates. Renting chargers and gold-rim plates upgrades the table at a modest cost.
Delivery notes for Arlington Heights
- Most homes have a driveway, so we can usually unload close to the yard. Let us know if the route to the backyard crosses a slope, steps or soft grass.
- Downtown streets get busy on weekend evenings. For restaurant rooms, ask the venue about a loading window before dinner service.
How to plan
Getting dinnerware and plate rentals right
- 01
List the courses
Salad, entree, dessert and bread each need their own plate per guest.
- 02
Add a charger
Chargers sit under each place setting and set the color story; they are removed before the entree.
- 03
Plan for buffets
Buffets need about 1.5 dinner plates per guest because people go back for seconds.
- 04
Coffee and dessert
Add cups and saucers for about 60% of guests if coffee is served.
