Celebrating in Arlington Heights
Where Arlington Heights hosts use tents
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.
Backyards and patios
The most common setting here. Most yards have driveway access, which makes delivery simple.
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.
Downtown private dining rooms
Restaurants near the Metra station host rehearsal dinners and showers. Check whether the venue allows outside rentals before you plan.
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.
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.
Tents here: Most park districts limit staking and require approval for tents, so a weighted frame tent or a reserved pavilion is often the simpler route.
Churches and parish halls
Many receptions, first communions and memorial lunches happen in church halls that may want extra or nicer seating.
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.
Delivery notes for Arlington Heights
- Downtown streets get busy on weekend evenings. For restaurant rooms, ask the venue about a loading window before dinner service.
- If you are adding a tent, check the village's rules on tent size and permits before the date is set.
How to plan
Getting tent rentals right
- 01
Size it
Seated dinner: 10-12 sq ft per guest. Standing cocktail: 6-8 sq ft. Add room for dance floor, bar and buffet.
- 02
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.
