Celebrating in Aurora
Where Aurora hosts use lighting
Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois and one of the most varied places we serve. The historic downtown sits on the Fox River, with the Paramount Theatre and riverfront architecture nearby, while the far east side blends into the DuPage County suburbs with newer homes and shopping corridors.
Banquet halls
A common home for quinceaneras and receptions. Many halls include basic chairs, so upgrades are often for the head table or the whole room.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Church and parish halls
Great for religious celebrations and receptions. Ask the parish office about delivery times and who will be on site.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Riverfront and downtown spaces
Downtown Aurora along the Fox draws events and portraits. Loading and parking rules vary, so check with your venue.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Backyards on the east side
Newer subdivisions often have fenced yards with standard gates. Measure the gate so we can plan the carry.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Delivery notes for Aurora
