Celebrating in Back of the Yards
Where Back of the Yards hosts use linens
Lots are narrow, many properties are older frame homes with gangways, and street parking is tight. We ask about access and ground conditions, plan for carrying chairs where trucks can't reach, and suggest styles that stack and move easily. Send your guest count and date, and we'll get you an itemized quote. A short planning call usually covers alley width, gate size and parking, which are the three details that matter most on these blocks.
