Celebrating in Bronzeville
Where Bronzeville hosts use lighting
Bronzeville carries more Chicago history per block than almost anywhere in the city. This was the heart of the Great Migration, the Black Metropolis of jazz clubs, newspapers and banks, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive still runs through it as a wide boulevard lined with landmarks, including Victory Monument at 35th Street. Events here often have a sense of occasion that people want their furniture to match.
Restored greystones and courtyards
Historic homes along the boulevards host intimate weddings, showers and milestone birthdays, often with limited indoor room.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Church fellowship halls
Longstanding congregations host receptions, repasts and anniversary dinners, and often need extra seating for big turnouts.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Cultural and arts spaces
Community arts venues near King Drive suit galas, fundraisers and reunions with a gallery look.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
