Celebrating in Brookfield
Where Brookfield hosts use lighting
Brookfield is best known as the home of Brookfield Zoo, which draws visitors from across the region, but residents know it as a friendly village of bungalows, cottages and tree-lined streets. The Eight Corners business district and the BNSF Metra station give the village a small-town center, and Ogden Avenue carries the heavy traffic along the north edge. A day at the zoo often ends with a family dinner at home, and that is the best excuse for a long table in the yard.
Backyard parties
Small lots call for stackable chairs and a few well-placed tables. Measure before you order.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Village park pavilions
Parks like Kiwanis and Ehlert need reservations. Check with the Brookfield Parks and Recreation department.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Salt Creek preserve picnics
Forest preserve groves require a Forest Preserves of Cook County permit and a short carry.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Eight Corners gatherings
Restaurant rooms and small venues near the train station may have tight loading.
Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
