Where Buffalo Grove hosts use dinnerware
Because Buffalo Grove spans two counties, forest preserve or county rules can differ depending on the property. We keep that in mind while we plan. Tell us your address, guest count and timing, and we will give you an itemized quote. In spring and fall, tents on lawns need extra attention to wind and ground firmness, and we recommend leaving time on delivery day to level and stake properly.
Buffalo Grove straddles the Cook and Lake County line, with Lake Cook Road, Arlington Heights Road and Dundee Road marking its main routes. The village is known for tidy subdivisions, Mike Rylko Community Park, Willow Stream Park and Buffalo Grove Golf Club, along with the annual Buffalo Grove Days festival around Labor Day. Buffalo Grove Days and the village’s parks give the community a lively late-summer rhythm.
