Celebrating in Burnham

Where Burnham hosts use tents

Family gatherings here are personal and modest, birthdays, showers and backyard cookouts, often with relatives coming from both the Illinois and Indiana sides of the border. The village's spot along the state line and near major rail yards gives it a different feel from its more purely residential neighbors.

More about Burnham

Because Burnham is so small and close to heavy rail and industrial traffic, we build extra time into deliveries here and confirm the exact address carefully, since the village's compact shape means addresses can sit close to very different kinds of land use. If your celebration is at a hall in Calumet City or another neighboring town, tell us the venue and we will plan the route around it. Whichever side of the village your event falls on, the same quote process applies: send your date, headcount and address, and we will itemize chairs, tables, delivery and setup.

  • Backyard cookouts and birthdays

    A handful of residential blocks suit a simple table-and-chair layout for family gatherings.

    Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.

  • Nearby banquet halls

    Larger parties often move to a hall in Calumet City; we deliver there directly.

    Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.

  • Cross-border family gatherings

    Relatives from both the Illinois and Indiana sides of the border often attend the same event.

    Tents here: Venue courtyards and lots usually need a frame tent with water barrels or concrete weights, and the venue's approval of the layout first.

  • Showers and small celebrations

    Modest guest lists are typical, with chairs and tables set up at home.

    Tents here: Venue courtyards and lots usually need a frame tent with water barrels or concrete weights, and the venue's approval of the layout first.

How to plan

Getting tent rentals right

  1. 01

    Size it

    Seated dinner: 10-12 sq ft per guest. Standing cocktail: 6-8 sq ft. Add room for dance floor, bar and buffet.

  2. 02

    Check the ground

    Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.

  3. 03

    Permits and utilities

    Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).

  4. 04

    Plan for weather

    Add sidewalls, heaters or fans; a Chicago spring or fall evening can drop below 50°F.
