Celebrating in Chatham
Where Chatham hosts use heating & cooling
The 79th Street corridor and Cottage Grove Avenue carry the main business strips, and the Red Line's 79th Street stop gets guests in from across the city. Churches here are large and active, hosting weddings, anniversaries and community dinners, and many families hold graduation open houses at home. Nearby parks and the lakefront are a short drive away for outdoor photos.
Backyards are the workhorse of Chatham entertaining, usually reached via an alley behind the lot. We ask about alley width, gate size and yard slope, and we plan for the type of party, from a 40-person cookout to a 150-guest tented reception. Send your date and guest count to get started. A short call usually settles it: your date, your headcount, the yard layout and what time the family wants to start.
