Celebrating in DeKalb
Where DeKalb hosts use photo booths
Logistically, DeKalb is a drive from the Chicago core, so delivery runs are longer than in the near suburbs. Route 23, Lincoln Highway and Annie Glidden Road are the main arteries, and trucks need to plan around event weekends at NIU. We match you with the closest vendor and itemize delivery so you know what the distance adds. Planning a graduation party? Ask early about tent permits and neighbors' driveways.
DeKalb is a college town on the western edge of Chicagoland, and Northern Illinois University sets its calendar. Commencement weekends in May and December bring families from across the state, and every restaurant, hall and backyard in town fills up. The town is also known as the birthplace of barbed wire, a nod to its farming roots, and the Egyptian Theatre remains a downtown landmark.
Graduation backyard parties
NIU commencement weekends mean lots of tents and chairs in yards near campus and out in the county.
Photo booths here: Outdoor booths need shade, power and a level spot out of direct sun. Evening parties need extra lighting.
Downtown DeKalb events
Historic buildings near the Egyptian Theatre have tight loading, so confirm access with the venue.
Photo booths here: Venues may limit where the booth goes and how long the attendant stays. Check the load-in and power plan.
Park pavilions
Hopkins Park and other DeKalb Park District sites rent pavilions for parties. Reserve early for May.
Photo booths here: Parks rarely have power where you need it, so ask for a battery option or a generator in the quote.
Country and farm lots
Just outside town, larger lots and barns host weddings and family reunions with gravel drives.
Photo booths here: Barns make good backdrops on their own. Pick an open-air booth so the beams show in the photos.
Delivery notes for DeKalb
- NIU commencement and homecoming weekends crowd roads and parking near campus. Book delivery windows early and confirm access.
- Winter storms and wind off the open fields can affect timing in colder months. We build in buffer for outdoor and tent events.
How to plan
Getting photo booth rentals right
- 01
Choose the style
360 booths make shareable video; mirror and open-air booths make printed photos.
- 02
Space
Allow about 10' x 10' for most booths and a 12' circle for a 360 platform.
- 03
Hours
Two to three hours during the reception is usually enough; peak use is after dinner.
- 04
Backdrop
Pair with a flower wall or sequin backdrop for better photos.
