Celebrating in Forest Park
Much of the housing is older, with brick two-flats and bungalows on tight lots, so backyard parties tend to be intimate and a little creative with space. The village is home to Forest Home Cemetery and sits along the Des Plaines River, with forest preserve land nearby that gives the area a leafy, quiet feel just outside the city line.
Restaurant back rooms and patios near the main strip suit small receptions, but loading usually happens on the street.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
Compact lots behind two-flats and bungalows work best with a few round tables and stackable chairs.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
Forest preserve groves near the Des Plaines River are reserved through the Forest Preserves of Cook County and usually mean a short carry from parking.
Heating & cooling here: Many parks restrict open-flame and propane heaters, so ask the park district before you rely on them.
Receptions after services call for quiet setup, plenty of seating and tidy teardown.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
