Celebrating in Glen Ellyn
Where Glen Ellyn hosts use lighting
Glen Ellyn has a village feel, with Victorian and Craftsman homes on hilly, tree-filled streets and a compact downtown around the Metra station. Lake Ellyn, just north of downtown, is a favorite spot for strolls and photos, and the boathouse there is a local landmark.
Backyards on hilly lots
Glen Ellyn's terrain means sloped yards. We'll set rows on the flattest part of the lawn and check that chairs sit level.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Lake Ellyn area
A popular backdrop for photos and small gatherings. Reservations and rules come from the park district.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Older homes with formal dining rooms
Holiday and rehearsal dinners often add chairs to the dining table. A quick measurement of the dining room helps us suggest how many chairs fit comfortably.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Downtown event spaces
Restaurants and rooms near the Metra station suit showers and luncheons. Parking and loading are tight on weekends.
Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
