Celebrating in Glencoe
Glencoe is a small village with a big sense of place. Lake Michigan forms its eastern edge, the Chicago Botanic Garden sits on its western side along the Skokie Lagoons, and in between are wooded ravines, winding streets and the Frank Lloyd Wright houses of the Ravine Bluffs neighborhood. Celebrations here tend to be intimate, design-minded and tied closely to the outdoors.
Glencoe’s beaches and parks are lovely for ceremonies, but access, hours and tent rules are set by the Glencoe Park District, so ask early.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Sloped lawns and mature trees make beautiful settings. Ask us about leveling options for tables and where chairs can safely sit.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
The Chicago Botanic Garden is in Glencoe. Venue rules vary, so confirm what rentals are allowed on site.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Smaller receptions, showers and fundraisers around the village center are easy for guests who arrive by train.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
How to plan
One uplight every 8-10 feet of wall, set to your color palette.
For a tent, plan the tent length x 3-4 for a zig-zag or perimeter pattern.
Pipe and drape is priced per running foot; use it to hide walls, storage or a kitchen door.
