Celebrating in Highland Park
Where Highland Park hosts use dinnerware
We think the best results come from planning early with your tent company and planner. Tell us your tent size, table plan and when the floor goes in, and we will fit our delivery into the overall schedule rather than competing for driveway space.
Tented backyards and estates
Large lawns host weddings and simchas under frame tents. Coordinate timing with the tent installer so chairs arrive after the floor is in.
Dinnerware here: At home, rental china means no dishwashing: plates go back scraped but unwashed. Plan a spot for the return crates.
Synagogue social halls
Bar and bat mitzvah weekends often split between a service and a reception elsewhere. Ask your congregation what seating stays in house.
Dinnerware here: Halls often stock basic plates. Renting chargers and gold-rim plates upgrades the table at a modest cost.
Lakefront and bluff terraces
Bluff-top patios and lakefront parks offer views, along with wind and sometimes long carries down to the lawn.
Dinnerware here: Rooftops need sturdy plates and a plan for clearing them quickly; lighter melamine works for casual events.
Ravinia district homes and gardens
Smaller lots near the Ravinia neighborhood suit garden dinners, showers and intimate rehearsal dinners.

Delivery notes for Highland Park
- Ravine and bluff properties can have long, sloped paths from the driveway to the lawn. Share a photo of the route so we can bring the right crew.
