Celebrating in Highland Park
Tented events are the local signature. Families host bar and bat mitzvah receptions, engagement parties and full weddings at home, with a tent on the lawn, a dance floor and a plated dinner. The seating needs to look as finished as a ballroom while standing up to grass, slopes and a lake breeze.
Large lawns host weddings and simchas under frame tents. Coordinate timing with the tent installer so chairs arrive after the floor is in.
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.
Bar and bat mitzvah weekends often split between a service and a reception elsewhere. Ask your congregation what seating stays in house.
Heating & cooling here: Halls are climate controlled, but outdoor smoking or cocktail areas still benefit from one or two heaters.
Bluff-top patios and lakefront parks offer views, along with wind and sometimes long carries down to the lawn.
Heating & cooling here: Rooftops get windy and cold quickly after sunset. Heaters rated for wind, with weighted bases, are a must.
Smaller lots near the Ravinia neighborhood suit garden dinners, showers and intimate rehearsal dinners.
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.
