Celebrating in Highwood
Where Highwood hosts use dinnerware
Streets are compact, with older homes, small lots and limited curb space, so delivery logistics deserve extra thought. Fort Sheridan's lakefront and the Lake County forest preserve land nearby add outdoor options with their own rules. Tell us your venue or yard and guest count, and we will help plan chairs and tables that fit the footprint. A few photos and an exact address are all we need to start, and we are happy to talk through the details of your Highwood space by phone.
Highwood is a small city tucked between Highland Park and Fort Sheridan, just off Green Bay Road, with a compact downtown of Italian restaurants, cafes and shops. The Metra station sits at the edge of the village, Everts Park offers green space, and Ravinia Festival is only minutes away. It is a place people come to for dinner, and celebrations often follow suit.
Restaurant buyouts and private dining
Rehearsal dinners often use restaurant patios or private rooms. Ask what the venue provides and what you can add.
Dinnerware here: Many venues and caterers include plates. Rent only what they don't have, such as chargers or dessert plates.
Everts Park and village events
Public green space needs coordination. Check with the City of Highwood about reservations and rules.
Dinnerware here: Parks rarely suit real china because of breakage and cleanup; consider rentals only for a seated dinner under a pavilion.
Compact backyards
Small lots suit showers and anniversary parties. Choose slim chairs that fit tight spaces.
Dinnerware here: At home, rental china means no dishwashing: plates go back scraped but unwashed. Plan a spot for the return crates.
