Celebrating in Lake County
Where Lake County hosts use lighting
Lake County runs from the Cook County line up to the Wisconsin border, with Lake Michigan on its eastern edge. The county seat is Waukegan, and the lakefront towns of Highland Park, Lake Forest and Lake Bluff along the Metra Union Pacific North line are known for estates, ravines and historic downtowns. Further inland you find Libertyville, Mundelein, Vernon Hills, Gurnee and Grayslake, then the lakes and wetlands of the Chain O'Lakes in the northwest corner.
Lakefront and ravine estates
North Shore estates and lakefront parks mean beautiful setups with wind and uneven ground. Plan ceremony rows with care.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Forest preserve gatherings
Lake County Forest Preserves rent shelters and event spaces. Check with the district about permits and vehicle access.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Chain O'Lakes and lakeside backyards
Lake houses and waterfront lots in the northwest corner often have narrow access roads, so confirm truck access beforehand.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Suburban halls and downtown plazas
Libertyville, Mundelein and Gurnee have halls and downtown plazas that host weddings, school events and community festivals.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
