Celebrating in Lakeview
Where Lakeview hosts use dinnerware
Lakeview also runs along the lakefront, and rooftop decks catch every gust coming off the water. For those spaces we'll suggest heavier frames and help you think about how many chairs fit comfortably on a deck before anyone has to squeeze past the grill. Everything is itemized in your quote.
Two-flat and three-flat backyards
Compact yards behind multi-unit buildings, typically accessed from the alley or a gangway.
Dinnerware here: At home, rental china means no dishwashing: plates go back scraped but unwashed. Plan a spot for the return crates.
Rooftop decks
Common on condo buildings and renovated homes, with lake breezes and limited square footage.
Dinnerware here: Rooftops need sturdy plates and a plan for clearing them quickly; lighter melamine works for casual events.
Neighborhood church halls
Parish and congregation halls that host receptions, showers and community celebrations.
Dinnerware here: Halls often stock basic plates. Renting chargers and gold-rim plates upgrades the table at a modest cost.
Rented bar and restaurant spaces
Private rooms along Southport and Broadway used for birthdays and rehearsal dinners.
Dinnerware here: Many venues and caterers include plates. Rent only what they don't have, such as chargers or dessert plates.

- Check the Cubs schedule for your date. Game days around Wrigley Field mean heavy traffic and parking restrictions, so we'll plan delivery around them.
