Celebrating in Lombard
Where Lombard hosts use lighting
Lombard is the Lilac Village, and Lilacia Park, with its spring bloom and the village's Lilac Time festival in May, is the emotional center of town. Photographs by the lilacs, a downtown anchored by the Union Pacific West Metra station, and tree-lined streets of older homes give Lombard a polished, historic feel that few suburbs match.
Lilacia Park and public gardens
A favorite photo backdrop in spring. Public parks have rules about reservations and vendors, so check with the Lombard Park District.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Historic home and bungalow yards
Long, narrow lots suit linear table layouts and a small tent. Plan the food path carefully.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Downtown and Yorktown-area venues
Hotels and event rooms near Butterfield Road host receptions and corporate dinners that often add specialty seating.
Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
Church halls and community rooms
Communion lunches, anniversary dinners and showers often need extra chairs and linens for the hall.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Delivery notes for Lombard
- Downtown parking is limited. Tell us where the truck can stop and whether a permit or loading zone applies.
- For spring events, ask about ground softness. We can adjust rows and table placement to the firmest, flattest area.
