Celebrating in Naperville
Where Naperville hosts use lighting
Naperville pairs a lively downtown with some of the largest backyards in the western suburbs. The Riverwalk along the DuPage River is the heart of the city, and Naper Settlement offers a living-history backdrop that many residents use for photos and family outings.
Large backyards
Many Naperville homes have room for a tent and a full dinner. Check HOA rules on tents and parking before you plan.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
South Asian celebrations at home
Mehndi, sangeet and puja events often happen in a backyard or basement. Mixed seating heights help keep the flow comfortable.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Banquet halls and hotels
Reception venues along I-88 and Route 59 host larger events. Ask about outside rentals and loading docks.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Riverwalk-area showers and luncheons
Downtown restaurants and event rooms near the Riverwalk suit smaller daytime events with dining chairs.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Delivery notes for Naperville
