Celebrating in North Park
Where North Park hosts use dinnerware
Campus events add another layer. Graduation weekends, family days and receptions bring crowds to the area each spring, and parking becomes tight. Most homes have alley access and generous backyards, which are ideal for graduation parties and baptisms. We plan delivery around your block, your alley and your date, and we recommend booking early for May weekends. We'll plan the rest around you.
Bungalow and mid-century backyards
Roomy lots suit graduations, baptisms and cookouts, usually with alley access.
Dinnerware here: At home, rental china means no dishwashing: plates go back scraped but unwashed. Plan a spot for the return crates.
Campus and university receptions
Graduation weekends bring family dinners and receptions to nearby halls and restaurants.
Dinnerware here: Many venues and caterers include plates. Rent only what they don't have, such as chargers or dessert plates.
North Branch forest preserves
Cook County forest preserve groves host family picnics, with permits through the county.
Dinnerware here: Parks rarely suit real china because of breakage and cleanup; consider rentals only for a seated dinner under a pavilion.
Church and cultural halls
Congregations and community centers host receptions and festivals.
Dinnerware here: Halls often stock basic plates. Renting chargers and gold-rim plates upgrades the table at a modest cost.
