Celebrating in Oak Park
Where Oak Park hosts use lighting
Oak Park sits right on Chicago's western border and is famous for its architecture, including the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and many Prairie-style houses. The village has a creative, community-minded feel, with walkable business districts and easy access to the Green and Blue Line trains and Metra.
Historic homes
Prairie-style and Victorian homes host dinners and parties, and their built-ins and narrow halls shape how many chairs fit.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Church and community halls
Receptions, memorials and religious celebrations often happen here. Sanctuary and hall access often depends on the church calendar.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Backyards with alley access
Many Oak Park lots have rear alleys and garages, which can make loading easier than the front street.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Garden weddings
Mature elms and careful landscaping make lovely ceremony spaces in surprisingly small yards.
