Celebrating in Palos Heights
Where Palos Heights hosts use concessions
Palos Heights is a leafy residential village best known for Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens, a public preserve with a lake, waterfalls and gardens that draws walkers and photographers. Trinity Christian College sits on the village's west side, and the Cal-Sag Channel and the Palos forest preserves are close by. The lake and gardens inspire photographers, so engagement shoots and wedding portraits are often followed by a backyard reception nearby.
Backyard weddings
Medium and large lots suit tents and round tables. Plan level ground and access.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
