Celebrating in Park Ridge
Where Park Ridge hosts use concessions
Park Ridge has a small-town feel in the shadow of O’Hare. Uptown Park Ridge is anchored by the Metra Union Pacific Northwest line station, the historic Pickwick Theatre building and Northwest Highway, while neighborhoods of brick bungalows and Tudors spread out around Centennial Park. Jets overhead are part of the soundtrack. Park Ridge’s tree-lined blocks near Uptown and the Metra station give wedding guests an easy walk between ceremony and reception.
Backyard and driveway parties
Graduation and communion parties are a staple. Confirm tent space and neighbor 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.
Park district pavilions
Centennial Park and other Park Ridge parks host gatherings. The Park Ridge Park District sets its own rules.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Church and parish halls
Ask your parish about on-site seating and the load-in schedule.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Uptown and banquet spaces
Smaller receptions and showers near Uptown are easy for guests arriving by train.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
Delivery notes for Park Ridge
- Check with the City of Park Ridge about tent permits before you book.
- Aircraft noise can intrude on outdoor ceremonies. Plan music and speeches accordingly.
