Celebrating in Pilsen
Where Pilsen hosts use lighting
Pilsen is one of the heartlands of Mexican-American Chicago, known for its colorful murals, historic churches and the National Museum of Mexican Art in Harrison Park. Celebrations here are often big, multigenerational and rooted in tradition: a quinceañera that starts with a Mass and ends with a full night of dancing, a wedding with padrinos and a long list of family, a baptism party in the backyard.
Banquet halls
Halls in and around Pilsen that host quinceañeras and weddings, some with in-house chairs you may want to upgrade.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Parish halls
Church halls for receptions after Mass, baptisms and first communions.
