Celebrating in Pullman
Where Pullman hosts use lighting
Pullman was built in the 1880s as a company town by George Pullman for his railcar workers, and its brick rowhouses, Hotel Florence and Clock Tower Administration Building make it one of the city's most distinctive districts. The Pullman National Historical Park, run by the National Park Service, now draws visitors from across the country, and the historic district is a living neighborhood where families host their own celebrations.
Rowhouse gardens and stoops
Small outdoor spaces for showers, birthdays and graduation parties.
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 halls
Local congregations host anniversaries, receptions and community dinners.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Arcade Park
A public green in the historic district; confirm with the managing agency what rules and permits apply.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Industrial and warehouse event spaces
Larger venues in and near the district may suit bigger weddings and fundraisers; confirm their furniture policies.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
