Celebrating in Richmond
Where Richmond hosts use dinnerware
Richmond is farther from Chicago than most suburbs, so vendors schedule longer routes and confirm delivery windows ahead. Rural roads and gravel drives are common, and cold snaps arrive early in fall. If you are planning an October wedding, think about heaters and wind as well as chairs. Check with the Village of Richmond about downtown events, and request a quote early.
Barns and farms
Open land around Richmond hosts weddings and reunions, with gravel drives and uneven ground to plan around.
Dinnerware here: Stoneware and gold-rim plates both look good in barns. Ask whether the barn has a prep area for the caterer.
Antique-town gatherings
Main street events and small fundraisers fit the compact downtown, with limited loading space.
Dinnerware here: Many venues and caterers include plates. Rent only what they don't have, such as chargers or dessert plates.
