Celebrating in River Forest
Where River Forest hosts use dance floors & staging
River Forest is known for large, tree-lined lots, Prairie-style and Tudor homes, and wide front lawns. Frank Lloyd Wright's Winslow House stands here, and the neighborhood's architecture shapes how people entertain: a ceremony on the lawn, dinner under a tent, cocktails on a porch. Many parties are simply too big for a living room and too nice for plastic folding chairs.
Estate lawn weddings
Deep lots allow a ceremony and dinner on one property. Plan for level ground and a clear route from the street.
Dance floors & staging here: A dance floor on grass needs a level subfloor first, which adds to the price. A patio or driveway is often the cheapest base.
Graduation open houses
Dominican and Concordia season brings family gatherings and large tents. Order early in May and June.

Thatcher Woods picnics
Forest preserve groves need a reservation from the Forest Preserves of Cook County and a short carry.
Dance floors & staging here: Check the venue's floor plan for a built-in dance area. Many lofts need a rented floor to protect concrete or carpet.

How to plan
Getting dance floor rentals right
- 01

Give each dancer about 3-4.5 sq ft: 15x15 for 150 guests, 18x18 for 200+.

Stage
A 8x12 to 12x16 stage at 16-24" high fits a band; DJs usually need only a table.
