Celebrating in River Grove

Where River Grove hosts use tents

Family gatherings here tend to be casual and close, with graduation parties, christenings and birthday celebrations making up much of the calendar. The Des Plaines River and nearby forest preserve land give the area some green space for outdoor photos even on a tighter residential lot.

More about River Grove

Because many homes sit on standard village lots, we plan chair and table counts around the real footprint of the yard rather than an ideal one, and we keep an eye on parking, since many blocks rely on street spots only. If your celebration is a christening or first communion, we also ask about the time of the church service, since many families want chairs and tables ready the moment guests arrive from mass. A short note about whether pets will be in the yard helps too, since gates and latches are easy to miss when a crew is focused on carrying chairs.

  • Backyard birthdays and christenings

    Standard village lots suit a simple table-and-chair layout for family-style gatherings.

    Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.
  • Nearby banquet halls

    Larger parties often move to a hall in Elmwood Park or Melrose Park; we deliver to either.

    Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.
  • Forest preserve and riverside photos

    Green space along the Des Plaines River makes a nice backdrop for photos before or after a party.

    Tents here: Most park districts limit staking and require approval for tents, so a weighted frame tent or a reserved pavilion is often the simpler route.
  • Graduation parties

    Spring and early summer bring a steady run of backyard graduation celebrations.

    Tents here: Venue courtyards and lots usually need a frame tent with water barrels or concrete weights, and the venue's approval of the layout first.

How to plan

Getting tent rentals right

  1. 01

    Size it

    Seated dinner: 10-12 sq ft per guest. Standing cocktail: 6-8 sq ft. Add room for dance floor, bar and buffet.

  2. 02

    Check the ground

    Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.

  3. 03

    Permits and utilities

    Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).

  4. 04

    Plan for weather

    Add sidewalls, heaters or fans; a Chicago spring or fall evening can drop below 50ยฐF.
