Celebrating in River North
Where River North hosts use dance floors & staging
River North was once a district of warehouses and factories, and plenty of those heavy-timber buildings now hold event lofts, galleries and showrooms. The exposed beams and brick walls are a gift for photos, but the access is old-school: freight elevators with manual gates, docks tucked down alleys between Hubbard and Kinzie, and stairwells that were never designed for a hundred chairs.
Converted warehouse lofts
Brick-and-beam spaces with freight elevators that vary widely in size and age.
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.
Art galleries and showrooms
Popular for openings and private dinners, where furniture needs to complement the work on the walls.
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.
Rooftop terraces
Common on newer buildings and above restaurants, with skyline views and exposure to wind.
Dance floors & staging here: Rooftop decks need weight and drainage checks before a floor goes down. Smaller interlocking panels are easier to bring up.
Private dining rooms
Upstairs rooms used for rehearsal dinners and small receptions, often reached by stairs only.
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.
Delivery notes for River North
- Walk-up private dining rooms mean carrying chairs by hand. Let us know the floor and stair count so we can staff the setup properly.
- Older loft freight elevators can be small or manually operated. Measure the cab or ask the venue for its dimensions so we can size our carts and stacks.
How to plan
Getting dance floor rentals right
- 01
Who dances
Assume 30-50% of guests are on the floor at peak.

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.
