Celebrating in River North

Where River North hosts use linens

Style-wise, River North leans modern and a little dramatic. Clear acrylic, black frames and velvet upholstery look right at home against brick and steel. We're happy to suggest combinations, like velvet at a head table with simpler chairs elsewhere, and to price both options so you can decide on a call.

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.

    Linens here: Floor-length linens hide folding tables but catch wind outdoors. Use clips or a lap-length cloth for breezy lawns.

  • Art galleries and showrooms

    Popular for openings and private dinners, where furniture needs to complement the work on the walls.

    Linens here: Venues often include white house linens. Renting colored or textured linens is the cheapest way to change the room.

  • Rooftop terraces

    Common on newer buildings and above restaurants, with skyline views and exposure to wind.

    Linens here: Wind is the main problem on rooftops. Fitted spandex cloths and napkin weights keep everything in place.

  • Private dining rooms

    Upstairs rooms used for rehearsal dinners and small receptions, often reached by stairs only.

    Linens here: Venues often include white house linens. Renting colored or textured linens is the cheapest way to change the room.

How to plan

Getting linen rentals right

  1. 01

    Match each table

    Floor-length cloths look formal; lap-length cloths are cheaper and fine for casual events.

  2. 02

    One napkin per guest

    Add 5% spares, plus cocktail napkins if you are serving passed appetizers.

  3. 03

    Don't forget service tables

    Gift, cake, DJ and buffet tables need linens too; they show up in photos.

  4. 04

    Accent layers

    Runners, overlays and chair sashes add color without replacing every tablecloth.
