Celebrating in River North
Where River North hosts use tables
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.
Tables here: Lawns are rarely level. Banquet tables with adjustable legs or a few shims keep plates from sliding, and 60-inch rounds fit better than long rows between trees.
Art galleries and showrooms
Popular for openings and private dinners, where furniture needs to complement the work on the walls.
Tables here: Venues set strict load-in windows. Folding rounds and banquet tables move fastest, and the venue's floor plan tells you exactly how many fit.
Rooftop terraces
Common on newer buildings and above restaurants, with skyline views and exposure to wind.
Tables here: Rooftops limit weight and elevator size. Folding tables that fit in a freight elevator, plus a few highboys, work better than heavy farm tables.
Private dining rooms
Upstairs rooms used for rehearsal dinners and small receptions, often reached by stairs only.
Tables here: Venues set strict load-in windows. Folding rounds and banquet tables move fastest, and the venue's floor plan tells you exactly how many fit.
Delivery notes for River North
- 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.
