Celebrating in Riverdale

Where Riverdale hosts use lighting

Riverdale sits along the Little Calumet River in the south suburbs, a mostly residential village with a mix of single-family homes and some larger industrial land along the river and rail corridors. Family celebrations here tend to be close and personal, with birthdays, showers and repasts making up most of the calendar.

More about Riverdale

Many households also have ties to neighboring Dolton, Calumet Park and Blue Island, and guests often travel between those towns for different parts of a celebration, a service in one town and a reception in another. Backyard space varies by block, so we ask about the actual lot before suggesting a layout.

  • Backyard family parties

    Lot sizes vary by block, so we size the table and chair count to the actual yard.

    Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
  • Nearby banquet halls

    Larger parties often move to a hall in Dolton, Calumet Park or Blue Island; we deliver to any of them.

    Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
  • Repasts and showers

    Receptions after a service call for quiet setup and seating ready when guests arrive.

    Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
  • Multi-stop family celebrations

    Guests often travel between Riverdale and neighboring towns over the course of a celebration.

    Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
