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.
