Celebrating in Washington Park
Where Washington Park hosts use dinnerware
Park events are the main planning challenge. Large gatherings usually need a Chicago Park District permit, and vehicle access to lawns is limited, so we ask early where trucks can stage and how far we'd carry. For homes and halls, we plan around alley access and parking. Tell us your date and guest count to start a quote. Our team is happy to work with a church or block club to plan a layout, and we'll itemize delivery, setup and pickup in a single quote.
