Where West Lawn hosts use dinnerware
Lots are mostly standard Chicago bungalow size with rear alleys, so tables and canopies fit but not endlessly. We ask about gate width, ground conditions and hall rules, and we plan setups to be quick before guests arrive. Share your date and guest count for an itemized quote. Ask about extras like head table chairs and kids' seating, and we'll add them to a single itemized quote. We'll also flag any stairs or gates so the crew can plan how to carry.
