Celebrating in West Loop
Where West Loop hosts use dinnerware
We plan West Loop deliveries with those changeovers in mind. If your venue has a strict out-time from the previous event, we'll schedule setup around it, and if you're seating a long family-style dinner we'll suggest chairs that fit tightly at farm tables without crowding guests. Delivery and setup are itemized in the quote, so you can compare options clearly.
Fulton Market event lofts
Large open floors in former warehouses, often with good dock access but busy event calendars.

Delivery notes for West Loop
- Ask your venue if another event is booked before yours. A short changeover window affects when we can start setup and how many crew we send.
- Fulton Market docks and curbs get crowded on weekends. Confirm whether we should use the dock, an alley or the street.
