Celebrating in West Town
Where West Town hosts use dinnerware
West Town's variety makes it easy to plan almost any event. A rooftop birthday near the river, a church reception off Ashland and a small backyard shower on a side street can all happen the same weekend. We ask about the building type, parking and access up front so we can plan the right crew and timing for each. Just send your date and address and we'll take it from there.
Industrial lofts and converted warehouses
Large open spaces along the river and Chicago Avenue host weddings, galas and corporate events.

Rooftops and condo party rooms
Newer buildings offer skyline decks, with elevator and rule reservations to plan around.
Dinnerware here: Rooftops need sturdy plates and a plan for clearing them quickly; lighter melamine works for casual events.
Greystone and two-flat backyards
