Celebrating in Wheeling
Where Wheeling hosts use concessions
Wheeling runs along the Des Plaines River, with a historic downtown on Milwaukee Avenue and a stretch of restaurants known locally as Restaurant Row. Dundee Road and Palatine Road cross the village, the Metra North Central Service stops in the village, and Chicago Executive Airport lies within its borders. Downtown Wheeling’s Milwaukee Avenue corridor offers a walkable dining scene and a river trail nearby.
Wheeling is a diverse northwest suburb with families from many backgrounds. That shows up in an eventful calendar: quinceaneras and weddings in banquet halls, baptism and communion parties, graduation open houses and community festivals. Park district spaces and the river trail see plenty of family picnics. Many families attend church services in the morning and move to a hall or yard by afternoon.
Banquet halls
Ask what chairs and tables are included, and when you can load in.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Backyard and garage parties
Share your space and we will suggest tables that fit and keep traffic flowing.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
Park district pavilions
The Wheeling Park District sets rules for reservations and equipment.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
River trail and forest preserve picnics
Cook County forest preserves require permits and may limit what you can bring.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Delivery notes for Wheeling
- Check with the Village of Wheeling about tent permits before booking.
