Celebrating in Wilmette
Where Wilmette hosts use concessions
Wilmette is the North Shore at a gentler scale. Shaded streets of older homes run down toward Gillson Park and the lake, the dome of the Baha'i House of Worship rises over Sheridan Road, and summer weekends bring a steady stream of backyard parties, graduations and milestone celebrations.
Tented backyards
Mid-sized lots host many simchas and weddings. Work out the tent footprint first, then the chair count.
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.
Lakefront parks
Gillson Park and the beach draw summer gatherings. The Wilmette Park District sets the rules on permits and rentals.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Congregational halls
Synagogues and churches host receptions and kiddush lunches. Ask what chairs stay in house and when you can access the room.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Patios and garden rooms
Older homes often have gardens and porches suited to showers, luncheons and intimate rehearsal dinners.
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.
Delivery notes for Wilmette
