Celebrating in Wilmette
Where Wilmette hosts use heating & cooling
Many families here choose to host at home. A tent in the backyard for a bar mitzvah, a lawn ceremony for a daughter's wedding, a shower on the patio for a neighbor. Lots are generous by city standards but tighter than the estates further north, so layouts take a little more thought.
Tented backyards
Mid-sized lots host many simchas and weddings. Work out the tent footprint first, then the chair count.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
Lakefront parks
Gillson Park and the beach draw summer gatherings. The Wilmette Park District sets the rules on permits and rentals.
Heating & cooling here: Many parks restrict open-flame and propane heaters, so ask the park district before you rely on them.
Congregational halls
Synagogues and churches host receptions and kiddush lunches. Ask what chairs stay in house and when you can access the room.
Heating & cooling here: Halls are climate controlled, but outdoor smoking or cocktail areas still benefit from one or two heaters.
Patios and garden rooms
Older homes often have gardens and porches suited to showers, luncheons and intimate rehearsal dinners.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
