  1. 01

    One warehouse, one invoice

    All 15 categories live on our own racks in Bridgeport — so a tent, 300 chairs and the chafing dishes arrive on the same truck with one contact and one bill.

  2. 02

    Delivery across Chicagoland

    The Loop, Fulton Market, Pilsen, Hyde Park, Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville and the North Shore. We know which alleys the box truck fits down.

  3. 03

    Washed, pressed, counted twice

    Linen is laundered in-house, glassware is polished, and every crate is counted against your order before it leaves the dock.

  4. 04

    Setup and strike on structures

    Tents, floors and staging are installed by our own crew. You are not handed a pile of poles and a diagram.

  5. 05

    Itemised day rates

    You see the line for every chair. Nothing gets padded into a bundle you cannot read.

  6. 06

    A floor plan with your quote

    Send a guest count and an address and you get a scaled layout back, so you know the 30 × 60 actually clears the garage.

Testimonials

From gala chairs and planners.

★★★★★
Six hundred and twenty covers, and the room was finished forty minutes before the doors opened. Our chair actually got to sit down beforehand.
MF
Margaret FialkowskiBenefit chair, Streeterville
★★★★★
The chandeliers were rigged, levelled and dimmed to a warmth I could actually specify. Nobody else asks me for a colour temperature.
IB
Idris BelloLighting designer, West Loop
★★★★★
Their crew wore black, spoke quietly and were invisible by the time the first course landed. That is the whole job, done properly.
CV
Clara VasquezCatering director, the Loop
★★★★★
They flagged that our head table wouldn't clear the stage sightlines and redrew it. That catch alone was worth the fee.
PS
Peter SundqvistWedding planner, Lake Forest
★★★★★
Fifth year running the museum gala with them. The proposal is always itemised and the invoice always matches it.

Journal

Notes on evening events.

Room design

Sightlines: why the head table is nearly always in the wrong place

Programme, stage and screen all compete for the same axis. Here is the order we resolve them in, and what we sacrifice first.

Service

How many glasses a 600-cover benefit really goes through

We counted, across nine events. The answer is higher than your caterer's estimate and lower than your fear.

Lighting

Pin-spotting centrepieces without blinding the room

Beam angle, throw distance and a very specific piece of gel. The difference between a table that glows and one that squints.

Enquiries

What clients ask us first.

Always. Our crews set the room to an agreed plan, dress the tables and light the space before your caterer's first course leaves the kitchen. Strike is normally overnight so the venue is clear by morning, which most downtown contracts require anyway.

Nine to twelve months for a Saturday in the autumn benefit season, which in Chicago runs late September through early December. Chandeliers and mirror flooring commit first. Weekday events and spring dates are usually comfortable at three months.

Within reason, yes. We hold eleven silk colourways and can source custom linen with eight weeks' notice. Gold finishes we do not mix — everything in a room comes from the same gilt batch, because two different golds under warm light is immediately obvious.

General liability at two million per occurrence, plus workers' compensation and auto. We name your venue as additional insured with their exact wording, usually the same business day. Museum Campus, Navy Pier and the Hilton each have their own; we hold all three on file.

We prefer to. Send us their contacts at booking and we'll agree a load-in sequence directly — tables dressed before flowers land, glassware set after the linen has settled. It removes an entire category of day-of argument.

Twenty-five hundred dollars for a delivered and installed event in the city, four thousand in the suburbs. We do not offer will-call — everything we rent is fragile enough that we would rather carry it ourselves.

Tell us the evening you have in mind.

A date, a venue and a cover count is enough to start. We return a proposal with photographs of the exact pieces and a scaled floor plan.
