How To Plan A Event For Special Occasion
Weddings aren’t the only occasions worth celebrating in style. The Chicago area offers fantastic venues with outdoor spaces perfect for bridal showers, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, and even corporate events. Incorporating a scenic outdoor element can make any gathering more memorable. Here’s how to take advantage of Chicagoland’s outdoor venues for a variety of special events.
Showers and Parties with Outdoor Charm
From bridal showers to milestone birthdays, hosting these events outdoors adds a special touch. Imagine a spring bridal shower in a blooming garden or a summer birthday bash on a riverside patio. Taking the party outside lets guests enjoy the lovely weather and scenery. It’s no wonder experts encourage hosting your party outside when the season is right
Look for venues that allow personal touches: you might bring in lawn games for a backyard vibe or set up a pretty picnic-style brunch. Eden’s Bridal & Baby Shower venue even has an enclosed veranda overlooking the Fox River for a picturesque, weather-proof celebration. Whether it’s a casual graduation open-house or an elegant rehearsal dinner, an outdoor setting makes it feel more special.
Corporate Events with a View
Work events and fundraisers don’t have to be stuffy. More planners are embracing outdoor elements for business gatherings – adding a breath of fresh air can boost attendees’ mood and engagement
Consider a company anniversary reception on a spacious patio or a team-building afternoon in a garden. Corporate retreats particularly benefit from nature; research shows spending time outdoors can improve group connections and spur creativity
Venues like Eden’s Corporate, Private & Formal Dinners space in St. Charles provide AV-equipped indoor areas and a riverside patio. Attendees can enjoy the best of both worlds: get down to business inside, then mingle and relax outside in a more informal atmosphere.
Tips for a Smooth Outdoor Event
Finally, plan around the weather (always have an indoor backup or tent option handy) and think of guest comfort. Little touches like providing shade, water, and bug spray will keep everyone happy so your event goes off without a hitch.
Chicagoland offers so many options beyond traditional banquet halls. From breezy patios to scenic waterfront lawns, you can celebrate almost any occasion al fresco – whether it’s a pre-wedding soirée or a casual Rehearsal Dinners & Birthdays gathering. Eden Events in St. Charles is a premier example, with versatile indoor-outdoor spaces and exceptional service.
