Yes, you can hire your own decorator. However, you should let the private birthday party venue manager know in advance as some venues might suggest hiring an on-site decorator for your event. It also depends on whether you’re hiring only a private room or the whole space for the event at the birthday space. In any case, you should contact the event coordinator prior to hiring your decorator.
While you can find many parks all over Chicago that you can rent for your event, if you’re looking to showcase the city, we suggest hosting your birthday in some of its prettiest neighborhoods like Ravenswood, Lakeview, or Logan Square. These private spaces are ideal birthday locations if you’re planning an outdoor event and want to enjoy the lush scenery before or after your celebration.
