About This Area
The north and northwest suburbs are home to a dense concentration of corporate campuses, office parks, and hotel conference centers — and Sterling serves them regularly.

We also serve private events across the north shore and northwest suburbs — graduation parties, milestone birthdays, and outdoor weddings in Wilmette, Northbrook, Glenview, and surrounding communities. Northwest suburb properties often offer more outdoor space than Chicago venues, making larger tent footprints more accessible.

Common Questions
How much does event rental cost in Schaumburg and the north suburbs?
Sterling Event Rentals has a $500 minimum rental order.

Corporate picnics, company appreciation days, team-building events, and large outdoor company gatherings are among our most common bookings in the north and northwest suburbs. We regularly set up in the Schaumburg corporate corridor, Arlington Heights and Palatine office parks, and the Rosemont event district. Typical corporate setups include large frame tents for 100–300 guests, stage and presentation equipment for outdoor ceremonies, full table and seating packages, and entertainment rentals. For corporate events, we recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance for peak summer dates.
What size tent do I need for a north suburb event?
Allow 10–12 square feet per guest for seated dinner events and 6–8 square feet for cocktail or standing-room events. A 20×20 tent (400 sq ft) seats approximately 30–40 guests at round tables. A 30×60 tent (1,800 sq ft) seats approximately 150–180 guests. Northwest suburb venues — corporate campuses, park district sites, and residential properties in Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Glenview — typically offer more outdoor footprint than city venues, which often allows for larger or more flexible tent configurations.
Use the full tent sizing guide →How far in advance should I book event rentals in the north suburbs?
We recommend 2–3 weeks minimum for most private events. Corporate picnics and large outdoor company events in the peak summer season (June through August) book faster — often 4–6 weeks out. The Schaumburg and Arlington Heights corporate event corridor is especially active between Memorial Day and Labor Day. For any event over 150 guests or requiring multiple tent structures, earlier is always better. Call (773) 692-7576 to check availability for your specific date.
