Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace is known first as a stage, then as a wedding and banquet room just west of Chicago, at 100 Drury Lane. The ballroom already has presence — high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a formal floor — and it rewards decor that is confident and simple rather than busy. Satin Chair Event Design Studio has designed a reception here in a sharp black-and-white palette.
We dressed the room with black linens and black chiavari chairs with white cushions. A tall backdrop of black and ivory draping, softly uplit, stood behind the head table and gave the chandeliers a darker frame. Tall candelabras rose from the guest tables. The long head table ran in the same black linen, finished with a low floral and candle garland so the draping, not a tall centerpiece, stayed the backdrop for every seat.
That kind of contrast — dark tables, light draping, candlelight — photographs cleanly in a chandeliered room and still feels formal when guests walk in. We install the draping, tables, chairs and tabletop pieces from our Naperville inventory and handle teardown after the last dance. Full design or a la carte, each event is quoted for the date and the room.
Most clients book 6 to 18 months ahead. Visit our showroom at 429 East Ogden Avenue by appointment, Monday through Saturday, 9 to 5. If you are marrying at Drury Lane, bring your floor plan or a few photos and we will talk through backdrop height, head-table length and a palette that fits the theatre.
