ONE-STOP-SHOP PARTY PLANNING



HIGHWOOD, IL (OCTOBER 2010) - A North Shore staple since 1949, The Alley Highwood has since undergone a total restoration of the 61-year old bowling alley, which stands on the original site of the Highwood Fairgrounds.  Originally named Mary Jane Lanes, in addition to being a popular bowling destination, it was also a concert hall for well-known acts such as The Ramones, The Jump in the Saddle Band and Cheap Trick.  Since then, The Alley has revamped itself with a state-of-the-art plug-n-play sound system and DJ booth, a 2,000 square foot entertainment area for live music including bandstand, dance floor, tables and pool, the installation of six projection and 11 flat screen TV’s upstairs, and a private party room on the lower level that is available with fully stocked bar and TV’s, turning The Alley into a perfect venue to accommodate any private party from birthdays, anniversaries, bridal and baby showers, wedding celebrations and bachelor/bachelorette parties to charities, corporate events and meetings.

The Alley Highwood has event options for every budget and offers a myriad of entertainment vehicles at an extremely affordable cost. Their in-house party planners work with event coordinators to provide turn-key planning, can arrange outside entertainment, including magicians, musicians, art projects, caricature and balloon artists, offer DJ packages that also include dancers and an emcee, and full catering with a wide variety of menu choices.  Instant party packages are also available.

“There’s only so much you can do at a restaurant, local ballroom or banquet hall,” says Steve Goldstein, co-owner of The Alley Highwood  and owner of a Chicago area commercial real estate company. “The Alley offers guests a state of the art entertainment facility able to host private events for up to 350 guests with cosmic bowling, billiards, , bags, karaoke, a full wall of projection TV’s showing every major sporting event, live music and a large dance floor. We’ve worked hard to add fun features and options for people of all ages.”

With the holiday season right around the corner, The Alley is the prime spot to host upcoming festivities, theme parties, private, team building, corporate or Christmas gatherings.
