Tournament add-on
The tournament add-on is only available for half space and full space buyouts. Due to the space required to host a tournament we can not accommodate a tournament on a smaller space reservation. The fee for a tournament facilitation package is $2500.
If you'd like to organize your own tournament, we've provided some DIY details here! We find unstructured free play works best for parties, but for extra competitive groups that are super-duper-excited about shuffleboard, a tournament can be a great option!
What the Package Includes
Lessons for participants
Coaching throughout the tournament
A detailed timeline of the tournament
Announcements to keep the tournament on schedule
A Tournament Director to run the tournament
Pre-event packets to distribute with instructions and details
Assigning of teams on request or team assignments can be provided to us
Printed brackets (foam board and handouts)
Printed team assignments (foam board and handouts)
Other Details to Ponder
Best way to encourage participation:
How are teams assigned?
We recommend letting your guests choose their tournament teams in advance and create fun team names! Perhaps they’ll even want to wear matching uniforms or play department versus department.
Will everyone want to play?
Tournaments are most successful when all the guests are excited to participate! On request, we can use portion of the courts to run a tournament and keep other courts available for free-play. This way guests will have a competitive or casual way to play!
-
Only in the case of a full venue private event do we permit the use of outside caterers.
All our in-house catering partners do offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. We do permit outside meals for guests with severe allergies or guests that require kosher options.
-
Our speaker system is wired throughout the entire venue, so in an effort to give the best experience to all our patrons, we only permit use of our audio systems in the case of a full venue private event.
The cabanas are on a slightly elevated platform, so we recommend standing on those for informal welcomes or hellos.
-
Unfortunately we’re a 20,000 square foot warehouse space with no private rooms available. We recommend working with Hotel Robey (just a few blocks away) to reserve pre or post event meeting spaces.
-
Events on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays are generally subject to peak day custom pricing. This pricing will vary based on the scope of the event. Reach out to our team at party@royalpalmschicago.com for pricing.

We permit under 21 guests only in the case of a full venue private event.
For corporate gatherings, we do permit staff members who are over 18 as long as they are employees of the company. We require their IDs on file and they will be wistbanded and included in the N/A portion of the packages.

Sure thing! Our venue is already adorned with plenty of tropical tidbits but we welcome in floral arrangements, table toppers, swag and more. Photobooths are also welcome but we do have a DIY option onsite.
