Kick off the weekend with us in the neighborhood we call home! Hosted by the Powers Family, join us for a celebration filled with drinks, light bites, and great company. We’d love for all our guests to have an evening of fun and relaxation in the West Loop the night before our wedding. Please note, the restaurant is about a 10-15 minute car ride from the hotels!

Once you arrive at the Café Brauer, you'll find our ceremony location a short walk away at The Honeycomb in Lincoln Park. This special spot perfectly reflects our love for Chicago and the people who make it home. We can’t wait to say “I do” with all of you in this unforgettable setting!

Cocktail hour will be hosted at the Café Brauer - please enjoy a cocktail - or mocktail - on us!

After cocktails, we'll celebrate with great food, great company, and a live band to keep the dance floor going all night!

Let's keep the weekend celebration going with a relaxed, open-house breakfast hosted by the Lovely family. Stop by anytime between 10am and 12pm to enjoy good food, great company, and one last chance to celebrate together!
