Our Wedding

Wedding Party

Through mutual friends, Claire and Peter met in 2015 studying abroad in Copenhagen. While the initial interest was one-sided, Peter never forgot about Claire. Fortunately for him, their paths again crossed nearly two years later in Chicago. After several more failed attempts, Peter finally did convince Claire out on a date. They've not been apart since.

Marriott Marquis Chicago

The Renaissance is optimal for guests who want the Downtown Chicago experience. As an added bonus, it's walking distance from the Chicago Architecture River Cruise.

Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel

Another great centrally-located option. Located in River North, The Pendry is walking distance from the Chicago Architecture River Cruise as well.

Saturday's party will not include a seated dinner, so we recommend taking the opportunity to enjoy one of Chicago's incredible restaurants. We have created a list below of our favorite eateries, organized by neighborhood. You will want to consider booking a reservation a month in advance if possible.
