We recommend guests fly into Midway Airport which offers more convenient access to the city (15-25 minutes from downtown) and wedding festivities.
Once you arrive, there are several transportation options available, including rental cars, taxis, and public transportation. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
If Using Uber or Lyft:
- Open your app to request a ride
-When you’re ready, open the Uber/Lyft app to request a ride to your destination. -
-Choose the MDW airport transportation option that suits your group size and luggage needs.
-Exit on the baggage claim level
-Riders requesting at MDW should meet their driver downstairs on the arrivals level (near baggage claim). Exit through Door 4, cross the street, and meet your rideshare driver in the center lane.
-Meet your driver
-Go to your assigned MDW pickup location as specified by the app. Please note: this location may not always be at your nearest exit. Your driver’s name, license plate, and car color will show in the app. Verify your ride before you get in. If you can’t find your driver, contact them through the app.
Outside of Uber and Lyft, for general traveling during your visit in Chicago we also recommend using the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) which offers extensive coverage, convenience, and affordability to visitors exploring the city. With visitor passes, integrated fare systems, and accessibility features, the CTA provides a seamless transportation experience, allowing visitors to easily navigate Chicago's attractions and neighborhoods while saving money and time.
The wedding ceremony will take place at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, and we kindly request that all guests arrange their own transportation to the venue. We recommend using ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft or local taxi companies. Please make sure you have your app downloaded and set up ahead of time.
For those who will be driving, there will be free parking available in church parking lot for duration of the wedding from 2:30-10:30pm.
Again, please plan to arrive at 2:30 PM, to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. DOORS WILL BE CLOSED BY 2:30 PM.
Upon ceremony conclusion, group will be lead on a 5 minute walk to Cortelyou Commons Venue where cocktail hour and reception will be held. Accommodations are available to transport those with disabilities. Please let us know if you need access to these services.
