Due to deadlines regarding final headcounts & seating arrangements, we ask that you RSVP by March 20th, 2022.
In the event that you have already returned your RSVP card and the status of your RSVP and/or number of attending guests has changed, please let us know as soon as possible.
What should I wear?
We can't wait to dance the night away with our favorite people! Please dress to impress in your favorite semi-formal attire, excluding the color white.
What can I expect for parking?
Venue Chisca has a small lot directly outside the venue and entrance to the Grand Ballroom, however, spaces are limited. There is also street parking, as well as various public parking lots nearby which may be marked with signs. It is recommended that guests who are able ride together.
Can I bring a guest and/or plus one?
The exact number of reserved seats for your party can be found and is indicated on the enclosed RSVP card. This number includes children and/or plus ones. Due to limited space and reserved seating, we ask that guests only bring those indicated on their invitation, not exceeding the number of reserved seats listed.
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony & reception are indoors; however, there is a patio outside available for use during cocktail hour & the reception - weather permitting.
What accommodations are available?
We have reserved a hotel block at Embassy Suites in East Peoria, however, availability is limited.
If the block is fully booked at the time which you are trying to make arrangements, we recommend staying at the newly built Holiday Inn Express (2 miles from venue). For more information on any of these and any additional locations, please see the "accommodations" tab.
Will a shuttle be available?
For those staying at the Embassy Suites - due to COVID-19 restrictions & protocols, the Embassy Suites cannot guarantee that they will be able to offer a shuttle to get guests to and from the hotel and wedding venue. In the case that these restrictions change by wedding weekend, we will post any updates here!
