Free valet parking is available at Café Brauer. When you arrive at the venue address, drive into the roundabout and valet will take care of your vehicle. If you prefer to self park, we recommend using Spot Hero since paid street parking is limited.

A ring-warming is a Celtic tradition that allows us to involve all of our guests in a unique way. You'll get the opportunity to hold and imbue our wedding bands with a wish or blessing for our marriage before we exchange rings at our wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony is at the Peoples Gas Pavilion in Lincoln Park Zoo, about a 5-minute walk from Café Brauer. Please meet at 5:15 PM outside Cafe Brauer where our attendants will guide a procession to the ceremony site. Golf cart transportation will be available for those who need assistance getting to the ceremony.

We've reserved blocks of rooms at the Claridge House and the Sonesta ES Suites, both of which are a short drive from our wedding venue. See the Travel page of our site to book at discounted rates.
