How should I RSVP? When do I need to RSVP by?
You can RSVP through the "RSVP" tab on our website. Kindly reply by June 14th so we can relay the final count to our vendors.
What is the dress code for the event?
Dress attire is black tie optional.
What time should I arrive at the venue?
The doors will open at 6pm with cocktail hour starting right away. Please arrive between 6 and 6:30pm to ensure you don't miss any of the party.
Is there a ceremony as well?
No, we are having a very small ceremony in Italy in June. This Chicago event will act as our wedding reception where we will have the cocktail hour, dances, dinner, drinks, a band, and more.
Is there parking offered at the venue?
Yes, for your convenience, we will have a valet parking service available for $20/car for the entire length of the event. This is the easiest and most cost efficient option but if you would rather not valet, there are parking garages a couple blocks away from the venue.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes. The open bar will last from 6-11pm. If you want additional alcoholic beverages during the last hour of the event, it will transition to a cash bar.
What type of food will be served at the event?
The Tortoise Supper Club is a full-service restaurant devoted to elevating classic Chicago supper club menus. There will be hors d'oeuvres, food stations for dinner, and a dessert spread. Special dietary restrictions can be accommodated upon request.
What time will the event end? Is there an after-party?
The event will end at midnight. There are no set plans for an after-party. However, downtown Chicago will certainly treat you to a good time if you want to keep the party going.
Will there be transportation to/from the hotels?
No, the hotel should be close enough to either walk or take a short Uber ride. There will also be valet parking at the event.
Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?
Yes, more information on hotel room blocks can be found on the "travel" page.
