Is there a specific hotel we should stay in?
We have reserved a room block at our wedding ceremony and reception site, the Chicago Athletic Association. You can book at this link: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/CHIUB/G-FICD, or call the hotel at 844-312-2221 and mention the Ray -Major Wedding with the group code "G-FICD." We recommend booking your room early as they have limited availability! If you are unable to stay at the Chicago Athletic Association there are several hotels within a block or two of our venue.
Where is the ceremony and reception?
The ceremony and reception are both at the Chicago Athletic Association. The ceremony will be held in the Madison Ballroom and the reception will be held in the White City Ballroom.
Is the venue indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be held indoors at the Chicago Athletic Association.
Is transportation provided?
No, transportation will not be provided. Guests can stay at our venue location, or there are several hotels within walking distance. There is no need for a car or shuttle service in the city!
What time should I arrive?
Our ceremony will start at 5:00pm, so please arrive at least 15 minutes before so you can get settled in.
Can I Bring My Kids?
We love your children, but we kindly ask that this is an adult-only event, unless your child is specified on the invitation, or you are immediate family. We would love for this to be a fun night out for you, away from your kiddo(s)!
