We will be providing a shuttle service between the Clarion Hotel and the venue. For guests who are within driving distance, there is free on-site parking available.

Our evening ceremony (weather permitting) will be held outside the mansion, while cocktail hour and the reception will be held in the ballroom. Guests will walk to the garden on brick pathways but need to step on grass briefly to take their seats. For that reason, stiletto to otherwise thin heels are not recommended.

If you miss the deadline to reserve a room in our block, reach out to the hotel and mention our wedding anyway, they may be able to accommodate you with our wedding discount in a room outside of our block. If not, you can find additional nearby accommodations on our travel page.

O'Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport are the closest airports. Both are about an hour's drive from the venue and hotel.

Our dress code is formal attire. We suggest wearing a suit in any color or wearing a cocktail dress. Please avoid wearing colors typically reserved for the bride (white and any other shades of white).

We will be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner. There will be meals accommodating guests with dietary restrictions.

There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception.

We ask that guests arrive around 5:00 pm to give enough time for seating as the ceremony starts promptly at 5:30 pm.
