ROOM BLOCKS

We have room blocks available at 3 hotels within walking distance from our venue. There are also a few additional hotel recommendations listed here that we think are lovely, but we do not have a dedicated room block at.

This hotel is less than a minute walk to the front door of our wedding venue, and this is our recommended hotel for the weekend! -Run of House rate with our block is $229/night (King room)- Double Room rate with our block is $259/night

This hotel is a 3-minute walk to the wedding venue. The Residence Inn does not have double bedded rooms (for example, no two queen bed rooms). Both the Residence Inn and Springhill Suites share same common spaces such as the lobby, restaurant, and bar. Breakfast is included in your rate! Room rate is subject to applicable state and local taxes (currently 17.4% per room per night) ineffect at the time of check-in. Please use the link provided to access our block directly.

Travel

One of the best things to do in Chicago! Cruise down the Chicago river taking in all the gorgeous architectural sites while learning about Chicago's history. There are also alcoholic libations available on board.

Chicago Architecture River Cruise

In addition to checking out the Bean for a mirror selfie, we also recommend walking around the surrounding Millennium Park. Enjoy the rose garden, grab lunch at the Plaza at Park Grill, splash around in Crown Fountain, or watch the rock climbing at&nbsp;Maggie Daley Park.

The Bean

Bop around one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago for food &amp; drink. Stop into Parlor West Loop to enjoy a piece of pizza at the place Julia &amp; Ivaylo first met, or enjoy a cocktail on Bandit's patio, where Ivaylo finally got Julia's phone number! We recommend anywhere in the West Loop, but some of our favorites are; Trivoli Tavern, Cabra, Aba, BLVD, Rosemary, Nobu Rooftop, The Oakville, and Levain Bakery.

West Loop

Enjoy the shores of Lake Michigan - rent a Divvy bike for some exercise and ride along the lakefront trail, go for a morning run, or enjoy a cocktail at Caffe Olivia at Ohio Street beach.

Lake Michigan

Enjoy the many fabulous museums that Chicago is known for. The Art Institute, the Field Museum, the Planetarium, the Museum of Science &amp; Industry, even the Museum of Ice Cream!

Chicago Museums

The Sox are in town playing the Giants Friday-Sunday. While we'd love to send you to Wrigley Field, the Cubbies are on the road.

White Sox vs. San Francisco Giants

While the Cubs are not in town, it's always worth a trip up north to the iconic Wrigley Field.
