ARE KIDS INVITED?

We love your kids but thought you might like a night off. Adults only please!

WHERE SHOULD I STAY IN Chicago?

We have room blocks at two hotels in Chicago that are first come, first served. The Rolling Stones are playing in Chicago the weekend of our wedding so we highly recommend booking your hotel ASAP. The links to book and more details are available in the "Travel" section.

WHERE WILL THE CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR, AND RECEPTION TAKE PLACE?

These will all take place at the same venue (The Old Post Office). The cocktail hour will be held outside on the rooftop (weather permitting).

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR THE CEREMONY?

The pre-ceremony drinks will begin at 4:30 p.m. We recommend arriving then, due to Chicago traffic. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5 p.m. If you are driving or ubering please allow extra time for city traffic, as it can get quite congested around the area.

IS THERE PARKING AT THE VENUE?

Yes, there is parking at the Old Post Office for $15 per vehicle for up to 12 hours. If you plan on drinking, uber/lyfts are easily accessible and both hotels blocks are less than a 15 minute walk.

SHOULD I RENT A CAR?

Up to you! But we don't think it's necessary. Taxis and rideshares (i.e., Uber and Lyft) are plentiful in the city and at the airports. If you do rent a car and stay at a hotel, the garage parking may be very expensive (note: you may be able to find cheaper nearby garages). There is parking at the wedding venue for those with cars.

Rehearsal & Welcome Party Parking

If you are driving to St. Ignatius free parking will be on Roosevelt road just west of St. Ignatius. For those attending the rehearsal the entrance will be via the main entrance on Roosevelt. Guests will enter, go about 30 feet, and then turn right when inside the building and there will be an elevator to go to the 4th floor. There will be security and signs to help guide as well. Entrance for the welcome party will be through a garden just east of the main entrance. Once again, there will be signs to help guide people.

Hotel Check In

Just a reminder if you are staying at the W City Center or The Residence Inn standard check in is 4 p.m. CST. If you check in via the Marriott mobile app and request early check in you will be notified as soon as your room is ready with a virtual key. We recommend all guests do this since the wedding begins at 4:30 p.m. CST.
