How do I RSVP?

You can RSVP right here on this website! We will have a buffet dinner, so no need to select a meal choice!

RSVPs are due April 9th

What should I wear?

Suits with our without ties are suggested for the men.

For women: dressy-casual to semi-formal works! A spring dress, midi -dress, jumpsuit... whatever you're comfortable in for afternoon to evening!

Keep in mind: our wedding venue is mostly outdoors! Spring in Chicagoland is variable. One week out it's looking sunny and high of 65*. Barring rain, the ceremony will be outside under a large oak, so skip to very high/narrow heels!

Ladies: We recommend you bring a jacket, sweater or wrap. Dinner and dancing is in the covered pavilion with a few heat lamps, but it will still get cooler as the evening goes on!

What time should I arrive?

Seating will begin at 3:30pm and the ceremony will begin at 4:00pm. The venue offers on-site parking, but if it's a nice day allow yourself a few minutes to walk from the lot, and to enter the venue for seating.

What's for dinner?

We will have a reception with passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated buffet dinner with a variety of options starting at 5:30pm.

What's to drink?

We will be offering a selection of refreshments including sodas, beer, wine, mixed drinks and of course a signature cocktail!

Can I take pictures?

During our ceremony we request that all devices be off so that we can see the faces of everyone that we love. Once the ceremony is completed please feel free to take as many photos as you like.

Will there be parking?

Yes! The Grove has plenty of parking and is easily accessible via Uber or Lyft. If you are staying at the Sheraton Northbrook, a shuttle from the hotel will offer two trips to and from the venue.

Is anything planned on Friday night?

The night before our wedding we are not planning a traditional rehearsal dinner, and instead welcome guests to stop by our house anytime between 6 and 9pm for a 'Taste of Chicago' = lots of BBQ and some salads and sides

Where are you registered?

As we have more than enough stuff, we are not planning to register, your presence on our special day is a gift! That said, we know many would like to give something, so we will be requesting contributions to our favorite animal rescue or you may gift towards our honeymoon or Mark's garden fund.
