Q + A

What is the dress code?

Black-Tie Optional - spend the evening dressed up with us!

Help! What does that mean?

For Men: If you have a tuxedo, wear it! A dark suit and tie are also perfectly acceptable. For Women: A long evening gown is preferred, but a dressy cocktail dress is a great option, too. The bridesmaids will be in navy!

Can I bring a plus one?

This will be specified on your invitation.

Can I bring my children?

We love your children, but this is a 21 years and older event. We hope you use this time as a date night!

Will there be a time gap between the ceremony and reception?

Yes. Due to the groom's intense opposition to First Looks, we will be taking photos in between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. The church is 0.5 miles (about 11 minutes walking or a quick Uber) from our reception space. Guests will have plenty of time to walk it, explore, or grab a drink in between! There are endless options on the way - outlined in the "Things to Do" section.

Can I just come to the reception and skip the ceremony?

We understand that having our wedding on a Friday may be difficult with busy work schedules. That being said, we really hope that you do come to the ceremony. While we love a party, this day is truly about the commitment we are making in front of all our favorite people. If you can make it work, please do!

will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding will be indoors and in air conditioning. However, Chicago is usually hot in August, so plan accordingly!

What's the deal with parking?

Please see "Travel" for your parking options! We do not recommend driving to the actual events - Ubers / Lyfts / Taxis are plentiful, and Chicago is extremely walkable. Please do not drive after imbibing!

will you be serving alcohol?

Obviously.

What time should I go home?

There will be an after party; party with us until the sun comes up!
