What time should I arrive?

Please arrive 15-30 minutes early prior to mass for the ceremony.

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?

Yes, we have blocks at three different hotels in Hammond, Indiana that will provide transportation, given that we meet our minimum booking. We recommend that you select one of these options to book as soon as possible; however, there are many other great hotels and AirBNBs in the Chicago area.

Will transportation be provided between to/from the hotel?

The hotel will provide transportation to and from the reception venue, so long as the minimum hotel rooms are booked in each block.

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #Coppus22 so we can keep track of all of your pictures!

Are there any COVID-19 precautions I should be aware of?

Neither we, nor our venues require proof of vaccination, and the city of Chicago has recently lifted its vaccine and mask requirement; however, some individual businesses may require one or both of these things in order to enter. We do ask for the safety and health of all guests, especially for those who may be immune-compromised, that you please obtain a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending.

I still have questions, what is the best way to contact you?

The best way to reach us with any wedding questions is to email the bride and/or groom justyna.coppus@gmail.com or joseph.coppus@gmail.com
