Where can we stay?
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in East Peoria. See the 'Travel' tab for more detailed information!
What should we wear?
We're asking our guests to dress in semi-formal attire. Think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or a nice blouse and skirt for women. For men, slacks with a button-down shirt—jackets and ties are welcome but not required. Feel free to dress up, but no need to go full black-tie!
What time does it start?
The wedding ceremony will begin at one o'clock in the afternoon at St. Mark Catholic Church. A cocktail hour will take place at Venue Chisca starting at four-thirty with dinner and dancing to follow.
Will transportation be provided to/from the hotel?
Yes! A shuttle will be provided. Currently, the shuttle will be departing from the hotel at 4:15 pm and 5:00 pm to head towards the venue. The shuttle will be departing from the venue to take guests back to the hotel at 10:00 pm and 10:30 pm. Please check updated times closer to the date!
What should we do in between the ceremony and reception?
This would be a perfect time to check into the hotel if you have not done so already. If you have extra time, view the 'Things to Do' tab to visit some of our favorite places near by!
Which room at the venue will the reception be held?
The wedding will take place in the Grand Ballroom, which is the upper room furthest away from Washington Street.
Where should we park at the venue?
Guests are welcomed to park in the lot attached to the venue. Gates for the lot will open at 4:30pm (see orange area in the image below).
Additional parking can be found on the corner of Adams St. and Persimmon St. (see orange area). If additional parking is still needed, guests may park in the lot across the street from the venue (see blue area in the image below). There is also street parking available.
