What is the Dress Code?

Dress up with us! We request that our guests join us in Formal attire for our Ceremony and Reception. We suggest knee-length cocktail dresses, floor-length dresses, suits, or nice slacks and sport coat (jackets required for men). Please reserve white attire for the bride.

Can I Bring a Date?

Venue capacity is restricted, so please refer to your invitation for clarity on your party's invited guests. Thank you for your understanding! Please reach out to the couple with further inquiries.

Can I Bring my Children?

While we love your little ones, our celebration is strictly adults-only with limited exception. Please refer to your invitation.

Is your reception indoor or outdoor?

Weather-permitting, it will be both! Cocktail hour will be outside, and dinner and dancing will be inside. October weather in Illinois can be unpredictable, so we recommend bringing a sweater or jacket for the evening.

Will there be a gift table at the wedding?

There will not be a gift table, but cards will be graciously accepted at the reception. While we appreciate the gesture of a wrapped gift, we unfortunately have limited space and prefer not to travel home with any gifts. However, for your convenience, our registry is set up to ship gifts directly to our house. Thank you for your understanding and generosity!

What Airport should we use?

Chicago O'Hare (ORD) is the recommended airport as it is approximately 30-40 minutes from the hotels and festivities. You can also fly into Chicago Midway (MDW), but the estimated travel time to the hotels is about 1.5-1.7 hours due to significant construction.

Will there be parking at the Church and Reception?

There will be plenty of parking availability for the Church ceremony and parking at the reception. There are several Uber and Lyft drivers in the area, so you can utilize these rides to transport you to the reception and take the shuttle back to the hotel if you prefer not to drive to the reception. You are welcome to leave your car at the reception and pick it up the next day. Please see the hotel page for shuttle times.

What is your RSVP date?

Please mail back your RSVP by September 14th, 2024. Due to limited venue space and layout planning, we will not be able to accomodate any RSVPs received after this date. Stay tuned for detailed schedule updates and get excited! We can't wait to see you and welcome you to our celebration.
