What are the other events besides the wedding?

The wedding party will have a private rehearsal dinner on Thursday. We have an open welcome party on Friday for everyone at the Simpson house. We are also looking into an afterparty space directly following the wedding reception.

Who is the day-of contact?

Our amazing wedding planner, Linda Alpert, can be reached at 847-254-9891.

What is the dress code?

The dress code is Summer Semi Formal. Filipino formal wear (Barong Tagalog, Terno sleeves, etc.) is also welcome and encouraged.

Can we bring our children to the wedding?

The short answer is - absolutely yes! We have a professional babysitting service at Hotel Lincoln during the reception. We will reach out to each parent individually to review their options.

What is your plus-one policy?

We are limiting the guest list only to those explicitly invited. If you have any questions, please reach out to us directly.

Is there parking at the venue?

Public parking is limited because of the zoo next door. We highly encourage everyone to take a cab or Uber.

How far is the ceremony from the venue?

The ceremony and venue are both in the South Pond area of Lincoln Park. It is a 2-minute walk at most, and we have a golf cart for anyone who needs a ride!

Is there a rain plan?

The ceremony location is roofed. However, if there is enough rain, we are fully prepared to set up the ceremony inside Cafe Brauer.

Is the bar an open bar?

Yes! Please enjoy!
