Q + A

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

The ceremony will start promptly at 5:00 PM CST. We ask that you arrive 15-30 minutes before as there is a short walk from the parking lot to the Robert R. McCormick House East Lawn (where the ceremony is taking place). A map of the park is provided on the home page to assist on where to go.

Where do I park?

Upon your arrival to Cantigny Park, you will go through a security checkpoint to be let into the park. You will say that you are there for the Zilinsky/Zentz Wedding. As you enter the park, stay left and there is a large parking lot that is free for you to park in. Try to park as close to the main building (the Vistors Center) with the flag pole as possible. If you are planning on drinking, you are able to leave your car at Cantigny and retrieve it the next day. We will let the security staff know that cars will be left overnight.

Is there a dress code?

We would love to see our friends and family get dressed up with us! Our dress code is cocktail attire. No jeans or shorts, please. Our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors. Our reception will take place indoors with plenty of air conditioning.

Can I bring my children?

We love all of our friend's and family's children! But respectfully, we ask that only those listed on the invitation attend unless told otherwise by either the bride or groom.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to the limited capacity of our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Ms. XYZ and Guest". We want everyone to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family. We hope you understand!

Can I take pictures throughout the ceremony/reception?

In order to ensure we are all fully present, we will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all phones and smart watches during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures upon request. During the cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!

What's the bar situation?

We will provide a full open bar with spirits, beer, cocktails and a selection of red & white wines. We will also have multiple non-alcoholic options & coffee/tea.

What if I have any dietary restrictions or allergies?

When you RSVP on this website, please indicate what dietary restrictions you may have so we can pass this information along to our venue.
