Q + A

What should I wear?

Cocktail Party or Semi-Formal attire.

What time should I arrive?

We ask that you arrive at the venue between 2:15pm - 2:45pm. The ceremony space is not conducive for welcoming late guests without being noticed. Once the processional starts, it will be difficult to be seated without causing a disruption.

Where do I park?

There is a private parking lot for the Bridgeport Art Center off of 35th Street. Look for the parking lot attendant.

Where do I go after I park?

We are getting married in the Sculpture Garden which is on the left hand side (east side) of the building once you park in the lot. Look for signs for the Sculpture Garden which is where the ceremony will take place.

Is the wedding inside or outside?

The ceremony will be in the Sculpture Garden which is a covered patio. The reception will be indoors.

Will there be alcohol served at the wedding?

No, Kelsey and Steve wish to have a dry wedding. Outside alcohol is prohibited at the venue, so please help us have a wonderful dry time and enjoy our delicious mocktails!

Is there a hotel block with discounted rates?

Yes! Check the Travel page of our website to see the hotel accommodations.

I am from out of town and don't have a car- what is the best way to get around the city?

If you are heading to a specific neighborhood in Chicago, using the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) is the cheapest but can take a longer amount of time. If you are going to specific places (out to eat or to the wedding venue) it may be best to use Uber, Lyft or hail a taxi. Although this could cost more, it will get you to your destination easier, quicker and more directly.

What time will the wedding end?

There will be a send off for Kelsey and Steve at 8:30pm. Guests are expected to be completely out by 9:00pm

Can I bring a guest with me to the wedding?

Kelsey and Steve want to celebrate with all of their family and friends, but unfortunately there is a limited capacity to the guest list.

If I am bringing my baby- can I bring my stroller?

We understand that with little ones come some needed equipment! We will ask that you place your stroller inside at the coat check so as to not get in the way of the bridal party entry and exit in the ceremony space.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

There will be seafood and beef served at dinner. If you have dietary restrictions, be sure to notate that in your RSVP, or message Kelsey and Steve separately to see if they can accommodate your needs.
