Yes! There will be a shuttle to and from the Carleton of Oak Park Hotel. At 3:30 PM, the shuttle will drive guests from hotel to ceremony at Indian Gardens. At 4:45 PM, the shuttle will be available to drive guests from ceremony to the reception. (It's two blocks away, so very walkable if you like to walk.) At 11:00 PM, the shuttle will pick up guests from the reception and make two drop-offs: (1) at the Indian Gardens' parking lot, and (2) at the hotel.

We recommend street parking! There is plenty. Parking is free and permitted on one side of the street. Look for street signs that say, "No parking on this side of street." Additionally, we secured rights to use the parking lot at Indian Gardens until 11:00 pm. If you plan to leave by 11:00, you can park there. This parking lot is two blocks from the reception. You can walk or take the shuttle to the reception. The shuttle will also be available to take you back to the parking lot at 11:00.

The ceremony and reception are two blocks apart (0.3 miles) down a quiet residential street. If you are able to walk, we recommend leaving your cars parked where they are and walking over. Alternatively, you are welcome to take the shuttle. (See more details in question above). You can also drive and park closer to the reception.

YES! We are at risk of taking over all of the street parking in the neighborhood :)

Semi-formal. Whatever makes you feel cute and comfortable! A word on shoes — We will be on soft grass, so choose prudently!
