The Ceremony will begin at promptly 4:30pm. Please plan accordingly and arrive at least 15-30 minutes early to ensure you are seated when the Ceremony begins. If you arrive late, please wait to come in until the Ceremony has concluded out of respect for the Bride and Groom.

The dress code is Formal/Black Tie optional. Ladies, this can be anything from a formal cocktail dress to a floor-length gown. Gentlemen, this can be a suit and tie or, if you’re feeling extra fancy, a tux. We would love you to have fun with it and see you all dressed to the nines with us on our big day! Spring and summer colors are welcome, this is a celebration! Use this as an excuse to wear that one outfit in your closet you never get to wear! Please refrain from wearing neon colors or white.

She welcomes the fun distraction!

We have an amazing photo/video team that will be capturing our day. We ask that you put your phones away and refrain from any photos/videos during the ceremony. Once drinking and dancing begin, please feel free to capture the love and tag us in your pics!

We have spent time carefully curating our guest list and we are excited to celebrate with our close family and friends. We can only accommodate guests formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you do receive a plus one, it will be listed on your invitation.

We love your kiddos, but we are asking that you do not bring them to the wedding festivities. We want our friends and family with littles to feel present and enjoy a well-deserved evening off!

We have booked a Hotel Block at the Best Western Plus Elgin-Chicago near the venue. Please look at the 'Travel' tab for more information and a booking link.

There is plenty of parking at The BRIX. Please park in front of the Industria building in which the ceremony and reception will be held. The Industria is on the right side when facing the river. There will be signs to make sure you know where to go!

We will have wine and beer choices, as well as two signature alcoholic drinks and one signature mocktail! The drinks are on us but please be responsible and have a plan for how to get home safely if you decide to drink. The bartenders will cut you off at their discretion.
