Our Wedding

Ben and Nina met on a fateful Saturday night - Ben was out with a good friend and just so happened to be sitting at Nina's favorite seat in her favorite bar. Unbeknownst to Ben, Nina just got stood up on a Hinge date so was not in a mood to be messed with. Luckily, she fell for his captivating charm and smile and forgot about her troubles. Soon they discovered a shared love for good pop punk music, a passion for cooking they didn't know they had, and sitting down next to each other with a good book. After a few wonderful beach vacations in Myrtle Beach and Puerta Vallarta, Ben finally popped the question and Nina said yes! Join them in their next chapter as they officially tie The Knot™️

Q + A

Please, please book as soon as you know you are able to make it. See below for the info sent from the hotel - there are not any blocks of rooms set aside. Additionally, this is St Patrick's Day weekend so be mindful the hotel could get booked sooner than expected. Also, because of St. Patrick's Day in Chicago we highly recommend avoiding the downtown area, as it will likely be chaotic. Since we are a 99-room hotel we do things a little differently and more conveniently for you! With that being said, we do not formally “book” or “contract” wedding blocks in the hotel. Instead, we offer a discount code that you can provide to your guests (or list on TheKnot or any other wedding website). Therefore, you are not responsible for assuring that everyone makes their reservations by a specific date. I would encourage guest to make reservations sooner than later because we do tend to be very busy.&nbsp;By using the link listed below guests will be able to make reservations starting today at a discounted rate. The discount varies up to 18% off of our standard rate based on the event dates and hotel availability.&nbsp;Best of all you are not responsible for guaranteeing a certain number of rooms in order to receive the discounted rate. We made it easy!&nbsp;Below is the link and you can share with guests or post on your website TODAY!Wedding Rate URL:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/illinois/hyatt-place-chicago-wicker-park/chizk?corp_id=85917" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wedding Room Discount Link</a>&nbsp;If guest decide to call to make reservations, please list the following information:Ask for the ‘WEDA’ rate plan to reserve the Wedding Rate Discount or&nbsp;CR #85917Hyatt Place Chicago Wicker Park1551 W.

If you like really cool used and new books, this is one of the best second-hand bookstores in Chicago, not far from the hotel.

Myopic Books

Awesome record store with a wide range of music and artists (occasional live music too). Feel free to buy Ben and Nina a record or CD while you're there!

Reckless Records

Great vintage clothing store, on a block with several others if you're feeling in a shopping mood.
