-It will probably be hot! Keep that in mind as you plan your swanky outfits.

-When accessorizing that outfit, we recommend fancy sandals or platforms instead of heels, so you don't sink in the grass.

-Don't forget the sunscreen or bug spray!

-Pack the Benedryl if you have seasonal allergies. There will be hay. (And also....the general outdoors).

-We will have plenty of activities for social hour, including lawn games, fun mocktails and coffee drinks, photo opportunities, stations to leave messages and advice for the newlyweds, and more surprises!

-Our wedding is dry and ends at 9 pm, so we are not providing transportation, or blocks of rooms, as most people will be returning to their own homes or accommodations. Please plan accordingly. We are about 90 minutes from Chicago.

- This is our own family home, which we are thrilled to share with you! Just a reminder that all the work you will see is our own, and be ready to roll with the punches in case of weather or snafus!

-Party starts at 6 and has a strict out at 10 pm. The City of Chicago gets testy after that.

-We will be providing bride and groom cocktails, and a stocked bar. Check back soon to see what will be on the menu! If you don't see something on the list you'd like, please feel free to bring it yourself. We can't promise unlimited quantities, but we promise you'll have a good time.
