We are happy that people might join us for our special day from afar. We live in what I consider the country (goat farms & cow pastures near by), so if you are coming in for the weekend, we might suggest staying in Chicago, with all the city has to offer.
Our house is about 1 - 1.5 hours from various places downtown and depending on traffic.
If you wanted to be closer, some of the surrounding suburbs include Mundelein, Vernon Hills, and Libertyville.
All of these burbs are about 30-40 minutes away.
