What Time Should I Arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 5:30 PM. We ask that you begin to arrive at 5:00 PM to ensure that everyone will be seated by the start of the ceremony. Any late guests will not be able to be seated once the ceremony has started.
Where Is The Entrance Of The Venue?
You can find the entrance to The Monte Bello Estate from 135th street. The road that leads to the venue is directly next to The Montessori School of Lemont. It is a small road that leads to the estate. For any questions, please contact us.
Can I Bring A Date/Guest?
If you received a plus one, your guest's name will be listed on your invitation and with your RSVP. Otherwise, we want to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family. If you have any questions, we will be more than happy to answer.
Are Children Allowed?
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event (besides those included in the wedding party) so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so you can celebrate with us.
Do I Have To RSVP?
Yes. An RSVP is required for everyone. It is essential in planning for the ceremony seating and reception meals. If we do not get an RSVP back by SATURDAY, AUGUST 31ST, it will be marked as a "No."
How Do I RSVP?
We are using the theknot.com for all RSVPs. There will be a QR code for all guests to scan on the back of the formal invitation. This will directly take you to the RSVP link.
Guests can also access the RSVP tab through our wedding website. Simply go to the home page and select the tab labeled RSVP.
Please enter your full name for access. If your name doesn’t populate, but you’ve received a wedding invitation addressed to you, feel free to reach out with any questions!
Can I Take Pictures During The Ceremony?
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices are put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures. After the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you'd like to.
Is There A Nearby Hotel?
YES! Under the "Travel" tab on this website you can find my specialized rate for our hotel block! We chose to stay at The Hilton Garden Inn (Bolingbrook I-55). This is the closest hotel to the venue, but you are more than welcome to stay somewhere else of your choosing. Make sure you book through the link on the website so you can get our party's lowered rate!
Is There Parking On Site?
Yes, free parking is available. Guests can leave their cars overnight (if needed). All cars must be picked up by 10:00 AM the following day.
What Is The Dress Code?
We would love to see our friends and family dress up with us! We are hoping to see everyone in semi-formal/cocktail wear for our wedding.
Will There Be After Hours?
We would LOVE for you to spend the night with us at the Monte Bello until 12 PM. After the wedding, the bride and groom will head back to the Hilton Garden Inn Bolingbrook where the party will continue!
