It is a dream come true to have our reception at The Field Museum. It is our favorite museum, and we couldn't imagine a better place to begin our lives together surrounded by family, friends, and history. Cocktail hour will begin on the terrace at 6 p.m. where hors d'oeuvres will be served. Guests will then make their way to Stanley Field Hall for dinner and partying the night away until midnight. The dress code is formal attire. The Field Museum 1400 S.
