Q & A

Question

Is this a wedding?

Answer

Sort of! We're skipping the formal ceremony and going straight to the celebration. Think of it as a wedding-inspired party—no aisle, no vows, just good vibes with a great view. We’re keeping things casual—don’t expect assigned seats or plated courses.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Summer Cocktail Attire—think festive, comfortable, and polished. The party is on a boat, so shoes that will keep you on your feet are most important!

Question

What about transportation?

Answer

The dock is a short walk from the State/Lake El stop, or the Red line's Lake stop. If you're driving, the most convenient parking option is the Illinois Center - LAZ Parking Service Garage located at 111 E. Wacker Dr. The entrance is the first driveway east of Michigan Avenue, on the south side of Upper East Wacker Drive. Reservations can be made online or through SpotHero. First Lady can validate parking!

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We set sail at 7:15pm and cannot wait for late arrivals. Please plan to arrive by 7:00pm so you don't have to stress about missing the boat.

Question

Is this a child-friendly event?

Answer

We love your little ones, but this celebration is just for adults.
