We have arranged a shuttle service for your convenience (check out the travel page of our website!). Street parking is available on 8th Street, 9th Street and Michigan Ave. Adjacent to St James 1868 are two paid public surface lots, the Library Lot and the Wells Fargo Lot. Please allow extra time to park and arrive at the celebration comfortably.
Question
What time should I arrive?

Because the ceremony begins promptly at 4:30 pm, we recommend you aim to arrive at least 20-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to park and take your seat.
Question
Venue
Answer
Our ceremony and reception will be held at The St. James 1868 in the Abbey space. Please note: The venue has two separate event spaces, so be sure to head to the Abbey, which is accessible through the main front entrance with the red door. There will be event staff (and friendly faces!) to help guide you.

Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The dress code is formal. Suits, tuxedos, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns are all welcome as we celebrate in style.
Question
Indoors/Outdoors
Answer
All events will be held at St. James 1868. The ceremony will take place indoors, followed by a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres in the outdoor courtyard, weather permitting. We’ll wrap up the night with dinner and dancing indoors during the reception.
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do." We have hired a professional photographer to capture this beautiful moment for us and we promise to share our photos. Before and after the ceremony, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you'd like!
