Question

Do I need to wear a mask?

Answer

Short answer: Yes Long Answer: Chicago is requiring people to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. You will need to wear a mask when not actively drinking or eating.

Question

I'm not Vaccinated, am I still invited?

Answer

While the choice to get vaccinated remains yours - the bride and groom are asking that you take others into account when deciding to come to the wedding. You are welcome to come, however, you will be putting others at risk - mainly children who cannot get vaccinated. If you do decide to come and are unvaccinated, we recommend that you get a COVID test at least 3 days prior to the event to make sure you will not be a source of infection.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Yes, children are welcome to attend. There will be an area where kids can play and, if the weather is nice, there is a small outdoor area.

Question

Is there parking?

There is parking around the venue however it is VERY LIMITED and you will need to pay for it. We recommend taking some form of public transportation or using a rideshare company if you don't want to fight for parking spaces.
