The dress code for the wedding is spring formal. Please wear bright or lighter colors or florals. Please NO WHITE or CREAM
As much as we love your kids, this wedding will be child free. Take the night off and have some fun! If you need babysitting accommodations, please let us know.
We have reserved a room block at the Carelton Hotel in Oak Park. This hotel is approximately 5min away from the wedding venue. Please mention "Barnes Wedding" when reserving a room for our block! Please reserve a room before March 4, 2025.
The venue is street parking only on a first come first serve basis. Overnight street parking is allowed. Our recommendation is to park at our hotel (The Carelton of Oak Park) and rideshare over to the venue.
There will be an after party at Kettlestrings Grove that is in walking distance of our hotel. Feel free to continue to keep the party going with us!
The dollar dance/money dance is a wedding tradition where guests line up to pin money onto the bride and groom's clothing while dancing with them, signifying a wish for financial prosperity and helping the couple start their life together!
