Out-of-Towners Pre-Wedding Hang
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
2005 West Division Street, Chicago, IL 60622
We are so very excited to celebrate with you, and appreciate all of our friends and family traveling from so far to be with us. We wanted to maximize our time together, therefore we planned a small gathering the night before the wedding. If you happen to already be in town, we would love to see you, and have a few drinks before the big day! And if you are an “in-town guest and want to pop over, feel free - the more the merrier! We will have a cash bar, and plenty of snacks and noshy food. Feel free to grab dinner first if you have been eyeing one of the great local restaurants in the area! Consider this our text message to “meet at a bar and have a drink.”

Ceremony
4:30 pm - 5:00 pm
1366 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
Plan to arrive by 4:30, and we will have a short (but sweet) ceremony followed by a celebration all in the same place.
Party!
5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
1366 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
We have a strict “wear something you feel amazing in” policy for the wedding. Conventional rules do not apply here, so break out the gown you’ve been meaning to wear, or toss on a tuxedo t-shirt and jorts. Anything goes. We do suggest comfy shoes as seating will be limited and flexible.
Emporium Arcade Bar is just that, a bar. We won’t have a traditional sit down dinner followed by reception. Instead, we’ll have food available for whenever you are hungry during the first few hours of the reception 5:30 - 7:30 pm. We hope you are having so much fun challenging Aurelio to a game of Skeeball, or dragging Alena on the dance floor to even notice that we didn’t have a traditional dinner. Even though it will be casual, we promise there will be plenty to eat, drink, and celebrate!
After Party @ The Green Lady
Sat, Oct 15, 2022, 9:30 pm - Sun, Oct 16, 2022, 2:00 am
3328 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60657
The Green Lady has always been a special place for us. We met here years ago, we've made countless friends here, and we knew that we wanted to include The Green Lady in our wedding day! For those that want to keep the party going, Melani, the Green Lady herself, has graciously allowed us to take over her wonderful bar. For the beer nerds, there will be a bottle share so feel free to bring a bottle, but it's completely optional! Just a note, the after party is a cash bar so don’t forget to tip our wonderful bartender Kolby! Shuttle service from Emporium to The Green Lady is available for two departure times, 8:45 pm 9:15 pm. Let us know you plan to join so we save space for you on the bus! Let us know you are planning to join the after party by RSVPing.
