Travel Note
TO & FROM HOTELS Unfortunately, we do not have a shuttle bus or any arranged transportation available. Our suggestion is to take an Uber or Lyft. The Ace is 1/2 mile away, and about a 10 minute walk to Brique. The Crowne Plaza is 1 mile away, and roughly a 5 minute drive. FROM BRIQUE TO THE AFTER PARTY If you wish to join the group at the Ace Hotel bar for a night cap, it is 1/2 mile away from Brique. The distance is certainly walk-able if the weather cooperates and you're feeling up for it. Otherwise, our best suggestion would be to order an Uber or Lyft to the hotel.
Hotel
**Our room block is full for this hotel. Discounted rates are no longer available** The Ace is not only the closest property to our wedding venue (only 1/2 mile away), but by far the nicest/coolest hotel you’ll find in the area. Street parking is available, just be mindful of signed parking restrictions. If you choose to park at the hotel, it is available for $57/night. There are also covered and uncovered lots 2 blocks East of the hotel (3-4 minute walk) that will be MUCH cheaper. Search 366 N Peoria or 315 N Peoria for these options. We suggest using Spot Hero and booking ahead of time! Lastly, we have also reserved space in the lobby-level bar “City Mouse” for an after party. Everybody is welcome!
