A shuttle bus will run continuously from the W (across the street from the JW Marriott) to River Roast.

Black-Tie Optional: Tuxes and long gowns are preferred, but not required.
Transportation for all guests (including if you're local to the Chicago area!) will be provided from the W City Center to Christ Church. Please meet the shuttles outside of the W (172 W. Adams) at 2:20pm. If you're unable to meet the shuttle schedule, we recommend Uber or a taxi as an alternative to get to Christ Church. If you're driving/Ubering to the church on your own and using Google Maps, please make sure you manually enter the address: 784 Sheridan, Winnetka (as opposed to searching "Christ Church Winnetka"). Our church has another building in Winnetka so we don't want you to end up in the wrong place! For information on parking at Christ Church, please see the FAQs.

Black-Tie Optional: Tuxes and long gowns are preferred, but not required.
Following the ceremony, shuttles will take all guests from Christ Church to the W City Center. If you are driving on your own from Christ Church to the W City Center, please see the FAQs for parking information.

If your plans allow, please drop by for a casual post-wedding brunch to say goodbye to the newlyweds! The Florentine is inside the JW Marriott, which is right across the street from the W.
