Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! We’d love to see our friends and family get fancy with us. The dress code for our wedding is black tie and we encourage guests to dress up with tuxes, suits, midi and floor-length dresses. No jeans, please. We can’t wait to capture everlasting moments with our people in their fabulous outfits!
Question
Staying in Chicago?
Answer
We’d love to encourage everyone to enjoy the beautiful city of Chicago for the rest of the weekend! Brendan and Kelly will be watching college football at one of their favorite bars (Kincades) around noon for anyone wanting to continue the fun. We also recommend checking out our things to do page for our favorite spots in Chicago!! FYI, the Chicago marathon is Sunday so plan accordingly.
Question
When Should I RSVP By?
Answer
To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the event as soon as possible. However, the deadline is August 15th, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no'. We need to provide the venue with total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you can understand!
Question
Can I Bring a Plus One?
Answer
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed within the subject line of the email invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people in the invitation are in attendance.
Question
Are Children Welcome?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, our wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of immediate family who are part of our wedding party.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! There will be open bar for the cocktail hour, throughout the reception party! We want you to have the best time, so the drinks are on us but the hangover is on you :)
Question
Is any part of the wedding outside?
Answer
Yes! The cocktail hour following the ceremony will be outside along the Chicago River on the RPM Event patio space from 5-6:30pm. There will be heaters and we hope the sun will be shining, but please make sure to dress appropriately and bring scarves / shalls and jackets if necessary.
