A Note From Us
We are so happy to welcome you here and even happier to celebrate with you in person. Our wedding is meant to feel warm, thoughtful, and full of heart - an autumn evening shaped by family, candlelight, beautiful conversation, and the kind of joy that lingers long after the night is over. Thank you for being part of this chapter with us. Having the people we love together in one place is what will make this day unforgettable.
More than anything, we want the day to feel deeply personal.
We have always loved celebrations that feel thoughtful, warm, and deeply personal. That is what we hope this wedding will be — a joyful evening rooted in love, family, and the people who have helped shape our lives. Every detail has been chosen with care, with a focus on creating a night that feels welcoming, timeless, and unmistakably ours. More than anything, we hope you feel how grateful we are to celebrate this moment with you.

FAQs
Question
Where exactly is this happening?
Answer
At Community House in Winnetka, Illinois. If you end up in Indiana or Wisconsin, you’ve gone too far. If you’re early, you’re perfect.
Question
What should I expect from the evening?
Answer
A meaningful ceremony, a flowing cocktail hour, a dinner to savor, and a dance floor that just might win over even the most reluctant guests. Our hope is simple: a night that feels as good as it looks.
Question
What’s the dress code?
Answer
Think elevated and festive — a chance to dress up and feel your best. When in doubt, a little extra polish is welcome. Weather permitting, we’ll also be enjoying the entire celebration outdoors, so please keep the autumn season in mind.
Question
Will there be food?
Answer
Yes, and plenty of it. All options were thoughtfully chosen in the hopes that the meal is worth your time. Sticking around in the later evening will earn your chance to snag some late night treats!
Question
Will there be drinks?
Answer
Also yes. Responsibly enjoyed, enthusiastically remembered.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
If your invitation says you can, absolutely. If it doesn’t, we promise it’s not personal—we just wanted to keep the room full of people we know and love (and can confidently seat without chaos).
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
We love your kids. This evening is designed for adults with the exception of kids who are in the wedding party.
Question
What if I still have questions?
Answer
Reach out. Preferably before the wedding day. Week of questions should be directed to the Maid of Honor or Mother of the Bride.
