Black tie optional is requested. Think polished and celebratory for the occasion, whether that’s a tux, a suit, a gown, or an elevated cocktail look. We want everyone to feel confident and comfortable while keeping the evening formal-leaning.
Yes! We will be at the Dalcy/Aba all night!
We recommend arriving at 4:00pm for our 4:30pm ceremony to allow time to get settled.

Please see our Travel page for details on our room block at The Emily Hotel, which is just a short walk from the venue and our top recommendation. Beyond our hotel block, Chicago offers many great hotels and Airbnbs. We recommend West Loop and River North for their proximity to the venue and great bars/restaurants, or Lincoln Park if you’d enjoy being closer to the lake.
Yes! Valet parking is available at the venue. Street parking is also an option; however, the area can be quite busy on summer weekend evenings and parking may be limited. If you are staying at The Emily Hotel, the venue is only a short walk away. Otherwise, we recommend arriving by Uber/Lyft for convenience and ease.
Transportation will not be provided. The venue is a short walk from The Emily Hotel, and guests staying elsewhere are encouraged to use Uber/Lyft for ease of travel. Valet parking will be available for those who prefer to drive.
