As soon as possible! Our wedding is on Lollapalooza weekend so it will be a busier weekend and hotels will have high demand, so best to get in before the rush.
Whichever you prefer! Either is great. Traffic from O'Hare into the city can be pretty bad, but if it's bad, you can take the blue line into the city and it's pretty turnkey.
As soon as possible ideally, but by July 1, 2025 if possible!
If you're staying at the Drake, you can walk or Uber/Lyft! It's a 5 minute walk, so super close.
Ideally 30 minutes before the ceremony so everyone can be seated and settled, as the bride will be walking down the aisle at 3pm!
Feel free to freshen up or grab a drink at the Drake or any of the nearby restaurants including Gibson's, Hugo's Frog Bar, LUXBAR, Tavern on Rush, Cloud Bar 360, Eight Bar & more!
Yes! Black tie optional/formal attire is requested.
