Although we would love to have everyone we care about at our wedding, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget and meet our venue restrictions. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you!
We want you to be able to relax and celebrate with us, which is why we've decided to have an adults-only event. We appreciate you making arrangements for the kids. Make it a date night!
Your presence at our wedding is the best present of all, and we're lucky to have all that we need. However, if you'd like to get us a gift, we would appreciate contributions towards our honeymoon fund. You can find our honey fund on the registry page.
Although we can't predict the exact weather, this is Chicago in the wintertime! We recommend packing a coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. The venue is a short 5-minute walk from the hotel.
We have a reserved hotel room block at the Residence Inn Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile. Please see our travel page for more information on booking your stay.
The venue offers discounted parking for the duration of the wedding for $10 (garage located at 33 W Ontario - pull a ticket and the restaurant can validate it for you), or you can use the SpotHero app to locate parking nearby for as long as you need. The hotel offers valet parking only (no self-park) for $75 per night.
We are not providing formal transportation for the wedding; the ceremony and dinner are taking place in the same venue. The hotel is a short walk, but please feel free to utilize rideshare if that is more comfortable!
The dress code is semi-formal or cocktail attire. For men: we suggest a suit, blazer, or button down with pants. For the ladies: a dress, jumpsuit, or dressy separates would all be perfect.
We have hired a professional photographer to capture this special day. So that you can be completely present for the ceremony, we ask that you stash your phones. You're more than welcome to take photos and videos for the rest of the evening!
Heck yea! We will be offering a full bar of wine, beer, and spirits.
The wedding dinner will conclude at 9:30PM, but we will continue the celebration somewhere fun afterwards! Our party will have reserved seats for anyone who chooses to stay out late with us.
