Flight
If you are flying in to Chicago, you have the choice of two airports, Midway International Airport or O'hare International Airport. Both airports have subway lines into the city, if you are planning to make a side trip to explore Chicago. From there, it is quite easy to get around Chicago with public transportation. For fun Chicago attractions, check out our "Things to Do" page. The ceremony and reception location take place in the suburbs of Chicago, with the reception location about 30 minutes away from the ceremony location. Traveling by car is the easiest way, and for out-of-towners, we suggest car rental. Listed on this page is a discounted car rental rate for wedding guests.
