Question

Is there parking at The Arbory?

Answer

While The Arbory does not have a dedicated parking lot, there is ample free street parking along Grand Ave and within the neighborhood. We have also secured a private parking lot a short walk away for added ease with parking. The lot is located at Mitchell Elementary School, with the entrance to the lot located directly behind the school on Race Street (2233 W Race Ave). Race street is a one-way street, so please see the image above for a visual on how best to enter the parking lot!

Question

When can I arrive for the event?

Answer

The doors to The Arbory will open for guests starting at 4:30 pm! You can enter the building and take in the beauty of the venue before grabbing a seat for the ceremony (which will start at 5:00 pm)! We'll see you all there 😊

Question

What's for dinner?

Answer

I mean, is there any question that's ever been asked more frequently than this one?? For the wedding, we'll be having a buffet style dinner from True Cuisine and Sweet Baby Rays! Since it's not a plated service, you don't need to indicate your meal choice when you RSVP.

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

The dress code for the wedding is cocktail or formal, whichever feels more fun to you! Given typical Chicago weather patterns in early April, it could either be a lovely summer day or a winter blizzard, so you can choose your own adventure when it comes to attire 😊
