Guests may arrive as early as 5 p.m. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. followed by a cocktail hour 6 - 7 p.m. Dinner and dancing will run 7 p.m. - midnight. We strongly encourage the use of Metra, Ubers, Lyfts, and cabs. The venue is only a 5-6 minute ride from Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station. We will have standard cabs stationed at Galleria Marchetti at the end of the evening for those who do not use Uber or Lyft. Since our wedding is taking place on a summer Friday, please plan ahead for traffic. If you are traveling from the suburbs on Friday, we suggest using the Metra. If you are traveling from out-of-town on Friday, we suggest leaving in the morning vs. waiting until lunchtime. Trust us on this one :) If you absolutely must drive, valet is available at the venue for $14. Please be responsible and plan a safe ride home.
