FAQs

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Nope! No physical gifts, please. We are fortunate to have everything we need. If you'd like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, there will be a card box at the venue, or you are welcome to contribute via Venmo or Zelle. Venmo: @Carly-Calderone / Zelle: carlyryan1796@gmail.com

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

Your children are welcome to join us for our wedding ceremony and reception! The welcome party will be adults-only.

Question

Do you have a hotel block booked?

Answer

We do not! We want you to choose a location that works well for you. See the travel page for inspiration.

Question

Should we drive/bring a car to Chicago?

Answer

If you plan to drive to Chicago, make sure the place you're staying has overnight parking options. If you plan to fly or take the train, you won't need a rental car to get around, and frankly, we wouldn't recommend getting one! There are no shortage of transportation options between Chicago's public transportation, cabs, and rideshare apps.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

There is no dress code required for the welcome party. See the “Schedule” page for dress code at the wedding.

Question

What time should we arrive to the wedding?

Answer

The ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM (Central). Please arrive at 4:30.

Question

Will there be parking available?

Answer

Parking options at our venues will be limited. Free or paid street parking may be available, but you might have to seek it out. We recommend using rideshare or public transportation instead.

Question

When do I need to RSVP?
