Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

We're so excited to share some of our favorites in Chicago with you. Below are recommendations clustered either by the church (top), reception area (middle), or general Chicago favorites (bottom).

About a 5 minute walk from the church- big patio with tacos and margs!

Our favorite bagel spot in the city- very close to those staying in the Loop near our venue!

Pequod's Pizza

Walkable from the Congress Hotel and Chicago Athletic Association- one of our favorite Chicago museums.

One of the top spots for some live Jazz - if you are in town a few extra days definitely check this place out (and buy a matching t-shirt to the Bride and Groom!)

Fingers crossed for a weekend of sunshine and good weather! We highly recommend an architecture tour to get to know the city better by water.
