The Willis Tower staff doesnt joke around! All of our guests will need a government issued photo ID & to pass through a metal detector prior to coming up. Please DONT FORGET YOUR ID and allow some extra time for this process.
We love your kids but we know more than anyone- mom and dad need a night off sometimes! Our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
If your invitation says "and Guest", then yes, if not, we'd prefer if it was just you
No, the Hyatt is a 4 block walk down S Franklin and the JW is a 2 block walk on W Adams. We encourage getting some fresh city air to avoid having to look for parking.
Formal or Black Tie Optional- Think suit and tie or tux for men and long or fancy cocktail dresses for ladies.
Chicago has a vaccine requirement mandate in place. Proof of full vaccination must be presented upon entering any indoor dining location in the city including our venue. Unvaccinated individuals must have a letter of medical or religious exemption and proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours in order to enter. Please email your proof of vaccination to emilyandjohn.sample@gmail.com so we can have a backup proof available to present the venue if needed the day of the wedding. Masks and hand sanitizer will also be available.
We are registered at Macy's and Bed, Bath and Beyond. You can look us up under our names- Emily Mohyde and John Sample.
