FAQs

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal. Cocktail dresses, pant suits, jumpers, or a suit and tie are all appropriate. Smart-casual is the dress code for welcome drinks. Come in whatever you feel best in, though the bride and groom would love to see you in something funky or vintage inspired.

Question

I'm not Catholic. Can I receive Communion during the Nuptial Mass?

Answer

Like Holy Matrimony, receiving the Eucharist is a Holy Sacrament in the Catholic faith. If you are not a practicing Catholic, we encourage you to receive a blessing from the priest by approaching him with your arms crossed in an X over your chest. Otherwise, feel free to remain seated during Communion if that feels most comfortable.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

We will have shuttles running from the The Drake and Courtyard Marriott to the church and from the church to Thalia Hall. A shuttle schedule will be included in your welcome bag. Guests will be responsible for their own transportation after the reception. We recommend Uber/Lyft or the CTA.

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

Memorial Day weekend in Chicago is always a coin-flip. It could be 70 degrees and sunny or 50 degrees and rainy. Either way, it will most likely be cool at night, so pack a light jacket.

Question

Will wedding events be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be indoors. Welcome drinks for out-of-town guests will be indoor/outdoor.

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

Yes. Click the "travel" tab for information about booking.

Question

Can I bring a date? Can I bring my kids?

Answer
