The Rookery is located in the heart of The Loop neighborhood of downtown Chicago, there's a handful of parking garages in the area. We recommend downloading the SpotHero app to find affordable parking options or utilizing public transit.
While we love you and your families, we have chosen to make our event ages 12 and up. We hope that with enough notice, you’re able to make necessary arrangements and if not, we understand! Life happens.
If your invitation indicated a guest, then yes!
There is a meal choice on the paper invitation and RSVP section of the website to indicate any dietary restrictions or needs.
Irish & Russian families coming together…of course :)
The entire wedding will be indoors, no need to worry about inclement weather.
We have decided not to have a gift registry. In lieu of this we ask our loved to contribute to our newlywed fund in which ever way they feel most comfortable (e.g., Zelle, Venmo, physical envelope.)
We ask that the ceremony portion of our wedding is ‘unplugged.’ An unplugged ceremony is when the couple requests their guests to put away, silence or turn off all of their devices (cell phones, cameras, etc.) for the duration of the ceremony. We have decided to do this to encourage everyone in attendance to be present and in the moment. Additionally, to allow for the photographer and videographer to capture our special moment without flash disruptions. We appreciate you in advance for respecting our wishes and fully sharing in our moment. Please feel free to take all the pictures at the conclusion of the ceremony. The Rookery is a stunning architectural building that NEEDS to be photographed!
The ceremony and reception will be taking place at The Rookery. Address: 209 S La Salle St, Chicago, IL 60604
We understand that many of our guests will be traveling from out of town to join us for our special day. To ensure your comfort, we've arranged a room block at The Lasalle Chicago: 208 S La Salle St, Chicago, IL 60604. It is located directly across the street from The Rookery! No need for transportation. Please see the Accommodations page on our website. If you plan to stay at The Lasalle, please book by August 8th to receive the wedding block discount.
Please feel free to contact JoAnn or Sean directly to help answer any questions.
