Travel Note

Lay of the Land

Peoria- The "city" where most things happen Bloomington-Aubrey is not very familiar with this nearby "city" but it will be closer for those who are traveling from the east. Mackinaw- Where Aubrey grew up Morton- Where the Hauters live. Pumpkin Capital of the World. The wedding ceremony is here! Eureka- Cute small town where the wedding reception is located. As with most rural areas, a 30 minute drive anywhere is pretty standard. There are lots of hotels and house rental options within that radius of the ceremony and reception venues. Choose whatever works for you!

Travel Note

Central Time (CT) Zone

Please note that Illinois is in the central time zone so account for any time changes in your travel plans.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites

We recommend guests stay at this hotel or anything off of the I-74 exit at N Morton Avenue. The ceremony location is very close to these hotels.

Flight

Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)

O'Hare will be your best bet for a direct flight. It is a 2 hours and 30 min drive from the airport to the wedding ceremony location.

Flight

Greater Peoria Airport (PIA) or Central Illinois Regional (BMI)

These are small regional airports close to the wedding. We don't think you will be able to find a direct flight to these locations and the plane ticket will probably cost more but it could be worth it especially if you take into account the cost of a car rental.

Train

Amtrak From Chicago, IL - Union Station to Bloomington-Normal, IL

If renting a car from O'Hare isn't up your alley, you can try this train line that will get you pretty close to our wedding reception venue. Check out the CTA blue line or the Metra North Central Service as options to get you from O'Hare to Union station.
