Our ceremony and reception are at two different locations. We want to inform our guests that there will be about a three hour gap between these events. We understand this may be an inconvenience for some, but we want to take this time to capture precious photos, freshen up, and ensure every detail is perfect for the celebration. We recommend exploring the area or relaxing nearby during this time. We promise the party will be worth the wait!
We request that our guests wear formal attire to our evening reception. Some guests may find it more comfortable to wear a dressy casual outfit to our church ceremony and then change into their reception attire during the break.
Our goal is to create an intimate environment with our closest family and friends at our celebration. We can only accommodate those specifically listed on your wedding invitation.
Osteria Via Stato serves delicious Italian food. You will order your meal off of a pre-selected menu at the reception. The restaurant can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Please share any concerns with your server.
There is ample parking in the lot across the street from our church for the ceremony. Near the reception venue there is limited metered street parking. Validated self parking is available at 33 West Ontario with a discounted rate of $10 per car for the reception.
We have a room block at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downton River North. Please see the Travel page for more details.
