Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding day will be an adults-only celebration (21 years and older). We kindly ask that this request be respected, as we will be unable to accommodate anyone under 21 at either the ceremony or reception. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy a well-deserved night off celebrating with us!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

As we are keeping our celebration intimate, we are only able to accommodate guests who are formally invited and listed on your invitation. If you have received a plus one, they will be included when you RSVP. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those listed. We kindly ask that you respect this, as uninvited guests will not be permitted to attend. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

Is there a hotel block?

Answer

Yes! We have reserved a hotel block at the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Chicago Bolingbrook. Room details, rates, and booking information can be found under the Transportation page. The deadline to book a room is May 6, 2026. Additional hotel options are provided under the Transportation page for convenience; however, only the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites includes a room block and shuttle service. Please note: If you miss the hotel block deadline, you will need to book at the hotel’s regular rate. If the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites is fully booked, there are plenty of other accommodations available between Bolingbrook and Naperville.

Question

Can I take pictures/videos at the ceremony?

Answer

As our wedding will take place during a Catholic Mass, we kindly ask that guests respect the sacred nature of the Church by observing an unplugged ceremony. Please refrain from using phones or cameras during the Mass. Only the professional photographers and videographer are permitted to take photos and video. Your presence and prayerful participation mean more to us than anything. We promise to happily share our professional photos once they are received!

Question

What happens if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If we do not get your RSVP back by the date which we have provided, it will be marked as a "No". We will miss you celebrating with us, however, we have to provide our total guest count to the reception venue in a timely manner. Due to this, we cannot accept late RSVPs. This would mean we wouldn’t be able to include you in our wedding day, as we won’t have seating, food, or beverage accommodations available.

What should I do if I can't make the wedding?

Answer

You will be missed! If you are unable to attend our wedding, please indicate your regrets on the RSVP tab by the deadline date so we can plan accordingly.

Both the ceremony location and reception venue offer designated parking, with plenty of spaces available on each property! At the reception, valet parking will also be available for your convenience.
