We love kids, we really do! But if you have an infant or young child, we recommend getting a babysitter so you can have the night off to enjoy our wedding! With that said, all are welcome so please feel free to bring your child along if you wish. Please note, we're asking all children 14 years old and under to select a kids meal, rather than a main entrée, in their RSVP.
There is no formal transportation in place to/from the hotels or the wedding venues. But we've intentionally planned all hotels and wedding venues to be within walking distance of each other (all are less than 0.8 miles apart). So we encourage guests to get out and walk to fully experience downtown GR. Uber and Lyft are also fast and affordable transportation options.
Parking is available at both hotels: At the Courtyard by Marriot cost is $20/night for self-parking and $25/night for valet. At the Holiday Inn there is no additional charge. Parking is available in a private lot at the church for no charge. Cars are welcome to stay throughout the duration of the ceremony and reception but overnight parking not permitted. Grand Rapids Public Museum has a parking ramp located across the street (Front Ave NW) from the main entrance. Guests are welcome to park in the ramp during the reception for a $10 fee.
Please dress in formal attire, no jeans
For our registry, we've chosen to forgo requesting material items. Instead, we're asking for monetary gifts only. To contribute electronically, go to the Registry tab and follow the link. A card box will also be available at the reception for gifts made in cash or check. If you'd like to mail a gift, our address has recently changed. Please mail to 2701 Oakton Street, Park Ridge, IL 60068.
