Question

How do I find the entrance to your venue?

Answer

While the address is Ada street, you can only enter the residents via the alley way. Way north on Ada Street until you come to Wabansia. Turn left on Wabansia and you will come to an alleyway halfway down the block (between Ada and Elston). Turn left down the alley and walk about about halfway down. It's safe, we promise

Question

What's the best neighborhood to stay in?

Answer

If you enjoy being by the water, we recommend River North, Gold Coast or Lincoln Park. Ranked in order from noisiest to least noisy. All are conveniently located just east of the venue. River North is considered the "downtown" neighborhood and is convenient to everything. If you're looking for some of the best restaurants in the city - we love The West Loop. If you're looking for a neighborhood, also with great restaurants and a little removed from the bustling downtown - we love Logan Square & Wicker Park. While there's nothing wrong with the Loop, it's not as fun on the weekends as most everything is closed- so we'd encourage other neighborhoods first :)

Question

Why can't I specify my food allergy?

Answer

We will have a unique food experience that will offer you gluten free, vegetarian and other custom options. If you have any concerns, please let us know. The bride is allergic to seafood after all, we get it and want to accommodate you!

Question

Answer

While it's not required to be in black tie attire, we are all dressing up and hope you do too! Please keep in mind it will be early October in Chicago, so dress accordingly.

Question

Is the reception indoor or outdoor?

Answer

Our wedding will be held outdoors in a courtyard. Our reception will be a mix of outside and inside - with a majority of the tables and dance floor being outside. Chicago is unpredictable this time of year, so please dress accordingly.
