We are so happy you can share this moment with us!
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Complimentary street parking is available along Lexington, Lytle, and Cabrini streets for both the rehearsal and ceremony. The wedding is registered as a "special event" with the City, so you will be clear to park on those streets. We have recommended some of our favorite Chicago activities on the "things to do" tab in between the ceremony and reception. Our reception building, 311 S. Wacker, will also be open if you would like to head there early and enjoy the cash bar until cocktail hour begins.

The reception venue will also be open early, so feel free to head to Pazzo's after the ceremony and enjoy a cash bar before cocktail hour begins at 6:00 pm. Pazzo's Restaurant is located inside the office building 311 S. Wacker in the glass atrium. There is no street sign that says Pazzo's on Wacker, but you can't miss the enormous atrium! Enter the building on Wacker Drive and walk down the stairs to the first floor. Cocktail hour begins at 6:00 followed by dinner at 7:00, dancing and a late night snack. The reception will conclude at midnight. As the health and safety of our guests is our priority, we will be abiding by all Phase 4 regulations. Masks will be required at all times unless seated at your table for dinner. Please see the FAQs tab for more information on the parking lot located directly next to 311 S. Wacker.
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
The Chao's are graciously hosting a brunch the day after the wedding for all of our guests! We will be in the Foreman Pavillion inside the Lincoln Park Zoo. Please note you do not need to make reservations at the Zoo in order to attend. Feel free to stop by and say hi, or hang out with us the whole time! There will be catered brunch food along with coffee, iced tea, and mimosas! Please RSVP so we can accurately plan the food catering.
