We have booked a room block at the Hyatt, located a five-minute walk from the reception venue. Please use the below link to book (code G-WG26), or tell the hotel staff "Watson-Giese Wedding Block" when you call (if you do call, double check you are getting the rates indicated in the link - it's IL marathon weekend!). Rooms will be held on a first come, first served basis until 3/25/2026.
