FAQs
Question
What's the weather gonna be like?
Answer
Ultimately, we don't know. Weather in Chicago at the end of April tends to range between 45-65 degrees fahrenheit. It could be sunny, it could be foggy, it could be rainy, and less likely, but still possible, it could be snowy. We have had 75 degrees and sunny at the end of April and 32 degrees and snowy, so best to check weather predictions come closer to the date to try and get a better idea. The venue will be inside, and there will be a place to hang coats.
Question
Covid?
Answer
Testing We ask that all of our guests please take a rapid Covid-19 test day of the event, and to stay home if they test positive. Masking This is an indoor, unventilated event in which people will be drinking and eating as well as a sit down dinner, therefore we are not requiring masks, however guests are welcome to mask for their own comfort and safety.
Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
This is a semi formal event. That means dresses, trousers, button ups, and blazers are all on the docket. Ultimately, we'd love everyone to feel like their cutest, hottest selves whatever that means to them. This is a queer wedding. Bright colors are encouraged. Bring your looks. Jasmine has expressed explicitly that no jeans are allowed.

How to get to the venue?
Answer
Bus By CTA (Chicago Transit Authority), the venue runs directly on the 152 bus route on Addison (stops running on Sundays around 9pm).
