Welcome Event - Chicago Boat Tour
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
465 North McClurg Court, Chicago, IL 60611
Booking information to come ASAP. We are working on a possible group discount! But please feel free to RSVP in advance so we have an idea of how many people are interested. This is optional. We can't host this event, but just think it would be fun to go as a group with whoever would like to join us! We've done this tour many times, and each time is beautiful, interesting and different! It's worth it - especially for Chicago first-timers!
Karaoke
9:00 pm
Specific Time and Location TBD - but what a fun way to end the night for anyone that would like to join us!

Wedding Ceremony
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm
3701 North Recreation Drive, Chicago, IL 60613
Beach/Garden/Cocktail Attire - or come as you are! Ceremony will be in the grass, so maybe rethink stilletos!
Seating will be very limited and reserved for those who need it. For everyone else, we will provide beach blankets and pillows. If you are able, feel free to bring along a camping chair for yourself or to share (please label it so we can get it back to you). We know beach blankets aren't ideal for some attire, but we'll keep the ceremony brief, so hopefully standing isn't a huge issue! There are bathrooms in the Clock Tower and a cafe is onsite to serve drinks and bites if you want to come early and enjoy the park! There is also a golf course right there if you want to do a morning round!

Beach is a 5-minute walk from our apartment. This is where we got engaged!

Known as Chicago's Gay Beach, you can bet we'll get a great group pic at the iconic rainbow painted pier light! Bring your own beverage and beach towel! (Or let us know if you'd like to borrow a towel from us!)
