Question

The reception is in a forest preserve? Do I need bug spray?

Answer

Our reception venue is in a forest preserve. Don't worry, it is in an actual legit building with air conditioning, so you don't need to prepare to be roughing it. Enter confidently, through the woods and over the railroad tracks. Once you see what looks like a lovely place for a wedding reception on the right, you've reached your destination. Parking is to the left.

Are you registered anywhere?
