Our desire is for everyone to feel like a million bucks and dress the fanciest they have ever dressed. Dress like you are going to a ball at the queen's palace or going to accept an award at the Oscars. The dress code is Black Tie optional. This means we would LOVE for you to wear a formal floor length gown or tuxedo with bowtie, but it is not required. Our theme is Bridgerton. If you are familiar with the show, and so desire, you can dress in Regency Era style attire. We also encourage ladies to wear a tiara up to 1.5 inches in height. Men can wear a top hat if they'd like. You can check out this link for some examples of dresses: https://www.thedressoutlet.com/collections/formal-dresses For those who are local, the Fox Valley mall in Aurora has a few stores with formal dresses and tuxedos. With prom season ending, you may be able to get something on sale at department stores like Macys, JCPenney or Nordstrom. Some people are having luck ordering off Amazon. Please refrain from wearing white or sage as those are the colors the bridal party are wearing.

The party at the reception hall will go until 2 AM. So make sure to bring comfortable shoes to dance in!
No! We will have open bar, so all drinks are free to you! We pay the same price no matter how much our party consumes, so enjoy as much as you'd like. However, please be responsible, know your limit and make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and help prevent a headache the next day. You can also order nonalcohol beverages at the bar - like a mocktail of juices and soda. The serves can also bring regular soda, water and coffee to your table. If you'd like to tip the bartenders, you can bring cash to do so. However, this is not required as we're tipping the servers and bartenders at the end of the night.
Yes! We have a DJ booked for the reception at the hall. He will be there from 6:30 PM to 2 AM. His name is DJ MarS and he is a regular DJ at Playbook in Niles, IL. Feel free to give him a song request at the wedding for a song that will bring you to the dance floor.
