FAQs

Question

What does dressy summer casual mean and what does festive attire mean?

Answer

For Friday night: We'll be at an indoor / outdoor venue. Wear something light enough in case the weather is hot. We recommend sundresses, sport coats. No shorts or flip flops please! There is no need to wear anything related to the Henna, Julia will hold this part down for the group. For Saturday night: The event will be outdoors under a tent by the lake. We recommend wearing something appropriate for an outdoor formal party, but we encourage you to wear color or patterns or really anything you feel good in. Sunday: Brunch is casual! Come when you wake up or to grab some coffee and breakfast on your way out of town. There is no formal dress code.

Question

Will there be parking on Saturday?

Answer

We recommend calling an Uber or Lyft as it can be challenging to find parking near Jean-Paul's parents' house.

Question

Will there be Saturday transportation for guests staying at one of the hotels in the room block?

Answer

We are working on organizing transportation for guests staying at the Evanston hotels listed in our room block for August 15th. We will provide more information around transportation logistics closer to that date.

Question

Is there an after party on Saturday?

Answer

Once the official party wraps we will take drinks and music down to the beach to continue the night! We are working on organizing transportation back to the Evanston hotels at the end of the main event and at the end of the after party.
