Travel Note
Due to a Northwestern University home football game on the same date as our wedding, demand for hotel rooms Saturday night in Evanston is very high (I-L-L by the way, Chicago's real Big Ten team). We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hyatt House very close to our venue, but feel free to check other hotels in area as well.

Hotel
After multiple attempts and hours being held on the phone or passed around to anyone but the department able to help us, we gave up trying to get a room block at the the Hilton Orrington. Pros: it’s is VERY close the reception and walkable to and from the venue (less than 5 mins), also looked beautiful before it’s brief closure (Thanks, COVID). Cons: Kaitlin would say the poor customer satisfaction though the failed room block. Google reviews has other opinions.
Train
Avoid the Uber/Lyft fares and hop on the nation's 2nd largest public transportation system. The Davis purple line stop drops you off in the middle of downtown Evanston only a 5 min walk away from the reception venue.
