FAQs

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Yep! That's why we asked on your RSVP if you are bringing a plus one.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Yep! In fact, the more kids, the more likely Karina is to convince Ted that a bouncy house is a must have, so really, her joy is in your hands.

Question

Is there a deadline to RSVP?

Answer

We'd appreciate all RSVPs in by August 1, 2022! Earlier would also be super helpful for us.

Question

Can I bring my pet (dog/cat/bird/rat/giraffe/llama/goat)?

Answer

There are no pets allowed in the venue, not even if they're wearing cute little tuxes. Sad but we have to follow the rules. Update: 4 poodles in a tuxedo will also not be admitted to the venue, unfortunately.

Question

What about the goats Ted has to give his new father-in-law per the ketubah (Jewish marriage contract)?

Answer

The goats will not be present at the venue and have been direct deposited to the Sirota house.

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

Please tell us! We want this to be a fun event and hangry people make events less fun, so we will accommodate as best we can.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is formal! Karina personally loves getting dressed up, so we're hoping this is a great excuse for everyone to wear their favorite formal dresses or a suit or a tux! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Karina!

Question

What colors should I wear?

Answer

Anything you like! Karina really doesn't want anyone showing up in the same dress as her though (#awkward) so we request no white or ivory dresses or suits. You can wear any other colors- no restrictions! (except the white and off-white. See above.)

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yep! We'll have it from the Hampton Inn at Deer Park. It's about an 8 minute drive, so quick to get over!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yep! It's a big lot. You'll definitely find a spot.

Question

Can I visit Chicago during the long weekend?

Answer

Yep! Chicago is about an hour southwest of the wedding location. If you're renting a car (and driving into Chicago, you're mad), it's a 45 minute drive. If you want to take the train, you can either take the Union Pacific Northwest to Barrington and call an Uber, or you can take North Central to Buffalo Grove and take an uber from there. North Central only runs on weekdays, so the UP-NW is likely the better option. (See train schedule here: https://ridertools.metrarail.com/maps-schedules/train-lines/UP-NW).
