Great question! Austin and Stephanie appreciate the small, impactful moments of life and have decided to keep their wedding intimate.
Because of venue and health restrictions, unless already indicated by Stephanie or Austin, there will be no plus ones. Stephanie and Austin find that intimate celebrations are always more fun!
Spring Semi-Formal Attire: Think floral dresses, midis, dressy jumpsuits, linen jackets, and slacks. Typical weather in Chicago at the end of May can range anywhere from low 50s to high 70s. Keep in mind that the ceremony will be outside but covered. The reception will be inside but there will be an outdoor patio.
Stephanie and Austin have opted for a more informal celebration which means that a classic sit-down dinner will not be served. However, there will be appetizers to munch on and cake. They have left plenty of time between the ceremony and reception to grab a bite to eat at one of the many amazing restaurants in the Lakeview/Lincoln Park area. Please see the "Things To Do" tab for suggestions!
Stephanie and Austin are requiring all guests to be fully vaccinated in order to attend their ceremony and reception. Fully vaccinated means that each guest is vaccinated to the fullest extent in which they are eligible.
The ceremony is in the middle of a public riverwalk, right outside of Lincoln Park Zoo. There are several places to park around the area. You can park in the Lincoln Park Zoo designated parking lot ($40) and park by the Ulysses S. Grant Monument. Directions from there are under the "Schedule" tab. The reception has valet parking for $40 a night.
There will be an open bar courtesy of Stephanie, Austin, and their families.
