FAQs

Question

What COVID precautions are in place?

Answer

The City of Chicago has recently removed the mask and vaccine requirement for most public spaces. Masks are still required on public transportation and in ride share services. We are still requiring guests be fully vaccinated for the safety and peace of mind of everyone attending our wedding. We will keep you updated if COVID restrictions change.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your kids, but our wedding and reception are both adults-only. Please don't bring children under the age of 16.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, the dress code is cocktail attire. Please wear cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets and slacks. Let us know if you have any questions!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we would love to celebrate with as many people as possible, unfortunately we can only accommodate guests who are indicated on the wedding invitation. If your invitation does not indicate that you can bring a guest, please refrain from doing so.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Parking can be extremely limited around Thalia Hall because it's a Chicago neighborhood. When possible, we encourage you to use public transportation or to use a ride share service. If you do need to park, 18th street offers meter parking, while Racine does not require permits or meters. Free street parking is also available along the train tracks on 16th street between Ashland and Racine. As always, please respect Thalia Hall's neighbors.

Question
