FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Our wedding is formal attire — evening gowns, cocktail dresses, suits, or tuxedos are all perfect. LM Studio is a chic city venue, and we can’t wait to celebrate in style! March evenings in Chicago can be chilly, so bring a warm coat for your arrival and departure.
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration. Enjoy a well-deserved night out — cocktails, not crayons!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony begins at 6:00 PM, so please plan to arrive by 5:30 PM to allow time for parking, coat check, and getting settled.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be at the same place?
Answer
Yes! Both the ceremony and reception will take place at LM Studio in Chicago’s South Loop. You can relax and enjoy the entire evening in one beautiful space.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We have a room block at Le Méridien Essex, conveniently located next to the venue. If the link doesn’t reflect the discounted rate, please reach out to the bride so we can make sure it’s corrected. We recommend booking early, as spring weekends in Chicago fill up quickly!
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Parking at our wedding venue is convenient and hassle-free. While street parking in the South Loop can be limited, there is several easy alternatives. Guests can utilize nearby garages, book parking through SpotHero, or take advantage of the garage directly behind the venue. For those seeking ultimate convenience, valet parking is available through Le Meridian Essex for a small fee. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also great options for getting to and from the celebration.
Question
What time does the celebration end?
Answer
Our reception will wrap up around 11:30 PM — but for anyone still ready to dance and celebrate, we’re planning to head out afterward! Details to come closer to the big day.
Question
What’s the weather like in Chicago in March?
Answer
It’s usually brisk, with temps in the 40s–50s, and the occasional surprise from Mother Nature. Plan for chilly air when heading to and from the venue.
Question
Are there any plans for the next day?
Answer
Instead of a brunch, we’d love for everyone to join us for a Chicago River Architecture Boat Tour around 2:00 PM on Saturday. Exact location, time, and a link to purchase tickets will be shared in early February. We can’t wait to keep the celebration going with a little fresh air and skyline views!
