Question

Isn't that Saturday Chicago's St. Patrick's Day?

Answer

You bet! Walden, as well as our selected hotels, are far from the river dyeing festivities and the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade route. That being said, please be aware of this when planning your travel and accommodations. Chicago takes St. Patrick's Day very seriously. "The history of St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago goes back more than 175 years. Now a longstanding tradition, Chicago’s Irish parade was first held in 1843 and became an official city event in the 1950s. The dyeing of the Chicago River was added in 1962, quickly becoming one of Chicago’s most famous events."

Question

Can I Bring a Date?

Answer

If your formal invitation reads "and Guest," you bet! They must be an adult, and they must be a good time. Please include their name and meal selection when you RSVP. (Guests were not addressed on Save the Dates, only on your Formal Invitation. If you need to make travel arrangements, check in with the couple to confirm how many seats were reserved in your honor.)

Question

Are Kids Invited?

Answer

We are only able to accommodate the children in the wedding party at our ceremony and reception, otherwise, this is an adult-only occasion. Please use this as an opportunity to have a fun night-out or weekend get-away. We understand this might not work for all families, and we look forward to a lifetime of sharing other special events with you and your children should you choose to decline your invitation.

Question

Question

Isn't March 15th the "Ides of March?"
