The Wedding Website of Laurie Vonburg McKenna and Louis Cassini Ellis
Below you’ll find information on airports, parking, and hotels to help with your travel plans. We’ve shared a mix of hotel options with room blocks reserved, though you’re welcome to stay wherever you’d like throughout the weekend. No matter where you stay, we can’t wait to celebrate together in Chicago! Evening transportation will be provided at the conclusion of the reception between The Dalcy and The Westin Chicago River North, Courtyard Chicago Downtown/River North, and Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel.
